Systems Engineer – Internship

SpaceLocker makes satellite missions more efficient and sustainable through in-orbit payload hosting: any organization can send sensors or experiments into space without worrying about the technical side, while gaining performance and reducing emissions and debris. Our technology stack, combining proprietary hardware with cloud-inspired software, creates a true "space USB" with revolutionary plug-and-play.

Far from dog-picture blockchains or lunar hotels, we are building a solid company, a foundation for the next era of space exploration, driven by technical expertise, rapid prototyping, and a direct link to the market.

SpaceLocker is committed to diversity and inclusion — age, gender, origin, disability (with a slight irony, our founding team being the most "average white guys" imaginable 😀). Progress and inclusion require real effort and compromise, not just words.

SpaceLocker is seeking a talented systems engineer to join our innovative team. In this role, you will be responsible for preliminary designs for our missions, and help satellite operations.

Your missions

In this position you will work with the Systems Engineering team to: 

• Assess the compatibility between payloads,

• Support space mission engineering from preliminary analysis to flight operation (phase 0 to E),

• Support the team with the operation of our satellite.

• Analyze in-orbit data and operational feedback

This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. If you think you’re a good fit, even without matching every requirement, we’d love to hear from you.

Hard skills

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Systems Engineering, Space Engineering, or a related field.

• You have experience of preliminary design for a satellite at system level, and are proficient with mission design tools like STK, or preliminary design tools like IDM-CIC.

• You have good reporting and analysis skills.

• You can do mission analysis, platform budgets (mass, data, energy, etc.), lead discussion in a make-buy trade-off.

• Programming or scripting skills (Python, MATLAB, or similar) are appreciated.

• Fluent in English

Soft skills

• You like practical, hands-on projects, and show autonomy. The startup world is a bit messy sometimes, and we’ll need your help on unexpected topics to keep up with the swirl of things going on,

• You know how to communicate about your results, including conveying their interest to a non-technical public,

• Strong interest in space systems and satellite missions

• Basic knowledge of satellite subsystems and space mission concepts

• You are passionate about space and have a general culture about the space sector.
