Internship/Working Student

At LSS we are always interested in supporting the next generation of engineers and scientists, especially those with an interest in the space sectors. We are interested to hear from students of all levels, from pre-university to final year university students.

Responsibilities

The types of projects we work on at LSS are all focused in designing, building and testing the most advanced reflector/antenna technologies for the space market. Our products are unique in the sense that they are extremely lightweight but also very large. Size is important in space antenna technologies because the more reflecting surface area we can create, the more data we can send and receive to and from space.

As with any engineering company the range of responsibilities and tasks are vast and varied, therefore we are open to provide internships within a whole host of different departments that all focus on their own unique areas within the business.
