Support the design of spacecraft structures and subcomponents to meet mission and payload requirements. Contribute and take ownership of CAD modelling, detailed design and drafting (e.g. machined parts, brackets, panels, assemblies) with the use of SolidWorks. Iterate on multiple mechanical concepts for our payload bay and related structures, performing design trade-offs (stiffness, mass, manufacturability, integration, thermal interfaces, etc.). Proactively research new design approaches, techniques and components relevant to our structures and payload interfaces, and turn your findings into concrete design updates or concise summaries. Provide support in assembly, integration, and testing of prototypes, systems, and subsystems. Run simulations (e.g. structural checks, mass properties, envelopes) and prepare data to support higher-fidelity analyses. Help prepare manufacturing packages (drawings, BOMs, machining notes) and interact with suppliers when needed. The exact scope will depend on your skills and internship duration (nominal 3-12 months), but will include a mix of design, research, and hands-on lab work.
