Electrical Engineering Internship (RF, Summer 2027)

• The CesiumAstro hardware team is looking for Summer 2027 interns to design and build RF electronics hardware and antennas for satellite communication systems
• RF hardware development interns will work closely with CesiumAstro engineers on product development, schematic design, test, and manufacturing of space electronics. Areas of focus will include either board-level RF electronics design (e.g. front-ends with amplifiers, switches, filters, etc.) system design, or antenna design. Assignments will be determined by a mix of project availability and the interests of the successful candidates
• CesiumAstro interns regularly present their work to peers, mentors, and CesiumAstro executive leadership throughout the course of the summer. As such, excellent written and verbal communication skills are required
