We're looking for a motivated Propulsion Intern to support our engineering efforts on cutting-edge propulsion systems. This role is ideal for someone with hands-on experience acquired for example in a student technical team (e. g. , Team Studenteschi, rocketry, etc. ) and programming skills.
Whether you're currently completing a Master's degree or recently graduated, if you're passionate about space propulsion and ready to work hands-on with cutting-edge propulsion technology, we want to hear from you.


Responsibilities
· Contribute to the research and development of propulsion systems.
· Assist on system-level integration, including fluid flow, thermal management, and structural interfaces.
· Assist with data acquisition, test stand setup, and analysis of experimental results.
· Write tools/scripts to automate design or analysis tasks ( Python, MATLAB, C++, etc. ).
· Help document engineering work clearly and thoroughly.



Requirements
· Master's degree (completed or in progress) in Aerospace, Mechanical, or related field.
· Proven hands-on experience in a student engineering team related to propulsion or vehicle systems.
· Strong grasp of propulsion fundamentals (fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, combustion).

· Programming familiarity ( Python preferred; MATLAB/C++ is a bonus).

· Familiarity with CAD tools ( Solid Works, Fusion 360) and engineering analysis software.

· Basic understanding of piping and instrumentation diagram.



Nice to have
