Description
Internship Space Propulsion & Testing (F/M/X)
Department: Engineering
Employment Type: Intern / Student
Schedule: Full-time
Seniority: Student/Trainee/Intern
Location: Ludwigsburg, Lampoldshausen
At ISPTech, we’re shaping the future of space propulsion. As an intern, you’ll gain hands-on experience in cutting-edge projects that push the boundaries of technology for CubeSats and SmallSats. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers, contribute to real missions, and learn what it takes to deliver reliable propulsion systems for space applications. Even if no fitting project cluster is available, we’d love to hear from you, in that case submit a general application and tell us how you can contribute.
Responsibilities per project cluster
AIT Internship
Responsibilities per project cluster
AIT Internship
- Support assembly and integration of propulsion systems and related prototypes, qualification units, and flight models.
- Derive optimal methods for assembling and testing (sub)systems.
- Create and improve assembly protocols and contribute to process optimization.
- Assist in developing qualification documents to meet launcher requirements.
- Participate in pressure, functional, and environmental testing for propulsion system qualification, including preparation, execution, and post-processing.
- Support the HyNOx SmallSat project.
- Design, systems engineering, manufacturing, integration, and testing of propulsion systems for CubeSats and SmallSats.
- Procurement of components of the propulsion system.
- Assist with the qualification and acceptance of components for launcher requirements.
- Help with the assembly and integration of propulsion systems and their corresponding prototypes, qualification, and flight models.
- Test and characterize aspects of propulsion systems. This includes test preparation, conducting tests, and data analysis. Some of these tests will be conducted in external facilities.
Propulsion Testing Internship
- Contribute to the design optimization of a bi‑propellant space thruster test bench.
- Support the setup of fluid, electrical, and vacuum systems required for the test bench.
- Assist in the procurement and commissioning of components and subsystems necessary for the test bench.
- Prepare documentation describing the test bench architecture, interfaces, and operational procedures.
- Studying aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering,industrial engineering or a related field
- Hands-on mentality, not afraid of getting hands dirty and approaching new fields of work
- Honesty and detail oriented
- Interest in the space sector and space hardware
- Fluent in English, German is a plus
- Experience with CAD tools (e.g. Fusion, NX, Catia, or similar)
- Ideally: Experience with fluid systems, valves, and mechanical work
- Ideally: Experience working in a student (rocketry) team
- Experience with mechanical work
- Experience with LabView or similardata acquisition, instrument control, and industrial automation software
- Experience with industrial electrical systems
- Ideally: Hands on experience with rocket engine testing
- Ideally: Experience with self-pressurized systems
- An exciting work environment encompassing the whole process from the development, building, and launch of space propulsion systems
- Flexible working time
- Combination of working in the office, at home, and on the go
- Professional skills development through a broad base of responsibilities and freedom
- Engage directly and actively participate in the end-to-end development processes of an expanding NewSpace start-up
Don’t worry if you don’t meet every single requirement listed. We value potential, motivation, and a willingness to learn just as much as experience. If you’re excited about the role and believe you can contribute, we’d love to hear from you!
