El Segundo, US · Full-time · $60,000 – $80,000
About this role
Millennium Space Systems, a part of Boeing Defense, Space and Security, is a fast, agile small satellite company focused on national security space. Missions have direct impact to global security, like missile warning and Earth observation. The intern supports the propulsion team through hardware 3D models, drawings, and performance analysis.
The intern completes hand calcs, tolerance analysis, performance trades, and supports testing or analysis for upcoming or current builds. Responsibilities advance propulsion design and execution of Millennium satellites. This reduces risk of issues during build and operation.
Our team is curious, bold and innovative, taking risks and exploring new techniques. We influence change by challenging the status quo. When we watch our satellites launch, we know each one of us made it happen.
Over the 10-12 week internship, own the 3D modeling of parts, first-order analysis of fluid system and thruster performance, prototyping of parts, and supervising relevant testing or issue resolutions. Position is 100% onsite. Must meet U.S. export control as a U.S. Person.
