Intern- Mechanisms Development

Who you are

You are an aspiring Mechanism Engineer with a strong foundation in mechanical engineering principles. Your experience with finite element analysis (FEA) and structural analysis equips you to tackle complex engineering challenges. You possess knowledge of tribology, particularly in the context of space applications, and are eager to apply your skills in a real-world setting. You are a collaborative team player, ready to work alongside a multidisciplinary group of engineers to innovate and develop cutting-edge space mechanisms. You are detail-oriented and committed to maintaining thorough documentation of your design processes and testing results. You are excited about the opportunity to contribute to the success of space missions and ensure the reliability of critical components in harsh environments.

What you'll do

In this internship, you will engage in mechanism design and development, collaborating with a team to conceptualize and create mechanisms for the NYX spacecraft. You will consider various factors such as weight, reliability, and thermal effects in your designs. Your role will involve conducting research to solve complex engineering problems related to space mechanisms, ensuring that your solutions are both innovative and practical. You will validate your designs through ground-based testing and simulations, gaining hands-on experience in the testing and validation process. Additionally, you will maintain detailed records of your design iterations, test results, and modifications, preparing technical reports for internal stakeholders. This internship will provide you with invaluable experience in the aerospace industry, allowing you to contribute to projects that have a significant impact on future space missions.
