Original job description

Reading view uses normalized posting text so exact evidence excerpts can be highlighted.

EraDrive’s vision is to revolutionize spaceflight through autonomy on-orbit and on the ground. We build software and hardware which allow spacecraft to see, decide, and act with minimal human supervision. Our software is already flying in space, and we are scaling it into a product family covering on-orbit inspection and rendezvous, space-based sensing and situational awareness, constellation and space traffic management, and deep space operations. This is not a generic internship. Interns at EraDrive work on the same technical problems as full-time engineers and are evaluated against the same bar for ownership, rigor, and execution. Many interns will be considered for full-time roles. Focus areas

EraDrive’s vision is to revolutionize spaceflight through autonomy on-orbit and on the ground. We build software and hardware which allow spacecraft to see, decide, and act with minimal human supervision. Our software is already flying in space, and we are scaling it into a product family covering on-orbit inspection and rendezvous, space-based sensing and situational awareness, constellation and space traffic management, and deep space operations.

This is not a generic internship. Interns at EraDrive work on the same technical problems as full-time engineers and are evaluated against the same bar for ownership, rigor, and execution. Many interns will be considered for full-time roles.
