SUMMER STUDENT
Position Overview
As a Summer Student at Pegasus, you’ll keep our lab, warehouse, and office ruthlessly organized while gaining first-hand exposure to aerospace hardware, software, and go-to-market execution. Roughly 70 % of your time will focus on cataloguing parts, maintaining workspaces, and assisting with light labour. The other 30 % is your runway: you’ll propose and deliver a project aligned to your interests—whether that’s building a test jig, scripting an inventory dashboard, or producing a product reel.
