Sierra Space Internship Program

"In my short time here at Sierra Space, I have been able to learn so much from individuals both within and outside of my department. The welcoming workplace environment and general emphasis on collaboration has allowed me to network with people across the company, develop professional skills that will serve me throughout my career, and meaningfully contribute to the company. Ultimately, this has been an extremely positive and well-rounded work experience."

"These past 12 months at Sierra Space have been an amazing experience. Not only did I learn how to apply my classroom skills to the industry, but I got to work on real-world projects that gave me pride in what I did. I was also surrounded by an amazing boss, mentors, and co-workers."

"My time interning at Sierra Space has introduced me to so many amazing individuals and experiences, giving me invaluable insight into the aerospace industry. It has been truly rewarding getting to contribute to Dream Chaser as a part of the test engineering group, and I am looking forward to what the rest of this summer has to offer. "

"During my internship with the Space Destinations safety group, I worked on developing the space station payload safety review process. Having responsibility over a project suited to my experience and interests has enabled me to cultivate and apply relevant engineering skills like creative problem solving and cross-company communication. Additionally, I am grateful for being part of a community so passionate about the industry with invaluable mentorship from my team and a strong sense of support from the rest of the intern cohort."

"As a Sierra Space intern, I have been pleasantly surprised by the hands-on nature of my job, working directly on hardware destined for space. This experience has solidified my interest in test engineering roles and reaffirmed my dedication to pursuing a career in this field. I am immensely grateful to the exceptional North Carolina team, whose kindness, expertise, and willingness to teach have played a pivotal role in shaping my professional journey so far."

"This isn't your average internship, and the work that we do here is challenging, but you are surrounded by so many extremely driven, positive, and passionate individuals who motivate you to achieve the unthinkable every day. I am immensely grateful for all of the people I have been given a chance to work with, and I look forward to the day when I can look up at the Orbital Reef Space Station and say that I played a role in such an exciting and pivotal part of history."
