Hardware Engineering Internship
Internship · Full-time
Akilaris was founded on the belief that the orbital economy only works if space stays safe. We build AI-powered space intelligence and collision avoidance that lets satellite operators act in minutes, not days. Joining Akilaris means joining a small, fast team in Bremen, Europe’s City of Space, where your work ships to real operators and directly protects real assets in orbit.
You get one clearly scoped hardware work package, a test rig, a sensor interface board, a characterization campaign, and own it end-to-end with a mentor. You leave with hardware you designed, built and validated.
Responsibilities
- Own one hardware work package from requirements to validated result
- Design schematics/layout or test fixtures as required by your package
- Write firmware/automation scripts to exercise and measure your hardware
- Run structured tests, analyze data and present conclusions to the team
Basic Qualifications
- Studying electrical engineering, mechatronics, aerospace engineering or similar
- Available full-time on-site for 3–6 months
- Foundation in electronics and at least one of C/C++/Python
Preferred Skills and Experience
- Hands-on hardware projects outside coursework
- Basic knowledge of space environment constraints (thermal, vacuum, radiation)
Additional Requirements
- Internship compensated according to German internship regulations
- Based in Bremen for the internship period
What We Offer
- Direct impact: your work ships to production and is used by real satellite operators
- Work side by side with the founders: short paths, fast decisions, real ownership
- Flexible hours built around lectures and exam phases (for student roles)
- Office in Bremen, Europe’s City of Space, in the heart of a dense aerospace ecosystem, with hybrid options
- A high-trust, high-velocity culture: we iterate like a launch company, not a corporation
- Clear growth path: many student roles convert into permanent positions
