GITAI is a vertically integrated space and defense company building the next generation of hardware for low-Earth-orbit missions.
At our core is the space robotics technology that has defined GITAI from the beginning. A small, highly capable engineering team applies that foundation across satellite buses, in-orbit servicing robotics, and mission hardware for applications such as Earth observation. Today, a major focus of our work is supporting U.S. national security missions, particularly through proliferated LEO satellite constellations and other next-generation space systems.
We design, build, integrate, and test much of our hardware in-house. Electrical, mechanical, software, manufacturing, integration, and test teams work closely together, allowing a small team to own complete systems rather than isolated components.
What you'd do
- Review engineering resumes, portfolios, CAD, PCB work, hardware photos, and test results, and decide who is worth advancing.
- Understand what a candidate actually designed, built, tested, and owned.
- Assess technical depth, ownership, motivation, and likely fit for GITAI.
- Source strong engineering talent and manage candidates through the recruiting process.
- Work closely with GITAI engineers, learn from hiring outcomes, and sharpen your own judgment over time.
- Location: Torrance, California
- Position Type: Internship, hourly, non-exempt
- This is an onsite role based at GITAI’s Torrance office. Remote or hybrid work is not available.

- Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the U.S. This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
What they want
- Currently in the final year of, or graduated from, a Bachelor's degree program in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Strong technical foundation and genuine interest in hardware engineering.
- Good instincts about people. You can tell who understands their work, who took real ownership, and who may be better or worse than they first appear.
- High ownership, speed, and willingness to learn by doing.
- Strong communication skills and comfort talking with engineers and candidates.
- Interest in using your engineering background to build a career in technical recruiting.
