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 now flying 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.

- 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
- 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 (s-parameters, transmission lines, impedance matching)
- US Citizenship or Green Card
- Must be onsite in San Francisco 3 days a week minimum
Bonus:
- Experience building or using software defined radios
- Experience with Altium Designer (or other PCB design software)
- Experience with analysis software (Spice, ADS, ANSYS, Hyperlynx)
