LUNR Aerospace Corporation, commonly known as LUNR, is a Canadian commercial launch company based in Toronto, Canada. Founded with the mission to advance the future of orbital access from Canada, LUNR is working to develop reliable and efficient orbital launch vehicles (rockets). By combining cutting-edge innovation with Canadian ingenuity, LUNR aims to democratize access to space for commercial, scientific, and governmental missions worldwide.

Role Description

LUNR Aerospace is looking for an intern to support the development of avionics, control systems, and

software used in flight-relevant aerospace systems. This role blends control theory, simulation,

and real software implementation, with an emphasis on modeling vehicle behavior, designing

control laws, and validating system responses to mission trajectories. You’ll work on problems

that sit between theory and implementation. You may be designing controllers, simulating system

behavior, or even building software that reflects how real avionics systems respond in flight.

Role Overview

• Assist in the design and tuning of control systems (PID and related controllers)
• Develop simulations to model vehicle dynamics and avionics responses to trajectories
• Implement and validate control logic in software
• Analyze system stability, transient response, and performance margins
• Support software-in-the-loop (SIL) and simulation-based testing
• Help build tools for visualizing states, control outputs, and system performance
• Assist other departments with day-to-day tasks

Qualifications

• Undergraduate or Graduate students, Eligible to Work in Canada
• Solid foundation in feedback control concepts (PID, stability, response tuning)
• Comfortable writing software to model physical systems
• Experience with Python, C/C++, MATLAB, or similar tools
• Curious, detail-oriented, and comfortable working with complex technical systems
