About the Company
Established in 2017, Infinite Orbits is a NewSpace company, based in Toulouse, pushing the boundaries of in-orbit services with cutting-edge spacecraft driven by its own Rendez-Vous solution, an advanced Autonomous Vision-Based Navigation Solution. IO has two generations of missions
"Orbit Guard" provides Inspection and Space Situational Awareness services in GEO. Our first, OG-1 was launched on 1 May 2023, the second is launching in 2025 and the third third launching in 2026.
"Endurance" is a docking service capable of extending the life of GEO telecom satellites, by taking over AOCS takeover for 5 years.
About the Role
We are looking for a 3D Design Intern to join our team for a 6-month internship, either in our Barcelona office or the Toulouse headquarter.
You will create photorealistic 3D satellite assets from CAD designs and reference images, to be integrated into our internal space simulation environment.
This internship offers a unique opportunity to:
Develop your skills in realistic 3D modeling and design as well as asset optimization.
Gain hands-on experience with spacecraft visualization and real-world simulation pipelines.
Collaborate directly with engineers and software developers working at the frontier of in-orbit services.
The role can grow beyond design if you’re interested in simulation/game development, you’ll have the chance to explore simulation and interactive visualization tools, potentially contributing to the evolution of our internal simulation platform.
Job Description
Create and optimize meshes, textures, materials, and shaders for realistic rendering.
Assist in the design and development of our internal visualization and simulation tools.
Collaborate closely with software engineers and mission designers to ensure accuracy and performance.
Support the continuous improvement of our graphics and visualization pipelines.
