Working for Open Cosmos 

Aim high, go beyond! At Open Cosmos we are solving the world’s biggest challenges from space, providing businesses, governments and researchers access to more readily available information than ever before - ready for the challenge? Then read on… 

Working in the AIT Team 

This team is the workshop for Open Cosmos satellite missions! We provide engineering support during the design phase then actually build and test the satellite - it doesn’t get much cooler than this! 

What will you be doing? 

Building and testing our satellites is at the heart of an AIT intern job - awesome right?! You will support our ongoing AIT campaigns by assembling satellite parts and supporting the functional and environmental test campaigns.

Our satellites need to be able to survive in space with minimal input from the ground so functional and environmental testing are key to success! 

What you need to be successful 

• You’ll use your skills of mechanical and electrical assemblies, which might come from hobbies or university projects
• You have fine motor skills which are the base to learn soldering, crimping and assembling delicate components
• Your background in aerospace, mechanical, electrical or software engineering gives you the necessary understanding of what you’re doing and allows you to take on more challenging tasks
• You’ll be pro-active and curious in your approach to work, always looking for more effective ways of doing things
