Mechanical Engineering Intern

The Opportunity

Orbitworks is a sovereign aerospace and advanced technology company in the UAE. We build and test real satellite systems — and our interns work on projects that matter from day one. This is not a shadowing programme. You will own a defined project, work alongside experienced engineers and business professionals, and present outcomes to leadership.

What You'll Do

Trade-off study and selection of a local honeycomb panel supplier. The project covers compiling panel drawings, identifying manufacturing operations, evaluating potential suppliers against ECSS standards, validating vendor processes through coupon/sample fabrication, performing NDT & DTs on panels, and generating a qualification report.

What You'll Deliver

• Technical report outlining supplier validation results


• Supplier recommendation based on technical, commercial, and programmatic trade-off


• NDT & DT test results and process verification documentation


• Completed vendor qualification package

What You'll Learn

• Aerospace composite and structural materials knowledge


• Engineering drawing interpretation and manufacturing process engineering


• Supplier evaluation, ECSS standards familiarity, and quality assurance


• NDT/DT testing and validation skills


• Technical documentation and V&V reporting
