We’re looking for a stellar Mechanical Engineering Intern to join our team for a 3 month internship. Working closely with our engineers, you will help develop complex structures and mechanisms for some of the largest and highest power satellites ever flown. In these projects you will apply your university knowledge to help develop space hardware in a professional setting. K2 Space is a highly collaborative environment and our interns will be encouraged to work with mentors and other team members to execute complex projects while maintaining a significant level of ownership and autonomy.
What you'd do
- Design, analyze, test, and build mechanical systems and structures
- Own and execute on a project that significantly impacts K2’s mission with the support of a mentor
- Use hand calculations, computational methods, and development tests to understand the physics behind your work
- Engage with a cross-functional team to perform hardware trades relevant to your project
- Solve real aerospace challenges by applying your knowledge from both inside and outside the classroom
What they want
- Must be currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in mechanical, aerospace, or other relevant engineering discipline
- 6+ months of experience applying technical engineering skills outside of the university classroom setting (eg: laboratory, research, extracurricular project teams, volunteering, personal projects or prior internship/work experience)
- Available for a minimum 12-week internship in person at our HQ in Torrance
What you get
- Hourly pay range for this non-exempt role is $30 - $40 per hour
- Hourly rate will be based on several factors including, but not limited to: knowledge and skills, education, and experience level
