Internship - Launch System Simulation & Analysis Engineer

HYPRSPACE

POWERING AEROSPACE FUTURE WITH THE NEXTGEN PROPULSION TECHNOLOGY

At HyPrSpace , our mission is clear: to create next-generation propulsion technology that is affordable and accessible for a wide range of applications, from civil to defense. We are ushering in a new era of aerospace capabilities, making them more efficient, safer, and more sustainable

Your role and missions:

During this internship, you will contribute to the development of simulation and analysis tools supporting system engineering activities for our launch vehicle.

You will be entrusted with the following responsibilities :

• Develop a debris fall-out simulation tool for launch vehicle safety analyses.
• Design and implement simulation and analysis tools for system engineering activities.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams—including mechanical, structural, GNC, and systems engineers—to integrate their inputs.
• Perform analyses and validate models using engineering data.
• Prepare technical reports, documentation, and presentations for internal stakeholders.

Internship Details

• Duration: Minimum 4 months
• Location: Le Haillan, France
