About the job
We are looking for a Satellite Systems Intern to help define how a satellite operates across different mission phases, operating modes, and nominal and off-nominal scenarios. The intern will work closely with the Systems Engineering team, which is responsible for defining satellite- and subsystem-level requirements, developing the Concept of Operations and Operations Concept, managing design changes and their system-level impact, and supporting verification and validation of the satellite.
Key Responsibilities
Translate mission objectives into structured satellite operational scenarios.
Define spacecraft modes, states, transitions and recovery paths.
Develop mission timelines and subsystem interaction flows.
Map operational activities to spacecraft and ground-segment functions.
Identify dependencies, edge cases, failure scenarios, and logical inconsistencies.
Coordinate with subsystem teams to ensure operational plans are technically feasible.
Prepare clear flowcharts, state diagrams, sequence diagrams, and system documentation.
Requirements
Requirements
Strong understanding of state-based and event-driven systems.
Excellent logical, analytical, and structured problem-solving ability.
Ability to reason through both nominal and contingency scenarios.
Ability to convert high-level objectives into clear system behavior and step-by-step operational logic.
Strong technical writing and diagramming skills.
Comfortable identifying assumptions and working through ambiguous or incomplete requirements.
Pursuing or recently completed a relevant engineering or technical degree.
Preferred
Experience with spacecraft, CubeSat, robotics, embedded-system, or autonomous-system projects.
Familiarity with systems engineering, mission operations, state machines, SysML, or requirements development.
Basic scripting or modelling experience using Python, MATLAB/Simulink, or similar tools.
