Internship at Stevenson Astrosat

Posted on by

Lewis Dale on the ACS jobs Facebook page says: Stevenson Astrosat are currently looking for software engineers to come and work at their Edinburgh offices.

I’m currently doing an internship there, and the work is really interesting; it’s using satellite data for a variety of uses, including disaster recovery.

If this sounds interesting to you, send a CV and a small portfolio of work over to info@astrosat.biz, ir if you would like a bit more information feel free to drop me a message.

They really are a great company to work for, and you would be just in time to move into their new office, a newly-refurbished church in the centre of Musselburgh.
