Space Cloud Compute Intern: Build Orbiting Clusters & GPUs

pJoin 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. /ppWe 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. /ppYou 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. /ph3Your Responsibilities /h3h31. Cloud Distributed Systems for Space Servers /h3pHelp integrate k3s, OpenStack, and container orchestration frameworks into our space server prototypes. /ppFocus areas: /ppDesigning cloud-like customer interactions for orbital compute /ppOvercoming constraints such as latency, disruption, and limited bandwidth /ppBuild the user-facing tools that support our full operational pipeline: customer dashboards, backend services, interface with ground-station APIs, and satellite control interfaces. /ph33. Heterogeneous Compute Hardware Acceleration (GPU / FPGA) /h3pWork on integrating GPUs and FPGAs into our space compute clusters and exploring how to expose these accelerators safely and efficiently to cloud customers. /ppTopics may include: /ppDesigning on-demand GPU/FPGA allocation mechanisms /ppUnderstanding accelerator scheduling in cloud environments /ppHigh-level exploration of secure FPGA workflows, virtualization layers (KVM / Xen), and safe configuration flows /ppStudying how to provide accelerator-as-a-service while maintaining isolation and reliability /ppRelevant 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.) /ph34. Firmware Embedded Systems /h3pWork on firmware for our space electronics, assist with PCB bring-up, and ensure the robustness of our on-orbit hardware. /ppRelevant skills: embedded C/C++, microcontrollers, electronics debugging. /ppDevelop 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). /ph3Ready to apply? /h3pJoin our team and help build the intelligence infrastructure in space. /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
