Design, develop, manufacture, analyze, and test spacecraft components and mission tools. The intern will prototype rapidly, build testing setups, troubleshoot complex systems, and contribute to spacecraft constellation operations. This is a hands-on, full-time onsite role requiring independent problem-solving, engineering judgment, and collaboration in a fast-paced environment.

Intern will design, develop, analyze, manufacture, and test novel spacecraft components and build complete software tools and testing setups. The role emphasizes rapid prototyping, iteration, ownership, and shipping high-quality solutions. Candidates work full-time onsite for at least 12 weeks and contribute to spacecraft constellation success. Preferred experience includes Python or C++, services and APIs, databases, Linux, cloud platforms, Kubernetes, networking, RF fundamentals, and ground station or satellite communications.

Design, develop, analyze, manufacture, and test novel spacecraft components. Build complete tools and testing setups, prototype rapidly, troubleshoot hardware and software, implement device drivers, and work with serial communication protocols. The internship requires independent, hands-on contributions and a minimum 12-week in-person commitment at the Hawthorne, California office.

Design, develop, analyze, manufacture, and test novel spacecraft components. Build complete tools and testing setups, prototype rapidly, iterate on solutions, and ship high-quality work supporting Reflect Orbital’s flying constellation. Interns are expected to work hands-on, take substantial ownership, solve ambiguous technical problems, and operate independently while seeking guidance when appropriate.

Leads full-stack guidance, navigation, and control development for a space vehicle, including attitude and orbit control, trajectory planning, six-degree-of-freedom simulation, Monte Carlo analysis, flight software, avionics-in-the-loop testing, sensor and actuator selection, constellation design, and real-time spacecraft operations support.

Develop full-stack guidance, navigation, and control systems for a novel spacecraft. Responsibilities include designing attitude and orbit control algorithms, trajectory and motion planning, 6-DOF vehicle simulation, Monte Carlo performance analysis, flight software development in C++ or Rust, HITL validation, sensor and actuator selection, orbit and constellation design, and on-orbit operations support.

Set the technical direction for satellite ground-segment architecture and roadmap. Design scalable command, telemetry, scheduling, networking, data, security, and automation systems for constellation operations. Deploy and operate software on AWS, lead launch and commissioning efforts, troubleshoot cross-domain issues, improve reliability and observability, and mentor engineers while supporting design reviews and hiring.

Drive proactive sourcing and outreach for engineering, manufacturing, and operations talent in aerospace. Build and maintain candidate pipelines, partner with hiring leads to define roles and speed decisions, represent the company at industry events, and manage high-volume searches with tailored engagement and follow-through.

The Composites Engineer will develop and optimize composite structures by refining processes, running experiments, and collaborating on manufacturing. Responsibilities include designing tooling and maintaining quality controls.

As a Mechanical Engineer, you will design, prototype, and validate spacecraft components, ensuring reliability and functionality under tight deadlines.
