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
