At Spaceium, we are building spacecraft systems designed to push the boundaries of what’s possible in orbit. As an Electrical Intern, you will work alongside our electrical engineering team on real spacecraft hardware. This is a hands‑on role where you will contribute directly to the design, testing, and integration of electrical and electronic systems for our missions.

Responsibilities
Support schematic capture and PCB layout for spacecraft avionics
Assist with harness design, wiring, and integration
Help bring up, test, and debug electronic boards and subsystems
Support electrical testing including power, signal integrity, and functional tests
Contribute to documentation, test reports, and design reviews
Assist with lab setup, instrumentation, and test equipment
Collaborate with mechanical, software, and systems engineers

Basic Qualifications
Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
Familiarity with basic electronics, circuit analysis, and lab instrumentation
Exposure to at least one programming language (Python, C, or C++)
Eagerness to learn and work in a fast‑paced startup environment

What We’re Looking For





We’re building technology that hasn’t been done before. Experience is helpful, but curiosity, drive, and the ability to learn quickly matter more. If you’re excited about spacecraft, enjoy solving hard engineering problems, and want to help build something recent, we encourage you to apply.

Preferred Skills
Creative problem solver with solid first-principles thinking, capable of assessing risk and making decisions with limited data.
Experience in a nimble, technical engineering role, with a scrappy, entrepreneurial approach to meeting tight time or budget constraints.
Hands‑on experience with personal or academic electronics projects
Familiarity with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (Altium, KiCad, or similar)
Experience with microcontrollers, sensors, or embedded systems
Comfort with oscilloscopes, multimeters, and lab test equipment
Solid written and verbal communication skills

Additional Requirements
Extended hours and weekend work may be required to support critical project and mission milestones.
This role requires a physical presence at the Ottawa facility.

Please submit any exciting project that you have worked on.
