Aerospace Summer Internship: Build & Validate Space Propulsion

New Zealand Aerospace Summer Internships — Nov 2026 to Feb 2027

Spend your summer doing something extraordinary.

We’re offering a limited number of hands‑on summer internship placements across our cutting‑edge in‑space propulsion and spaceplane programmes at our Christchurch office.

What you’ll do

If selected, you’ll be entrusted with real engineering challenges—either taking a project from concept through to completion, or contributing to critical parts of larger systems.

• Researching, designing, building, testing, and validating systems or subsystems that matter
• Working closely with senior engineers and mentors
• Using real tools, real test facilities, and delivering real outcomes

Past intern projects include

• Designing and testing reaction control engines
• Building support and test infrastructure
• Simulating spaceplane and satellite flight trajectories
