Mechanical Engineering Internship (Fall 2026)

Spacecraft represent the most pressing unmet need across the entire aerospace industry. As more launch vehicles come online and the cost to orbit decreases, more companies launching payloads to space continue to emerge.

For the first time in history, this influx of payload companies combined with reduced launch costs has resulted in a massive increase in need for commercial spacecraft platforms, known as satellite buses. These buses hold the payloads of our customers and are flown on launch vehicles.

Apex manufactures these satellite buses at scale using a combination of software, vertical integration, and hardware that is designed for manufacturing. Our spacecraft enable the future of society: ranging from earth observation to communications and more.

We’d love for you to join us on our mission of providing humankind access to the galaxy beyond our planet. 

We are seeking talented engineers who are immediately available to work closely with the broader engineering team for an exciting internship opportunity. This person is passionate about engineering, ready to take ownership over complex challenges, and a strong desire to learn about all things satellites.

During the internship program at Apex, you'll gain hands-on experience and professional growth opportunities. You’ll be assigned a project to give you the opportunity to have real impact. Throughout the project you'll have a dedicated mentor to guide you, while participating in learning sessions to elevate your knowledge of aerospace. Plus, you'll connect with peers and industry professionals during our community events, making this a well-rounded experience to launch your career!

Mechanical Engineering: ME Interns will contribute to the development of Comet XL and Comet Mini deployable structures. The intern will need extensive experience withCAD (NX), prior hands-on experience building any type of hardware especially electromechanical systems and soft goods.

Graduating in the Spring or Fall of 2027.
