What is a Signal Processing Intern job?

A Signal Processing Intern is a temporary position where a student or recent graduate assists in analyzing, designing, and implementing algorithms to process signals such as audio, images, and sensor data. They work with tools like MATLAB, Python, and digital signal processors to improve data transmission and interpretation. Interns may contribute to projects in telecommunications, biomedical engineering, or machine learning while gaining hands-on experience in filtering, Fourier analysis, and signal transformation. This role often involves collaboration with engineers and researchers to develop innovative solutions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Signal Processing Intern position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Signal Processing Intern, you need a solid understanding of digital signal processing (DSP) fundamentals, proficiency in mathematics, and a background in electrical engineering or computer science. Familiarity with MATLAB, Python (NumPy/SciPy), and signal analysis tools is highly valuable, and coursework or certifications in DSP or related fields are often preferred. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective teamwork and communication skills help interns excel in project-based environments. These capabilities enable interns to contribute meaningful insights and solutions to complex signal processing challenges typically encountered in research and product development.

What kind of projects and collaboration can I expect as a Signal Processing Intern?

As a Signal Processing Intern, you are likely to work on projects involving the analysis, filtering, and interpretation of signals from various sources, such as audio, radio, or sensor data. You may contribute to tasks like prototyping algorithms, testing signal processing techniques, and supporting ongoing research or development efforts. Collaboration is a key part of the role, as you will interact closely with engineers, researchers, and sometimes software developers to implement and optimize solutions. This hands-on experience will give you deeper insight into real-world signal processing applications and prepare you for more advanced roles in the industry.

Job description

Astranis builds advanced satellites for high orbits, expanding humanity's reach into the solar system. Today, Astranis satellites provide dedicated, secure networks to highly-sophisticated customers across the globe- large enterprises, sovereign governments, and the US military. With five satellites on orbit and many more set to launch soon, the company is servicing a backlog of more than $1 billion of commercial contracts.
Astranis is the preferred satellite communications partner for buyers with stringent requirements for uptime, data security, network visibility, and customization. Astranis has raised over $750 million from some of the world's best investors, from Andreessen Horowitz to Blackrock and Fidelity, and employs a team of 450 engineers and entrepreneurs. Astranis designs, builds, and operates its satellites out of its 153,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Northern California, USA.
Communications/DSP Engineer - Intern (Fall 2026)
Internships at Astranis typically last for twelve weeks, and are hourly roles designed for students who are currently enrolled at a four-year university.
As an Intern, 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, no matter their seniority. Many past interns have designed and tested hardware/software that is heading to space on our first satellite, and many of them are now full-time employees at Astranis.
If you have already graduated from a four-year university, please apply to be an Associate Engineer.
Role
  • Design signal processing for custom software defined radio hardware (ex. channelization, equalization, PA linearization, gain control, carrier synchronization, symbol mapping, framing, channel coding/FEC, etc)
  • Work closely with FPGA developers to implement and test the signal processing on radio hardware
  • Model the end-to-end radio system from earth to space, and back.
  • Drive radio architecture trade studies, run link budgets, optimize the radio system for maximum performance for dozens of markets and use cases around the world

Requirements
  • A passion for working in a fast-paced environment and constantly learning
  • Strong fundamentals in "signals and systems" (basic transforms, filters, aliasing, analysis in both continuous and discrete domains, interpolation, decimation, etc)
  • Strong fundamentals in digital communications (modulation, coding, synchronization, fading, doppler, multiple access, channel capacity, etc)
  • Familiar with software development (some experience writing software for DSP, MCU, and/or FPGA, experience in one or more scripting languages)
  • Familiar with analog concepts (amplifiers, analog filters, gain and delay variation, reflections, compression, etc)
  • Experience working with signal generator, signal analyzer, network analyzer, oscilloscope, etc
  • US Citizenship or Green Card
  • Don't meet them all? Not a problem. Please apply even if you do not meet all these criteria.

Bonus
  • Experience with software defined radios
  • Experience with Python
  • Experience with GNU Radio
  • Experience with FPGA development (and/or embedded C)

The base pay for this position is $29.00 per hour.
