Flight Software Engineering Intern
$56.16k - $64.48kReflect Orbital
At Reflect, you will be expected to move fast, have a lot of ownership and, most importantly, be able to effect change. If this excites you, we are interested in hearing about your best work and accomplishments across any domain and from any points in your life.
About the Role
Reflect Orbital believes that talent is talent regardless of experience. If you seek an opportunity to solve hard problems and advance humanity, Reflect Orbital can offer that experience.
During your internship at Reflect Orbital you will be given as much responsibility as our full-time team-members. You work will contribute to directly to the success of our flying constellation.
Ideal candidates for internships will be comfortable facing challenges with no known solution, willing to be hands-on individual contributors, and able to commit to a minimum of 12 weeks in-person at our Hawthorne, CA office. We encourage all motivated and excellent candidates to apply regardless of the specific set of requirements you meet.
Responsibilities
Own the design, development, analysis, manufacturing, and testing of novel spacecraft components
Build complete tools and testing setups, with an emphasis on fully completing and shipping your work
Prototype and iterate rapidly
Ideal Qualifications
You're capable of incredibly scrappy solutions, but also have experience building & shipping complex and high quality solutions when the problem requires it
You're both capable of working highly independently, but you know when to seek experience
Even if you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, we are likely still interested in hearing from you. Hiring exceptional individuals is our #1 priority, and we believe that exceptional people often have highly unusual backgrounds.
We are also interested in carving out unique roles for unconventional people that we are excited about working with.
Benefits
Reflect Orbital’s success will hinge on our team, which is why our compensation and benefits plan is designed to reward our employees and support their families as generously as we’re able.
Unlimited paid time off
Healthy lunches provided daily
