Software Internships (All Disciplines)

Lausanne, SwitzerlandInternshipSoftware Engineering

Join us in building the next generation of space-based cloud servers and redefining how computing is performed in orbit. Our mission is to democratize access to space by providing developers and customers with cloud-like services running directly on satellites.

We are now preparing our next mission for 2027 and are looking for motivated interns who want to work with cutting-edge technologies and contribute to highly reliable systems operating in harsh, constrained environments.

You do not need prior space experience - only curiosity, technical depth, and the drive to solve hard problems. Simply apply, and during interviews we will work together to identify the best-matching project track based on your skills and interests.

Your Responsibilities

1. Cloud & Distributed Systems for Space Servers

Help integrate k3s, OpenStack, and container orchestration frameworks into our space server prototypes.

Focus areas:

Designing cloud-like customer interactions for orbital compute

Overcoming constraints such as latency, disruption, and limited bandwidth

Relevant skills: Linux, containers, Kubernetes/k3s, distributed systems, infrastructure-as-code.

2. Full-Stack & Dashboard Development

Build the user-facing tools that support our full operational pipeline: customer dashboards, backend services, interface with ground-station APIs, and satellite control interfaces.

Relevant skills: modern web development (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.), backend (Python, Go, Node), API design, DevOps fundamentals.

3. Heterogeneous Compute & Hardware Acceleration (GPU / FPGA)

Work on integrating GPUs and FPGAs into our space compute clusters and exploring how to expose these accelerators safely and efficiently to cloud customers.

Topics may include:

Designing on-demand GPU/FPGA allocation mechanisms

Understanding accelerator scheduling in cloud environments

High-level exploration of secure FPGA workflows, virtualization layers (KVM / Xen), and safe configuration flows

Studying how to provide accelerator-as-a-service while maintaining isolation and reliability

Relevant skills: systems programming, interest in GPU/FPGA acceleration, cloud resource orchestration, virtualization basics. (No deep hardware knowledge required—an interest in heterogeneous compute is enough.)

4. Firmware & Embedded Systems

Work on firmware for our space electronics, assist with PCB bring-up, and ensure the robustness of our on-orbit hardware.

Relevant skills: embedded C/C++, microcontrollers, electronics debugging.

5. Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation

Develop simulation and testing environments to feed artificial or synthetic data into our pipelines for validation, stress testing, and customer testing services. This may include interacting with orbital simulation tools (e.g., STK).

Relevant skills: Python, simulation workflows, CI/CD, system integration.
