About
Florian Havard
Fourth-year engineering student at ESTACA, Space track (launchers and satellites). Seeking a 4- to 5-month internship between May and September 2027, ideally abroad.

What I am looking for
A 4- to 5-month internship between May and September 2027, in the space industry, ideally abroad. I am open to a range of engineering roles in the field, from mechanical design and systems work to integration and testing.
In a project, what I enjoy most is understanding the physics of the system, and looking for the configurations where it might not work as planned before they show up.
