Job description

Hardware Design Associate, Software Defined Radio Team (Fall 2026)

Associate Engineer positions typically last for twelve weeks, and are salaried roles designed for students who have already received a bachelor's degree (or who will have done so before working at Astranis). 

As an Associate Engineer, you will have an amazing opportunity to work on hard problems - we pride ourselves on giving everyone at Astranis a chance to do meaningful work on challenging projects, and our Associate Engineers work on projects that are of equal importance and difficulty to the projects we give our full-time employees. Many past Associate Engineers have designed and tested hardware/software that is heading to space on our first satellite, and many now work at Astranis full-time. 

If you are still a college student, please apply to join us as an Intern. 

Role
  • Design, simulate, implement, and test our internally developed software defined radio hardware
  • Bringup and debug hardware in the lab with top of the line instruments and equipment
  • Write code to help evaluate performance and automate testing of satellite hardware
  • Integrate these systems into the spacecraft by working closely with the rest of the team
Requirements
  • A passion for hardware development, including working in a fast-paced environment and hands-on design and development
  • Hold a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
  • Demonstrated ability to personally design, build, and test PCBA hardware from scratch (student design team projects, design competitions, personal projects)
  • Solid EE foundation in one or more of the following areas:
    • analog design (op amps, transistors, RLC filters)
    • digital design (FPGAs, SOCs, SERDES, DDR, LVDS)
    • mixed signal design (ADCs, DACs, power integrity)
    • RF design (Lineups, s-parameters, impedance matching)

Bonus

  • Experience building or using software defined radios
  • Experience with Altium Designer (or other PCB design software)
  • Experience with analysis software (ADS, ANSYS, Matlab)
  • Experience with Python or similar programming languages
  • Experience with soldering and rework
  • Experience with EE lab bench equipment (power supply, oscilloscope, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, network analyzers, etc)
