Project Management Summer Internship

Advanced Space | 2027 Summer Internship | Onsite

At Advanced Space, we're enabling humanity's return to the Moon and building the technologies that will take us to Mars and beyond. We're looking for
2027 Project Management Summer Interns to join our Project Management team and gain hands-on experience supporting the execution of complex aerospace and space-related projects.

As a Project Management Intern, you'll work alongside experienced technical staff who will provide mentorship and guidance throughout your internship. You'll contribute to projects involving schedule development and maintenance, project cost and budget tracking, technical risk management, project planning, and cross-functional coordination while learning how project management practices support real aerospace missions.

This internship is ideal for students interested in aerospace project execution, program management, technical project planning, risk management, and working at the intersection of engineering and business. You'll have the opportunity to apply your technical and organizational skills while gaining experience supporting projects from early development through execution.

Advanced Space exists to enable the sustainable exploration, development, and settlement of space through innovative software, mission services, and technology solutions. As the owner and operator of NASA's CAPSTONE™ mission and the Prime Contractor for AFRL's Oracle mission, we're helping shape the future of cislunar exploration while supporting commercial, civil, and national security customers.

Our team combines deep technical expertise with an entrepreneurial mindset. We move quickly, collaborate across disciplines, and empower every engineer to make meaningful contributions. If you're passionate about solving challenging problems and seeing your work fly in space, you'll fit right in.
