Hardware Design Associate, Software Defined Radio Team (Summer 2027)
This is a 12-week salaried Associate Engineer position for graduates with a bachelor's degree. You'll work on projects of equal importance and difficulty to those assigned to full-time engineers, and many past Associates have seen their hardware and software reach orbit on Astranis satellites.
What you will do
- Design, simulate, implement, and test internally developed software defined radio hardware
- Bring up and debug hardware in the lab with top-of-the-line instruments and equipment
- Write code to evaluate performance and automate testing of satellite hardware
- Integrate these systems into the spacecraft by working closely with the team
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
- Demonstrated ability to personally design, build, and test PCBA hardware from scratch (student design team projects, competitions, or personal projects)
- Solid EE foundation in one or more of the following:
- 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)
- Passion for hardware development, hands-on design, and working in a fast-paced environment
Bonus qualifications
- 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)
Compensation
Base salary: $1,925 per week.
