Help us fly the first orbital high-throughput service.

Exobiosphere is looking for a meticulous Payload Systems Engineering Intern to support the Orbital High-Throughput System (OHTS). You will work on systems engineering documentation, requirements traceability, verification evidence, materials compliance and interface documentation.

The role is not only desk-based: you will take part in hands-on hardware testing and scientific work with biological samples during microgravity payload preparation.

What you will do.

Requirements & verification

  • Maintain traceability between customer and internal requirement sets
  • Draft and format verification documentation and track closure across subsystems
  • Support materials and safety compliance, including hazard assessments and safety data packages

Hardware & science testing

  • Support payload characterisation testing
  • Assist the science and AIT teams during integrated testing with live biological samples

Collaboration & programme support

  • Prepare materials and track action items for internal technical reviews
  • Help improve our systems engineering templates and practices

What you bring.

  • Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in aerospace, systems engineering or a related technical field
  • Strong technical writing in English, with precision and consistency
  • Comfortable interpreting technical standards, specifications and requirement sets
  • Discipline to keep large document sets consistent
  • Ability to work independently and raise problems early
  • Willingness to work hands-on in laboratory and hardware integration environments

Bonus points.

  • Experience with requirements management, verification and validation, or configuration management
  • Laboratory experience with cell culture, organoids or aseptic technique
  • Hands-on hardware testing, integration or test procedure experience
