About Exploration Technology Group

We design, build, and deliver practical, reliable solutions to empower the next generation of warfighters and explorers to meet the demands of their missions. Exploration Technology Group was founded in 2024 and is a team of techno-optimists, motivated by the challenge of solving tough engineering problems, committed to creating sustainable change, and driven by a curiosity to explore and understand both our world and the universe. For decades, the tools and technologies developed for spaceflight, defense, and exploration have not only helped us expand our understanding of the universe but have also supported human advancement here on Earth. We carry this legacy forward, knowing that innovation in these areas can lead to solutions that help people everywhere.

At ETG we are actively developing cutting edge exploration and defense missions. If you join the team, you will have the opportunity to work on hardware and software for US Department of Defense missions, NASA programs, and much more.

Who You Are

• Someone who enjoys building technical projects—show us the coolest things you’ve made!
• Experience working with chemical engineering, electrochemistry, process engineering, propulsion, or related fields.
• Currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree program in a technical field.
• Able to work in person in San Francisco, California during Fall 2025.
• Able to adapt to the dynamic environment of a startup to build amazing technology quickly with limited resources.

What You Will Do
ETG is developing a new rocket propellant production system that will produce propellant from resources available on the Moon. We are in the process of creating a laboratory-scale prototype which will be demonstrated to NASA. As an intern, you will have ownership over this project, working closely with other engineers to design, build, and test the prototype. You might source components, assemble hardware, run chemistry experiments, and design new processes. You will work directly with NASA personnel and engineers with experience building spaceflight hardware.
