**The Opportunity**

Orbitworks is a sovereign aerospace and advanced technology company in the UAE. We build and test real satellite systems — and our interns work on projects that matter from day one.

**What You'll Do**

Trade-off study and selection of a local honeycomb panel supplier. The project covers compiling panel drawings, identifying manufacturing operations, evaluating potential suppliers against ECSS standards, validating vendor processes through coupon/sample fabrication, performing NDT & DTs on panels, and generating a qualification report.

**What You'll Deliver**

- Technical report outlining supplier validation results

- Supplier recommendation based on technical, commercial, and programmatic trade-off

- NDT & DT test results and process verification documentation

- Completed vendor qualification package

**What You'll Learn**

- Aerospace composite and structural materials knowledge

- Engineering drawing interpretation and manufacturing process engineering

- Supplier evaluation, ECSS standards familiarity, and quality assurance

- NDT/DT testing and validation skills

- Technical documentation and V&V reporting
