As an intern, you’ll gain hands-on experience in cutting-edge projects that push the boundaries of technology for CubeSats and SmallSats. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers, contribute to real missions, and learn what it takes to deliver reliable propulsion systems for space applications. Even if no fitting project cluster is available, we’d love to hear from you, in that case submit a general application and tell us how you can contribute.\nResponsibilities per project cluster\nAIT Internship\nSupport assembly and integration of propulsion systems and related prototypes, qualification units, and flight models.\n\nDerive optimal methods for assembling and testing (sub)systems.\n\nCreate and improve assembly protocols and contribute to process optimization.\n\nAssist in developing qualification documents to meet launcher requirements.\n\nParticipate in pressure, functional, and environmental testing for propulsion system qualification, including preparation, execution, and post-processing.\n\nSupport the HyNOx SmallSat project.\n\nPropulsion Engineering InternshipDesign, systems engineering, manufacturing, integration, and testing of propulsion systems for CubeSats and SmallSats.\nProcurement of components of the propulsion system.\nAssist with the qualification and acceptance of components for launcher requirements.\nHelp with the assembly and integration of propulsion systems and their corresponding prototypes, qualification, and flight models.\nTest and characterize aspects of propulsion systems. This includes test preparation, conducting tests, and data analysis. Some of these tests will be conducted in external facilities.\nSoftware Engineering & Propulsion Internship\nAssist in the architecture, development, and testing of a Python-based system simulation tool for spacecraft propulsion.\n\nDevelop and integrate mathematical models for spacecraft manoeuvres, delta-v budgets and pre-sizing of propulsion system components.\nSupport the implementation of Graphical User Interface (GUI) features to enhance the usability of internal engineering software.\nStructure, maintain, and validate comprehensive databases of propulsion hardware components (using JSON/structured data formats)\nConduct software verification runs, debug physics models, and analyse simulation data to ensure mathematical accuracy.\nEmbedded Systems Internship\nConduct hardware functionality tests on printed circuit boards, document results, and recommend improvements. Including integrated tests with propulsion systems and thrusters.\n\nAssist in harness design, cable assembly, and ensure reliable connections for test benches, prototype systems and flight hardware.\nDevelop and run test cases for firmware, troubleshoot software issues, and validate functionality against requirements.\nParticipate in small-scale PCB layout and design modifications, working with ECAD tools.\nCommunicate with cross-functional teams to ensure smooth integration of hardware and firmware components.\nYour Qualification\nStudying aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering,industrial engineering or a related field\nHands-on mentality, not afraid of getting hands dirty and approaching new fields of work\nHonesty and detail oriented\nInterest in the space sector and space hardware\nFluent in English, German is a plus\nExperience with CAD tools (e.g. Fusion, NX, Catia, or similar)\nIdeally: Experience with fluid systems, valves, and mechanical work\nIdeally: Experience working in a student (rocketry) team\nOur Benefits\nAn exciting work environment encompassing the whole process from the development, building, and launch of space propulsion systems\nFlexible working time\nCombination of working in the office, at home, and on the go\nProfessional skills development through a broad base of responsibilities and freedom\nEngage directly and actively participate in the end-to-end development processes of an expanding NewSpace start-up\nContact Information\nDon’t worry if you don’t meet every single requirement listed. We value potential, motivation, and a willingness to learn just as much as experience. If you’re excited about the role and believe you can contribute, we’d love to hear from you!\nFor any questions, reach out to 01525 9532795","description_format":"text","description_chars":4298,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"German","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":true},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-02T09:58:48Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.191,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":465,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:27","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-06T05:45:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/isptech-internship-fmx","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/isptech-internship-fmx.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-07T03:04:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4510,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":490,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-08T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2138517},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2138517"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fisptech-internship-fmx"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fisptech-internship-fmx"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fisptech-internship-fmx"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/isptech-internship-fmx\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fisptech-internship-fmx"}]}
