Market Research Intern - Space, In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing; ISAM Robots

The Space Lead is seeking a remote intern to support market research focused on In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM). This is a practical role for someone who likes turning messy, fragmented information into clear insight that is useful to founders, operators, and decision-makers.

ASAP

1 to 3 months (flexible)

Remote

Part-time or full-time (flexible)

Competitive, market-aligned compensation, commensurate with experience and scope. We will provide references with a clear portfolio of published work and research outputs you can show in future applications.

• Build a structured view of the ISAM landscape: key players, capabilities, facilities, missions, and timelines.
• Track signals across funding, contracts, partnerships, and technology milestones.
• Produce short, decision‑ready research outputs: 1-page briefs, tables, weekly snapshots, and “what changed” updates.
• Maintain research trackers (companies, programmes, TRL, procurement routes, geography, investors).
• Support targeted outreach prep with background notes and well‑researched target lists.

• How the ISAM market is forming in real time, and what real demand looks like.
• How to research like an analyst: sources, triangulation, and signal‑to‑noise judgement.
• How to communicate clearly for busy readers (short formats, crisp conclusions).
• How space industry procurement and partnerships actually get done (civil and defence‑adjacent).

• Clean, well‑sourced research with links and fast context.
• Trackers that stay consistent and easy to reuse.
• Concise writing that gets to the point without losing accuracy.
• Strong judgement on what matters and what is noise.

• Strong online research skills and attention to detail.
• Comfortable writing in short formats: bullets, tables, brief summaries.
• Able to work independently, hit deadlines, and ask smart questions early.
• Curious about space industry and ISAM.

• Familiarity with ESA/NASA/UKSA programmes, primes and supply chains, or venture landscape.
• Comfort with Notion/Airtable, spreadsheets, and light data cleaning.

Use whatever you work fastest in. Most work will be in docs/spreadsheets plus a simple tracker workflow.
