Business Development Intern in Seal Beach, California at AstroForge

At AstroForge, our mission is to make space resources accessible on Earth. We mine asteroids to extract valuable minerals in space at a lower cost and smaller carbon footprint than current terrestrial mining methods.

By joining AstroForge, you’ll have the opportunity to work side by side with our business and engineering teams to help shape the future of deep-space commercialization. This internship will provide you with hands-on experience in the business of space — from understanding market dynamics and government funding mechanisms to evaluating commercial opportunities for advanced spacecraft technologies.

As a Business Development Intern, you will help identify, analyze, and quantify new opportunities for AstroForge’s spacecraft, payload, and data products. You’ll assist in developing commercialization plans that bridge our deep-space mission capabilities with real-world markets including government programs, commercial partnerships, and terrestrial technology applications.

You’ll work directly with the Chief Business Officer and VP of Business Development and collaborate cross-functionally with engineering and operations teams to translate technical advancements into viable business strategies.
