Your Mission
Join us in shaping the future of secure and innovative technologies across space and cybersecurity.
We are looking for a Software Engineering Intern to join our team for a 3 to 6-month internship starting at the beginning of 2027. In this role, you’ll actively support the frontend or backend technologies, while gaining valuable exposure to at least one of the following projects:
- SAFEPLACE: This project supports civil protection and emergency response organisations by providing near real-time, actionable information during crises. The platform integrates a wide range of data sources – including satellite communications (satcoms), Earth observation imagery, IoT devices, and a network of in-situ sensors – to create a comprehensive situational awareness environment.
- Mycelium: This project focuses on a web-based SysML v2 suite of tools for collaborative systems engineering. Based on the heritage of CDP4-COMET, it leverages the new SysML2 standard to elevate model-based systems engineering for aerospace and other industries.
- INT-UQKD (International Use Cases for Operational QKD Applications and Services): The primary objective of the project is to enable quantum-safe communications links for specific use cases in operational IT environments – particularly in regulated sectors that have very strong security requirements.
Tasks and Activities
The scope of activities is flexible and can be oriented toward frontend or backend development, with activities selected from, but not limited to, the following:
- Gaining exposure to backend development and database design through practical experience.
- Contributing to frontend engineering projects with a focus on intuitive, user‑centred UI/UX design.
- Building an understanding of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
- Contributing to software quality and assurance activities, ensuring performance, reliability, and best coding practices.
- Discovering the potential of quantum key distribution and contributing to cutting-edge research in secure communication technologies.
- Collaborating in a diverse team to share ideas and develop technical and professional skills.
What We’re Looking For
Ideally, you will have:
- Enrolled in a University Bachelor’s or Master’s degree programme in a relevant field.
- Fluent in English, both written and spoken.
- Knowledge of C# and PostgreSQL, with bonus points for experience with GIS or mapping technologies.
