Orbital Operations
Orbital Operations is seeking engineering interns to own meaningful hardware projects, driving them from concept through execution, testing, and iteration. The role involves collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams to contribute to cryogenic propulsion and orbital mobility systems. Interns are expected to demonstrate prior experience taking real hardware from an idea to a tested result.
Orbital Ops develops high-thrust, cryogenic-powered orbital spacecraft engineered for rapid maneuver, interception, defense, and on-orbit repositioning. Their Astraeus vehicle family is designed to deliver high delta‑v and mission‑speed responsiveness for LEO–GEO operations and payload hosting in space security applications. The company presents itself as defense‑ready and focused on deep engineering, fast iteration, and bold thinking to shape the next era of orbital operations. Orbital Ops combines advanced propulsion and systems engineering to provide responsive orbital maneuvering and defensive capabilities for government and commercial customers.
