Ursa Major was founded to address a critical shortfall in the U.S. industrial base and bring a new model to aerospace and defense systems: we design and manufacture the world’s leading propulsion systems for space, hypersonic applications, and missile systems.
Our products and technologies require an extraordinary team – a team that will mold tomorrow’s technologies while deploying today’s best. We are an intrinsically motivated team that has a passion for solving problems and empowering each other every day to develop our skills, knowing that there is always room for growth.
Ursa Major is currently seeking talented individuals for our Summer 2025 Platform Engineering Internship. This team builds and supports cloud infrastructure, kubernetes clusters, and installs, maintains and integrates software supporting the teams building our engines. We’re looking for interns willing to try their hands at integrating disparate software systems, and who have interest in learning how production software infrastructure is built and maintained. We work by identifying needs, writing up tasks that provide guidance and then giving engineers ownership to independently implement a solution; senior engineers are here to give help and support if you ask for it.
Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure both have a large surface area to learn, but don’t be intimidated! We may have opportunity for building and deploying software into these environments, then to manage and understand the footprint of the software in a production kubernetes or Azure environment, for example, and you’ll have a robust gitops workflow you can follow to succeed at these sorts of tasks.
Colorado law requires us to tell you the base compensation range of this role, which is $29.00/hour, determined by your education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities. The salary range for this role is intentionally wide as we are evaluating individuals based on their unique experience and abilities to fit our needs. Most importantly, we are excited to meet you, and see if you are a great fit for our team. What we can’t quantify for you are the exciting challenges, supportive team, and amazing culture we enjoy.
