About the job

Oligo is pioneering a transformative manufacturing-in-the-loop foundation model designed to automate the design and production of spacecraft on a global scale. Our innovative approach empowers clients to concentrate on their own technological advancements and mission goals while we manage everything from design and manufacturing to launch and operational support. Utilizing state-of-the-art AI-driven generative design and automated manufacturing, our accomplished team, featuring alumni from MIT, Harvard, and NASA JPL, is dedicated to producing sophisticated, payload-specific spacecraft in weeks instead of months.
With distinguished advisors and substantial backing from leading investors such as Lux Capital, we are continuously seeking outstanding builders, quick learners, and ambitious engineers. Whether your interests lie in spacecraft systems, avionics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or advanced manufacturing, you will collaborate across various disciplines on genuine missions that launch, perform in orbit, and scale globally.
We integrate elite AI/ML experts with top satellite engineers under one roof to redefine the construction of space systems, starting from foundational principles. Expect a dynamic, bureaucratic-free environment that fosters innovation.
If you believe you are a strong match, we are eager to connect with you.
Mechanical Spacecraft Engineering Intern
As a Mechanical Spacecraft Engineering Intern, you will be responsible for the deliverables related to our spacecraft design and testing. This role will involve bridging mechanical and electrical disciplines, influencing systems-level decisions, and bringing your designs to life through hands-on building.
This position is ideal for students who prefer working in a machine shop over a library, thriving where creativity and accountability intersect, and are eager to tackle complex problems with practical solutions.
Your Responsibilities
In the role of Mechanical Spacecraft Engineering Intern, you will take ownership of specific mechanical sub-assemblies and assist in the integration of spacecraft components. You will receive mentorship from experienced engineers while being encouraged to independently advance your projects. Your key tasks will include:
- Mechanical & Structural Design: Take charge of sub-system designs, contributing to the design of essential structures, mechanisms, enclosures, and mounts.
- CAD & Documentation: Develop detailed 3D models and technical drawings utilizing GD&T principles to ensure manufacturability.
