## About the role

At Orbital Operations, we believe bold missions demand exceptional builders. We’re assembling a world-class team to push the boundaries of dynamic space maneuvering, and we’re looking for engineering interns who have already demonstrated that they can take real hardware from an idea to a tested result.

## What they're looking for

- Currently pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or a related STEM field
- Demonstrated ownership of at least one hands on engineering project from concept or requirements through fabrication, assembly, testing, and iteration
- Strong command of engineering fundamentals and the ability to apply them to practical, open ended problems
- Experience designing, building, integrating, or testing physical hardware through a student team, internship, research program, employment, or personal project
- Ability to make engineering tradeoffs and move forward when requirements or information are incomplete
- Willingness to work directly with hardware, including assembly, instrumentation, troubleshooting, and test operations
