At ClearSpace, we believe in reusability, in affordability driving disruption, and that no progress is real unless it is sustainable.

Our company was founded in 2018 out of the realization that in-orbit servicing and space debris removal are vital services for the future of space exploration and operations. Today ClearSpace has assembled an expert engineering team and is leading the way toward sustainable space operations. From a garage in Switzerland, we now operate across UK and Europe, and are working with world-leading institutions and companies to bring our dream of a sustainable space ecosystem to life.

Role Purpose/Summary

We are looking for an Electronics Engineering Intern, for 6 months, to join our London office.

The purpose of this internship is to support our electronics and test teams working on multiple missions within ClearSpace. The focus will be to design and refine internally-developed PCBAs used both within our spacecraft and on our test benches.

There will also be opportunities to support the electrical system development more widely across our current portfolio.

At all times you will be supported by our electrical systems team, which includes experienced designers and recent graduates.

Role Responsibilities

The intern will support the detailed design and test of PCBAs:

• Assess and understand internal PCB needs and required functionality, together with existing developments
• Generate specifications
• Design the PCB schematics and layout, including verifying the design via simulation.
• Organising schematic and layout reviews
• Organise manufacturing of the board and carry out the assembly
• Test the completed board
• Write report detailing the design and test results.

Throughout the process, you will be supported by designers experienced in developing spacecraft equipment.

Other opportunities to support the wider electrical systems will be available.

Education and/or Work Experience Requirements

• Currently pursuing or recently finished a master’s degree with electronics engineering focus.
• Experience with electronics simulation (e.g. LTSpice), electronics prototyping, and reading electronics schematics and datasheets
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary engineering team
• Enthusiasm for hands-on engineering and spacecraft design

Desired Skills and Experience

• Detailed understanding of electronics analysis, design, build, and test
• Hands-on electronics design and test experience
• Good communication skills and ability
• Working with FPGAs
• Prototyping electronics assembly (includiung soldering and harness manufacture)
• Familiarity with test equipment - DVMs, oscilloscopes, electronic loads, logic analysers

Ideal Start Date

Summer/Autumn 2026
