Teams at Astro Mechanica

Own full-cycle recruiting for highly specialized technical and leadership roles in aerospace. Develop unconventional sourcing strategies, build talent ecosystems, partner strategically with executives and hiring managers, deliver personalized candidate experiences, improve recruiting systems, assess talent rigorously, and close difficult searches. The role requires strong judgment, creativity, relationship-building, systems thinking, and the ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.

Supports aerospace test engineering by designing and fabricating test stands and fixtures, developing test plans and instrumentation, operating test hardware, documenting procedures, analyzing data, troubleshooting facilities, and improving reliability. The intern owns a scoped summer project and presents results. Work involves jet engine and subsystem testing, hands-on hardware, data acquisition, fabrication, and safety around pressurized systems, flammables, and high voltage.

Support the design, analysis, assembly, and testing of propulsion hardware. Conduct design trade studies, CAD modeling, structural, thermal, and fluid analyses, tooling design, data analysis, troubleshooting, and corrective actions. Present work in design reviews and own a scoped summer project through completion. The internship is full-time and in person in San Francisco, with hands-on work on the Duality engine and mentorship from experienced engineers.
