Are you ready to make a mark on the future of space exploration? SpaceX is looking for top talent to join its Intern Program, a unique and dynamic opportunity for those passionate about shaping humanity’s journey into space.
SpaceX Intern Program
A year-round program offers a chance to contribute directly to the groundbreaking work being done at SpaceX. By joining, you’ll take on real-world challenges and work on projects that are vital to advancing space technology and making life multi-planetary.
There are two options available for applicants:
Internships are open to students currently enrolled in a four-year accredited university. These roles are available to both technical and non-technical candidates. Moreover, there are additional opportunities for those pursuing graduate programs in business operations or software development.
Graduate Engineer positions are designed for those who have completed their bachelor’s degree in engineering, physics, or a related field and are enrolled in a graduate program. As a graduate engineer, you will take on significant responsibilities, working both autonomously and collaboratively on real space hardware development projects.
SpaceX’s Intern Program is available year-round, with three main seasons:
