Internship - Embedded Systems and Avionics of spacecraft

INTERNSHIP - EMBEDDED SYSTEMS AND AVIONICS OF SPACECRAFT

Toulouse, France

September 2025

6 months (flexible)

Working with us

You will join a collaborative, international crew where humility and respect guide how we rise to the challenge. To you, we guarantee ownership, honest feedback and pluri-disciplinarity. Autonomy isn’t just encouraged, it’s expected. Consistently with this approach, we are seeking collaborators who are open to continue with a permanent position. if you’re a doer who thrives on challenges, you’ll fit right in.

Your missions

You will join a fast evolving project and engage in all development activities from preliminary design to testing your prototypes. You will take a key position as Embedded Systems Engineer, with the responsibility of developing the physical and software architecture of the on-board control unit. Your missions will include:

Develop and test embedded software for real-time control and telemetry of space-grade systems, mainly a propulsion control unit and control of the main electric motor and power.
Contribute to hardware-software co-design, including schematics review, FPGA/MCU integration, and avionics layout.
Work on low-level firmware, communication protocols, and sensor/actuator interfacing as well as interfaces with client spacecraft.
Prototype and validate avionics architectures under representative conditions (thermal, vibration, EMC, outgassing requirements, etc.).
Define HIL/SIL testbenches and spacecraft simulators, support system integration and debugging.
Document and trace design, progressively consolidating internal quality procedures and ECSS standards.

Your profile

Enrolled in the last year of master’s degree or engineering school, you have a passion for space technologies.
You demonstrate a high academic level and knowledge of industry-specific technologies and protocols and you wish to apply your skills in hands-on real world problems.
You have practical experience with the engineering methods mentioned, and you wish to shape the next generation of space transportation.
You possess a professional level of English. Knowledge of the local language will be recognised.
