ApplyAbout Ephemeris Net
We are extending the internet to space.
Ephemeris Net is a pre-seed space networking company on a mission to provide space connectivity for all through collaborative engineering of commercial space networking solutions. We are creating the infrastructure that will enable the space internet beyond bent pipe—starting with foundational networking infrastructure that will define how data moves through space.
We are supported by our parent incubator SOE, preparing to launch our first payload that will demonstrate a space-based router in Q1 2027. While our work will be incremental, we believe that now is the chance to build foundational infrastructure for how the internet will work in space within the next 5 years.
The role
We are looking for engineering interns to work directly on our two core products: optical terminals for space-based laser communications and the networking service that connects satellites into a space network.
By the end of this internship, you will have worked on something that either goes to space (if working on hardware or embedded firmware/software) or pushes forward the technical capability of our internal network and node simulation.
Your specific project will depend on your background and where Ephemeris Net's needs are sharpest when you start. We will match you to a project that is both meaningful to the company and a strong learning opportunity for you.
