Full Job Description
About Lodestar Lodestar's mission is to develop the first "Protect and Defend" capability for high-value space assets in orbit. Our flagship product, MITHRIL, is our hardware-agnostic, AI-enabled autonomy software suite that enables us to augment any off-the-shelf spacecraft with the ability to autonomously detect, characterise, and reversibly neutralise orbital threats. By building on the proven space heritage of our best-in-class satellite-bus partners and fully integrating MITHRIL into a single unified platform, we deliver an end-to-end, autonomous in-space bodyguarding service. About the Job We are looking for a motivated Software Engineer Intern to support our Perception team in developing and enhancing our synthetic dataset generation system. This role offers hands-on experience with the full associated pipeline, including modeling, material and texture work, automation scripts, and Game Engine development. This is a unique opportunity to contribute directly to a core enabling technology for AI perception in space applications. What You’ll Do Support the Perception team in creating high-quality synthetic datasets for satellite perception and AI training. Further develop the existing dataset generation pipeline to make necessary system updates and expansion, as well as optimize for efficiency and scalability. Perform mesh preparation, including 3D modeling, material creation, and texturing. Develop automation scripts for processing data and assets, and interfacing between tools. Implement scene generation workflows, world-building, and rendering within a 3D game engine. Collaborate with engineers to prototype new dataset generation workflows. Qualifications Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Game Design, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. Proficiency in Python and experience with C++. Experience with game engines (e. g. Unreal Engine, Unity, or equivalent). Familiarity with 3D modelling software (e.g., Blender, Maya, o
