Build space systems with Hamburg Space Team. We are open to students and space enthusiasts who want to learn by contributing to real engineering projects.

Technical

Engineering roles

Work on structures, propulsion, electronics, software, simulation, manufacturing, testing, operations and documentation.

Organisational

Business roles

Help with event planning, team coordination, media, partner communication, outreach, or funding.

Learning

No perfect CV needed

The important part is consistency: show up, ask questions, document your work, and learn with others.
