ABL Space Systems was founded in 2017 by veterans of SpaceX and Morgan Stanley to develop low-cost launch vehicles for the small satellite industry. More importantly, we’re building a launch system we are truly proud of – no gimmicks or over-design, just reliable, rapidly deployable launches. We’re an ambitious team with big goals and, together, we’re determined to prove that reaching space can be simple, efficient, and routine.
When launch day arrives, we want you by our side
ABL’s Interns enjoy problem solving, working in a fast-paced environment, and being an integral part of their team. There is no lack of challenging work and opportunities to learn. Interns at ABL accept being responsible for tasks and are held accountable to other engineers and leadership. If being part of a grounded team and taking on roles in the design, development, qualification, build, and flight of your hardware sounds interesting, ABL is where you need to be.
