    The Advanced Concept and Robotics Team department is responsible for early phase studies and projects supporting a range of future planetary and in-space robotic missions from conceptual studies to hardware development. These diverse projects are led by a multi-disciplinary team supported by relevant specialists.

    This internship offers an exciting and unique opportunity to join a team of experienced engineers from various disciplines to design and build spacecraft and robotics systems (including rovers and manipulators, for planetary applications).

    You will have the opportunity to work both at conceptual and system level, as well as supporting more hands-on development and testing of robotic systems.

    What you will be doing

    During this placement, the activities you may undertake will include;

    • Robotics Systems engineering – Analyse mission requirements and support the sizing of robotics systems. Develop a broader experience and understanding of all the domains involved in the development of robotics systems including mechanisms, control, software, etc
    • Support robotic-focussed studies and development activities – Support the technical lead or the project manager to deliver studies and hardware and present results to the customers from concept to implementation. Participate in focused research and development activities.
    • Support hardware development – including planning, procurement, and integration. Perform hands-on activities in the Lab including 3D printing for the Advanced Project group and beyond.
