ABL Space Systems was founded in 2017 by veterans of SpaceX and Morgan Stanley to develop low-cost launch vehicles for the small satellite industry. More importantly, we’re building a launch system we are truly proud of – no gimmicks or over-design, just reliable, rapidly deployable launches. We’re an ambitious team with big goals and, together, we’re determined to prove that reaching space can be simple, efficient, and routine.

When launch day arrives, we want you by our side

ABL’s Engineering Interns enjoy problem solving, working in a fast-paced environment, and being an integral part of their team. There is no lack of challenging work and opportunities to learn.

Interns at ABL accept being responsible for tasks and are held accountable to other engineers and leadership. If being part of a grounded team and taking on roles in the design, development, qualification, build, and flight of your hardware sounds interesting, ABL is where you need to be.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Currently enrolled in any engineering discipline or computer science at a four-year accredited university

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Involvement as a member of a student-led extracurricular engineering project, for example:

Rocket Team

Formula SAE or BAJA SAE

AIAA Design/Build/Fly

Solar Car

Autonomous vehicles and Robotics

Coding Challenges

Work experience at university in lab research environment, or through a prior relevant internship

GPA of 3.5 or greater

WHAT WE LOOK FOR:

• 1. Critical thinking: ABL engineers understand the "why" behind all design decisions, operational events and test outcomes.
• 2. Ability to deal with ambiguity: there is no roadmap and ABL engineers must be comfortable defining their own pathway to an objective. 
• 3. End-to-end ownership: projects are delivered fully complete and ready for flight; there is no one to pick up the slack of partially complete work.
