Engineer The Future
SpaceX is a U.S.-based advanced technology company founded by residing CEO and CTO, Elon Musk. Founded in 2002, SpaceX builds rockets and spacecraft from the ground up, including cutting edge electronics, software, vehicle structures, and engine systems. The Falcon Launch Vehicle and Dragon Spacecraft programs are some of the most ambitious engineering systems in the world, designed to support our ultimate goals of aviation-like spaceflight capability and making humanity a multi-planet species. Our team is made up of more than 3,000 SpaceXers located across our Hawthorne, California headquarters; and other facilities in Florida, Texas, and Washington, DC.
Advance the course of human history and pave the ways to Mars
This is SpaceX. We are not like most companies. Our goal is to do what has never before been done--enabling mankind to live on other planets. We push the boundaries of what is currently possible, and understand it takes rare individuals to help us make this happen. We celebrate our successes, and each other. We seek future colleagues with a rare mix of drive, passion, scrappiness, intelligence, and curiosity to seek what’s beyond the stars.
Playing a direct role in advancing the course of human history is no small endeavor. Join us, and find your place in the SpaceX legacy.
The Opportunity: SpaceX is currently seeking talented individuals for our Internship/Co-Op Program at our new and developing launch site at Vandenberg Airforce Base in California. SpaceX engineering interns play a significant role in the design, development, testing, and manufacturing of intricate parts of our launch facilities. Here at SpaceX, you will obtain invaluable hands-on technical experience that you can’t learn in a classroom. Our engineers will help you to roll up your sleeves and apply text book theory and lab experience to creating solutions for real aerospace challenges. You will gain practical experience by participating in actual space hardware development projects. We are looking for talented mechanical, electrical, and aerospace engineering students. Areas of opportunity include:
- Integration
- Communication systems
- Fluid/Structural launch pad systems
The most successful candidates for SpaceX’s Internship/Co-Op Program have a history of significant contributions to hands-on extracurricular engineering projects in addition to a strong academic record. Many participants in SpaceX’s Internship/Co-Op Program return as full-time employees upon completing their higher education.
The Group: Launch Operations – The Launch Operations group is tasked with final vehicle integration and launch/mission execution. They are also responsible for the launch pad infrastructure, including ground support equipment and tooling. The hardware produced by the other departments is delivered to the Launch Ops group for integration into one seamless, beautiful system. Once the vehicle is integrated, they do final vehicle roll out, check out, and countdown for launch. This team does a significant amount of travel to and from our launch sites.
Basic Qualifications:
- Must currently be enrolled at a four-year university or college or no more than 6 months out from the most recent degree completed.
- Must be a U.S. citizen or a U.S. permanent resident (i.e. green card holder)
- Must be available to work full time at our Vandenberg facility beginning Jan/March 2015.
