Full-time, Internship
Posted 27 days ago
Golden, CO | Full-Time | 12-15 Weeks | Spring 2027
Today, everything we send to space is constrained by what fits inside a rocket fairing. That's a fundamental bottleneck to building more capable spacecraft. Rendezvous Robotics is solving this problem with electromagnetic self-assembling tiles: modular spacecraft components that rendezvous, dock, and latch to assemble bigger and more powerful spacecraft than anything that can be folded to fit into a rocket.
We're a small team based in Golden, Colorado, executing on a clear path from flight demonstration to our first operational systems. Our work spans hardware, software, and systems engineering. We are looking for the best people in the world who want to build the next generation of advanced spacecraft.
As a GNC Intern, you will work on the dynamics and control of a reconfigurable spacecraft assembled from electromagnetically docked tiles. The physics cannot be borrowed wholesale from traditional spacecraft attitude control: docking dynamics are highly nonlinear, and the assembled vehicle's inertia and center of mass change as tiles dock and reconfigure. You will contribute to physics models, control and estimation algorithms, and the simulations that verify them — working alongside the GNC team and seeing your work run against hardware testbeds and eventually on-orbit
Responsibilities
Develop physics models of electromagnetic docking dynamics
Support development of control algorithms for rendezvous, proximity operations, and docking
Work on attitude determination and control for individual tiles and the assembled spacecraft
Support trade studies and evaluation of the tile sensor suite
Build simulation tools and dashboards to verify GNC algorithms before hardware testing
Basic Qualifications
Currently pursuing a degree in aerospace/mechanical/electrical engineering, physics, mathematics, or other relevant engineering discipline, with coursework in dynamics and controls
Working knowledge of Python, C++, or MATLAB/Simulink for simulation and analysis
Understanding of rigid-body dynamics and basic electromagnetics
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with spacecraft attitude determination and control, including at the coursework or CubeSat-team level
Background in electromagnetic systems
Familiarity with orbital mechanics and reference frames
Experience with formation flying, swarm robotics, or multi-body reconfigurable systems
Familiarity with version control systems like Git
Passionate about solving hard problems, building things, and advancing the space industry
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
