Structural Engineering Intern

Structural Engineering Intern
Location: Atlanta, GA (In-Person)
Duration: 4 Months
Team: Engineering | Mission: ENOS

About the Role
Reditus Space is seeking a Structural Engineering Intern to support the design, analysis, and integration of structural subsystems for the ENOS mission — a reusable reentry vehicle enabling microgravity experimentation and in-space manufacturing. As part of our engineering team, you’ll work on flight-critical structures from preliminary design through integration and test, helping to ensure that the vehicle can survive launch, spaceflight, and reentry environments.

Responsibilities

• Assist with structural design of primary and secondary vehicle components using CAD tools
• Perform static, dynamic, and thermal stress analyses using FEA software under guidance from senior engineers
• Support manufacturing, assembly, and test operations related to structural elements
• Review and update engineering drawings, materials lists, and interface definitions
• Participate in structural test planning, execution, and data analysis

Qualifications

• Senior undergraduate or graduate student in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline
• Experience with CAD (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo) and FEA tools (e.g., ANSYS, NASTRAN)
• Familiarity with composite materials, fasteners, and aerospace structural design principles
• Strong understanding of load paths, safety factors, and failure modes in aerospace applications
• Ability to collaborate in a fast-paced, hardware-focused team environment

Why Reditus Space?
This internship offers the opportunity to work on real structural hardware for spaceflight and reentry. You’ll gain deep, practical experience with space vehicle development, and top-performing interns will be considered for full-time roles after the internship.
