GSE Engineering Intern

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it. OUR MISSION True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground. OUR VALUES Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity. What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results. It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together. QUALIFICATIONS Currently enrolled in Electrical, Controls, Computer, Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, or comparable disciplines at a four-year accredited university. Coursework or project experience in circuit design, test systems, or electronics (laboratory, academic, and personal/team project experience is applicable). Must be able to work full time (40 hours per week), on-site in Centennial, CO or Long Beach, CA until December 2026. Fall Intern Program will run September – December 2026 Must be able to provide own transportation. PREFERRED REQUIREMENTS: Have completed their Junior and/or Senior year GPA of 3.5 or above Familiarity with CAD tools (SolidWorks, Altium) or programming languages (Python, C++, LabVIEW) Understanding of common communication protocols (Ethernet, Serial, CAN) Passionate about advancing space security and sustainability.
