Power the future of Space at Star Catcher

Star Catcher is powering the future of space by building the world’s first orbital energy grid: the Star Catcher Network. Spacecraft connect into the Star Catcher Network and receive conditioned energy via their existing solar arrays, requiring no retrofit to utilize the first true space-based infrastructure. The Star Catcher Network provides power as needed from tens of Watts to tens of thousands of Watts at concentrations from fractions of a Sun of flux to ten Suns of flux. 

Star Catcher Industries, Inc., located in Jacksonville, FL, has opportunities for our Summer 2027 Engineering Internship Program to support the development of space-to-space power beaming spacecraft and the Star Catcher Network, its orbital power grid. This role will support our engineering team in a wide range of exciting projects related to space technologies and space systems. You will work closely with our engineering team, contributing to the development, testing, and optimization of various space-related components and systems. This internship offers an excellent opportunity for you to apply your academic knowledge in a real-world setting, collaborate on interdisciplinary teams, and gain valuable experience in the space industry.
