We're a VC-backed, fast-paced team based in Kirkland, WA, made up of engineers who built and scaled Starlink Aviation at SpaceX. We design, build, test, and fly our own hardware in our own aircraft.
Everyone on the team has significant ownership over product areas or problem spaces. The Role You'll be hands-on with the software team as the M100 goes from first production units through qualification, certification, and aircraft installation.
You'll work directly with senior engineers who will give you real ownership and expect real results. By the end of your internship, you should expect that software you worked on will be test flown and used on commercial aircraft.
