About the role
Internship Opportunity At CesiumAstroAt CesiumAstro, we are developers and pioneers of out-of-the-box communication systems for satellites, UAVs, launch vehicles, and other space and airborne platforms. We take pride in our dynamic and cross-functional work environment, which allows us to learn, develop, and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands-on, interactive, and autonomous work, CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate, collaborative, energetic, and forward-thinking individuals to join our team. 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. To apply, please include a cover letter describing your interest in RF hardware or antennas and either space systems or communication systems.

GPA of 3.5 or higher. Advanced coursework in RF & microwave engineering. Upper-level undergraduate coursework in electromagnetics. Practical experience designing and building electronics hardware for a research project, competition team, extracurricular activity, or advanced engineering course. Hands-on experience with lab instruments such as network analyzers, power sensors, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, electronic loads, and signal generators. Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Preferred Experience:
Familiarity with electronics schematic and layout tools such as Altium.
Advanced coursework in antennas.
Advanced coursework in communication systems.
Advanced coursework in electromagnetics.
Familiarity with circuit and physics simulation tools such as Ansys HFSS and ADS.Familiarity with programming languages such as Python.

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.
