Spring 2026 - Specialty Engineering Internship

On the CesiumAstro Specialty Engineering Team, we are responsible for performing specialty analysis and test across a range of disciplines including component, radiation, materials and process, reliability, and EMI/EMC engineering to support all CesiumAstro products including cutting-edge space electronics. We own specialty requirements for our designs from initial concept through manufacturing, test, and delivery, all the way through on-orbit support and anomaly analysis. Designs encompass the full spectrum of electronics design, including high-speed digital, power electronics, and RF hardware – often on the same board.

We’re looking for summer interns to support our mission. Interns work side-by-side with staff specialty engineers contributing to the company’s success is as high of a priority as learning and gaining experience. All intern assignments directly support our active space electronics design; no paper intern projects which never get built! Specific assignments will be determined by a mix of project availability and candidate interests.

A brief overview of work scope for each discipline:

1. Radiation Engineer

CesiumAstro radiation engineers provided end-to-end support to our mechanical and electrical engineering teams. Assignments will vary from natural space radiation environment definition and shielding to component performance to circuit analysis of single event effects.

1. Component Engineer

CesiumAstro component engineers assist electrical engineering designers in identifying components which meet both electrical performance requirements and survive the harsh environment of space while balancing cost and lead time constraints. Assignments will vary from building data integration tools and optimizing bill-of-material costs to assessing component performance and reliability.

If you are an electrical engineering, physics or similar discipline student who loves your coursework and wants to sink your teeth into the rigor of space electronics design, this is the job for you.
