We’re looking for a stellar Dynamics Engineering Intern to join our team for a 3 month internship. As a member of our growing dynamics team, you will help own the successful derivation of loads and environments for K2 Space satellites during ground transportation, launch, deployment, and on-orbit operation. 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
- Own dynamic analysis, test, and correlation to identify system performance solutions
- 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
