Are you ready to push the boundaries of what’s possible in orbit? Join the New Force in New Space. LEOspace is a dynamic start-up specializing in advanced drive technologies for space applications. We focus on developing cybertronic actuators and precision motion systems, engineered to perform reliably under the extreme conditions of space. In partnership with the global high-tech leader WITTENSTEIN, our mission is to accelerate the industrialization of space by bringing scalable, reliable, and high-performance motion systems into orbit. We stand at the intersection of German engineering excellence and model-based value creation — applying rigorous, certified processes from simulation and design to testing and serial manufacturing.

If you’re passionate about space and ready to help build an innovative startup from the ground up, apply now and join our ambitious team on a mission to transform the space industry – from one-off manufacturing to scalable, industrial production.

Job description / Your role:

Depending on your background and study focus, you will:

• Support the design, analysis, and testing of mechatronic systems and actuators for space applications
• Contribute to simulation, modeling, and system analysis (mechanical, thermal, or electrical)
• Assist in requirements engineering and system architecture definition
• Develop or extend analysis and test tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or CAD environments)
• Participate in prototype assembly, laboratory testing, and validation
• Prepare and document your results in the context of an internship or thesis project
