Summer 2027 Marketing & Communications Internship

Star Catcher • Jacksonville, FL

22h • Onsite

About The Position

Star Catcher is powering the future of space by building the world’s first orbital energy grid: the Star Catcher Network. Spacecraft connect into the Star Catcher Network and receive conditioned energy via their existing solar arrays, requiring no retrofit to utilize the first true space-based infrastructure. The Star Catcher Network provides power as needed from tens of Watts to tens of thousands of Watts at concentrations from fractions of a Sun of flux to ten Suns of flux. Star Catcher Industries, Inc., located in Jacksonville, FL, has opportunities for our Summer 2027 Marketing & Communications Internship Program to support the growth of the Star Catcher brand and the broader mission of building the world's first orbital energy grid. This role will touch nearly every dimension of marketing and communications — from social media and technical writing to press relations and event coordination — offering hands-on experience at one of the most ambitious companies in the new space industry. This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of space infrastructure and strategic communications during a pivotal moment in the company's growth. You'll gain real-world experience across the full marketing and communications function — not busy work.
