• Proficiency in Python and/or C++, with understanding of kinematics and control theory.
• Familiarity with embedded systems, microcontrollers, and electrical bring-up.
• Strong hardware–software debugging and iterative testing skills.

4. Physics / Space Resource Systems

For candidates with deep interest in planetary resources, energy systems, and applied physics.

What You'll Work On

• Modeling thermochemical processes, regolith behavior, and environmental interactions.
• Conducting experimental analysis, sensor testing, and data reduction for space-relevant materials.
• Assisting in simulation and modeling for ISRU processes, extreme-environment thermodynamics, and physical system performance.

Resume Criteria

• Academic background in physics, planetary science, geophysics, materials, or space resources.
• Experience with numerical modeling, simulations, or laboratory analysis.
• Familiarity with regolith mechanics, thermal systems, or environmental simulation equipment.
• Previous research experience in space systems or applied physics preferred.

5. Public Policy / Finance

For candidates supporting mission strategy, funding, regulation, and financial modeling.

What You'll Work On

• Developing content for government funding proposals (NASA, CSA, ESA, DOE, NSERC, etc.).
• Preparing whitepapers, policy briefs, and economic analyses related to aerospace and ISRU.
• Supporting financial modeling, cost projections, and partner engagement materials.

Resume Criteria

• Background in public policy, government relations, international affairs, finance, accounting, law, economics, commerce, business administration, or regulatory studies.
• Experience writing policy briefs, research papers, or technical reports.
• Understanding of federal grant mechanisms and emerging space regulatory frameworks.
• Strong proficiency in financial modeling, Excel/Sheets, cost analysis, and reporting.
• Experience supporting tech, engineering, or innovation-focused organizations is an asset.

6. Graphic Design

For creatives who can translate complex engineering into compelling visuals.

What You'll Work On

• Creating technical graphics, illustrations, and renders for private and public-facing material.
• Designing visuals for grant submissions, media, presentations, and educational assets.
• Collaborating with engineers to visualize 3D printing systems, robotics, and space infrastructure.

Resume Criteria

• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, Blender, or CAD-based rendering tools.
• Ability to simplify complex ideas into clean, technically accurate visual material.
• Prior experience creating graphics for engineering, aerospace, or scientific content is preferred.

Why Join Space Copy?

• Work directly with scientists, engineers, and designers building technologies for lunar infrastructure.
• Gain hands-on experience with ISRU, robotics, advanced manufacturing, and experimental hardware.
• Contribute to real missions, real systems, and real research.
