Who We Are
GITAI is a vertically integrated space and defense company building the next generation of hardware for low-Earth-orbit missions.
At our core is the space robotics technology that has defined GITAI from the beginning. A small, highly capable engineering team applies that foundation across satellite buses, in-orbit servicing robotics, and mission hardware for applications such as Earth observation. Today, a major focus of our work is supporting U.S. national security missions, particularly through proliferated LEO satellite constellations and other next-generation space systems.
We design, build, integrate, and test much of our hardware in-house. Electrical, mechanical, software, manufacturing, integration, and test teams work closely together, allowing a small team to own complete systems rather than isolated components. This vertical integration helps us move quickly, learn directly from hardware, and shorten the path from architecture to a working system.
We are still early. The systems, the company, and the market are all being built at the same time. Requirements change, technical problems are often ambiguous, and many answers do not yet exist. We are looking for exceptional engineers and operators who want broad ownership, can work across disciplines, and are willing to stay close to the hardware until the mission succeeds.
Your Mission
As a Field-Deployed Software Engineering Intern, you will support the development, integration, and testing of GITAI’s robotic and space systems. A major part of this role happens on real hardware. You will regularly deploy to our outdoor test site to support data acquisition, system bring-up, troubleshooting, and test execution. You will also contribute to software development in at least one technical area such as robotics, computer vision, or guidance, navigation, and control (GNC). You should be comfortable moving between code, sensors, computers, networks, actuators, and test equipment to understand why a system is or is not working.
