About us: Capsule Corporation is developing WaterCube and WaterCube+, modular water-based propulsion systems for CubeSats and SmallSats. Backed by ESA BIC, CDP Venture Capital and Takeoff Accelerator, we are preparing our first in-orbit demonstration in 2026 while expanding our product line and service offering in the New Space domain.
We are growing fast, and we are looking for a motivated Founders Assistant Intern to support the daily operations of the company and work closely with the founders on strategic and operational tasks. This is an opportunity to experience firsthand the reality of a SpaceTech startup, understand how decisions are made, and contribute across multiple domains.
Our team is after individuals with first-principles understanding of aerospace systems and deep motivation to disrupt the space industry. This role, however, does not necessarily require you to have previous experience in the aerospace industry: if you want to contribute to scalable, sustainable space transportation, we want to hear from you
