The Position

A new space race has begun. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build innovative technology that solves the next generation of engineering, manufacturing, and operational challenges for space security and sustainability.

Responsibilities

As a member of our Engineering Internship Program, you will gain hands-on experience contributing to the design, development, and testing of mission-critical spacecraft systems. Internship responsibilities may include:

• Create detailed mechanical designs for GSE used during spacecraft integration, test, and launch operations, including lift fixtures, transport containers, and interface adapters.
• Design structural and mechanical interfaces between spacecraft buses and payloads, ensuring compatibility with mission-specific environments and load conditions.
• Collaborate with electrical and avionics teams to define and optimize wiring harness layouts for power and signal routing across spacecraft subsystems.
• Develop test plans, procedures, and visual storyboards for environmental qualification tests such as thermal vacuum (TVAC), vibration, shock, and electromagnetic interference/compatibility (EMI/EMC). Support test execution and post-test analysis.
• Assist in the design, simulation, and testing of GNC algorithms for spacecraft attitude and orbit control, including modeling of sensors, actuators, and feedback control systems.
• Support propulsion subsystem development, including thruster selection, feed system layout, and performance modeling for maneuver planning, orbit maintenance, and contingency scenarios.
• Collaborate closely with mentors and team members to apply your knowledge and develop technical skills in a fast-paced environment.
• Engage in cross-functional teamwork, interacting with engineers from various disciplines to solve complex challenges.
• Showcase your work through presentations or project reviews.
• Participate in social and professional events with fellow interns and employees.

Requirements

• Currently enrolled in an engineering discipline at a four-year accredited university.
• Experience in the development of aircraft, spacecraft, or similar systems (internships, laboratory, academic, and personal/team project experience is applicable).
• Must be able to work full time (40 hours per week), on-site in Denver, CO or Long Beach, CA for 12 consecutive weeks. 
  
  • Intern Program will run May – August 2026
• Must be able to provide own transportation and housing.

Nice To Haves

• Have completed their Junior and/or Senior year.
• GPA of 3.5 or above.
• Passionate about advancing space security and sustainability.
• Resilient problem-solving attitude.
