Systems Engineering Intern
Software Engineering
About the Role
Established in 2017, Infinite Orbits is a NewSpace company based in Toulouse, pushing the boundaries of in-orbit services with cutting-edge spacecraft driven by its own Rendezvous solution, an advanced Autonomous Vision-Based Navigation Solution. Our key projects include
"Orbit Guard" a Smallsat capable of monitoring objects in GEO orbit, and "Endurance" a docking service extending customer satellites' lifespans by 5 years.
We are seeking a motivated Systems Engineering Intern to join our dynamic and international team. This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in building new satellite platforms and Space rendezvous payloads that are shaping the future of in-orbit services.
