About the role

RF Engineering InternAre you interested in Engineering Radio-Frequency (RF) electronics, sensors, and systems for space? Are you passionate about space exploration and ensuring our nation's security? If you are pursuing a degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or equivalent and want to gain experience in Radio Frequency components and systems we'd love to have you join our team! The RF Engineering Team is seeking an intern to help us take on new challenges as we develop RF systems and components for spaceflight missions. As a member of our team, you will collaborate with a multidisciplinary group of engineers and scientists to develop, integrate, test, launch, and operate complex RF systems and the electronic building blocks that enable them. Together, we deliver world-class, cost-effective, and often first-of-their-kind RF systems that operate reliably in the harshest space environments. We are passionate about advancing best-in-class RF component and system development while providing our sponsors with the highest value. As a member of our team...Support a wide range of terrestrial and space-based communications, radio-navigation, radiometric, and remote sensing applications by developing novel, computationally efficient digital signal processing algorithms and environmentally robust hardware. Collaborate with experienced engineers to design and deliver world-class, cost-effective, and often first-of-their-kind RF systems that perform reliably in the harshest space environments.
Qualifications: You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...Are pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in Electrical/Computer Engineering or equivalent. Have a minimum 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale. Have a passion for space-flight hardware, electronics design, digital signal processing, integration and test. Can ultimately obtain a Top Secret level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship. You will go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you...Have experience with electronics design, software or firmware development, or test automation.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
