From Overview Energy's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Overview Energy is a mission-driven team committed to building a new layer of energy infrastructure: satellites in geosynchronous orbit that redirect solar energy to terrestrial solar projects via passively safe near-infrared light. We're in the earliest phase, where the operating concept and every warfighter conversation helps to define how this technology is used. Headquartered in the Northern Virginia / Washington, DC area and backed by world-class investors, we are advancing the next generation of clean energy technology.
We're looking for a Policy Intern to answer a question nobody has answered yet: what rules govern space solar energy operations, and how does a warfighter actually operate the system?
In support of a Department of War (DoW) energy investment program, you'll research the policy landscape for space and beacon operations and turn it into concrete CONOPS language. You'll research DoW sites for present and future testing. And you'll build the material that makes this technology legible to the people who would use it to feed our broader space solar energy operational guide.
This is a paid, part-time internship running September 2026 through March 2027 at 3-5 hours per week, with a flexible schedule and hybrid work out of our Northern Virginia headquarters. Hourly rate: $30-$40.
You'll be mentored directly by the team leading our government engagement, and your work is a funded DoW deliverable, not a side project.
