What You'll Do If selected, youll be entrusted with real engineering challengeseither taking a project from concept to completion or contributing to critical parts of larger missions.

That means: Researching, designing, building, testing, and proving systems or subsystems that matter. Working closely with senior engineers and mentors. Using real tools, real test facilities, and deliver real outcomes.

Many of our interns have designed and built things in orbit right now. Past Intern Projects Include: Designing and testing reaction control engines Creating support and test infrastructure Simulating spaceplane and satellite flight trajectories Satellite propulsion system components and much more! Who We're Looking For You're currently studying (or recently completed): Aerospace, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical or Software Engineering Computer Science, Data Science, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, or a Trade Not on the list but think you're a great fit?

About Dawn Aerospace Our mission is to accelerate the next generation of space users with scalable and sustainable ways to deliver the things they care about from Earth to Space, and from Space to everywhere else.

Were building a spaceplane, a cutting-edge launch vehicle that combines the performance of a rocket with the rapid reusability and economic model of an aircraft. Were also the fastest-growing supplier of green propulsion systems for satellites in the world. Our turnkey systems manoeuvre satellites in space and deorbit them at the end of their lifetimes.
