Who You Are
Astro Mechanica is seeking an intern to join our Software Engineering Team for the summer of 2027 (program begins on June 7, 2027 for semester schools and June 27, 2027 for quarter schools). This is not a sandbox internship. You’ll be embedded with the team in our San Francisco office, working on real projects that ship and contribute directly to our hardware and flight programs.
- The ideal candidate is curious, learns quickly, and is excited to write software that touches real aircraft systems.
- You’ll work alongside full-time engineers, take part in design discussions and code reviews, and own meaningful pieces of work from start to finish.
- Your work will move fast in a dynamic startup environment and will have a direct impact on our mission.
What You’ll Do
- Work as an embedded member of the software team, joining standups, design reviews, and planning alongside full-time engineers
- Own a scoped, real-world project from design through implementation, testing, and delivery, with mentorship from senior engineers
- Contribute to flight software, simulation, test infrastructure, or internal engineering tools
- Test your code on real flight hardware (flight computers, embedded microprocessors, engine hardware)
- Write clean, testable, and maintainable code, including unit and integration tests
- Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, propulsion, and controls engineers to understand software requirements
- Debug issues across the stack and learn how software integrates with embedded and real-time systems
- Present your work to the team at the end of the summer
What We’re Looking for
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Math, or a Science discipline
- Experience with C++, Rust, Python, or another programming language, through coursework, projects, research, or prior internships
- Solid fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and object oriented programming
- Familiarity with version control (Git) and software testing practices
- Ambition to work in a fast-paced environment and take ownership of your work
- Available for a full-time, in-person internship in San Francisco during Summer 2027 (approximately 10-12 weeks)
Perks & Benefits
- Competitive hourly pay
- Hands-on mentorship from experienced engineers
- Company-funded perks, including team lunches, game nights, and other activities
