Demonstrated hands-on experience building, instrumenting, or testing hardware through internships, research labs, engineering teams (e.g., Formula SAE, rocketry, robotics), or similar projects. Working closely with experienced engineers with flight heritage, you’ll gain exposure to the full development cycle—from prototype builds and additive manufacturing to lab testing and system validation.

IRPI develops advanced fluid, thermal, and life-support systems that make human space exploration possible. Partnering with NASA and commercial spaceflight leaders, we design, build, and test critical flight hardware tailored for microgravity and partial-gravity environments.As a lean, high-performance team, we bridge the gap between first-principles research and operational spaceflight. Our engineers own the full project lifecycle—from early concept and laboratory prototyping to delivering validated hardware. Whether tackling propellant management, air revitalization, thermal control, or waste processing, we combine rigorous analysis with hands-on engineering to solve complex multidisciplinary problems and expand the boundaries of human presence in space.<h3>Your Mission</h3>We are looking for someone early in their career who already has hands-on experience building, instrumenting, or testing hardware through internships, research labs, student engineering teams, or prior work.
