Who can apply?
- Technical and nontechnical internship candidates must be currently enrolled at an accredited four-year university; some software and business roles also accept graduate enrollment.
- Interns must be available full time for at least 12 weeks, and individual openings add degree, project, location, and term requirements.
- US space-technology export regulations restrict eligibility, and SpaceX says it cannot sponsor students in F-1 visa status for these opportunities.
SpaceX says its intern population is predominantly upperclassmen and graduate students, but that is a candidate profile—not a published minimum class-year rule.
Dates, pay & program timing
SpaceX lists spring, summer, and fall internship seasons and says recruiting for a posted position can continue over roughly six months. Official Summer 2027 engineering and business-operations listings were available at review; site and discipline availability varies.
