Millennium Space Systems, a part of Boeing Defense, Space and Security (BDS), is a fast, agile small satellite company focused on national security space. Our missions have direct impact to global security, like missile warning and Earth observation.
Our team is curious, bold and innovative. We take risks, innovate and explore new techniques and technologies. We influence change because we challenge the status quo. And when we watch our satellites launch, we know each one of us made it happen.
Mission Assurance is where technical truth meets mission success. Our team dives into the hardest problems, exposes hidden risk, and drives programs across the finish line with rigor and speed. We challenge assumptions, demand clarity, and raise the bar on engineering execution across the company.
As an intern with the Mission Assurance team at Millennium Space Systems, you’ll work alongside experienced engineers on real spacecraft challenges. You’ll help evaluate technical decisions, support risk reduction efforts, contribute to root cause investigations, and build confidence in the satellites we deliver. This internship is structured to flex across priority areas based on applicant strengths; selected interns will be placed into one of several focus tracks with the opportunity to collaborate across functions supporting mission success and contractual execution. You can expect meaningful responsibility, strong mentorship, and rapid development. This role will develop your systems thinking, technical judgment, and communication skills while contributing directly to the success of full-cycle flight programs.
