What you need

  • Enrollment in BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical or Computer Engineering
  • GPA of 3.5 or higher required
  • Experience with schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, and debugging
  • Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

What you'll do

  • Design and build electronics hardware for satellite communication systems
  • Own designs from concept through part selection, layout, build, and test
  • Create schematics and layouts while supporting hands-on lab work
  • Work side-by-side with design engineers on space electronics
Please Note: To conform with the United States Government Space Technology Export Regulations, the applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., conditional resident, asylee or refugee (protected individuals as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

At CesiumAstro, we are developers and pioneers of out-of-the-box communication systems for satellites, UAVs, launch vehicles, and other space and airborne platforms. We take pride in our dynamic and cross-functional work environment, which allows us to learn, develop, and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands-on, interactive, and autonomous work, CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate, collaborative, energetic, and forward-thinking individuals to join our team.

The CesiumAstro Hardware Design Team is looking for Spring 2027 interns to design and build electronics hardware for satellite communication systems.
 
On the CesiumAstro Hardware Design Team, we are responsible for full-stack hardware development for cutting-edge space electronics. We own designs from initial concept through part selection, schematic, layout, build, test, and delivery, all the way through in-orbit support. Designs encompass the 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 design engineers: contributing to the company’s success is as high of a priority as learning and gaining experience. Interns are typically responsible for their own schematics and layouts as well as supporting analysis and hands-on lab work. Specific assignments will be determined by a mix of project availability and candidate interests.
 
If you are an electrical engineering student who wants to sink your teeth into the rigor of space electronics design, this is the job for you.
 
To apply, please include a brief cover letter describing your interest in electronics hardware design and in this particular role.
