Astrolab is The Lunar Operations Company. We design and build the systems and hardware the lunar economy will come to depend on — rovers, power, and data networks for sustained operations on the Moon. We are focused on the problems that must be solved before the next chapter of human exploration can scale. The Moon does not forgive untested assumptions. The people who work here know that, and they wouldn't have it any other way.
We seek motivated, creative, and exceptional individuals to join our world-class team. As an intern, you’ll gain hands-on experience and work alongside talented engineers to support the development of lunar rovers and production processes. This program will provide exposure to advanced manufacturing and testing processes, mentorship from experienced engineers, and opportunities to develop practical skills in troubleshooting, process improvement, and teamwork.
