About the job

Embedded Software Developer, Network/Payload Software Intern (Fall 2026)

Internships at Astranis typically last for twelve weeks, and are hourly roles designed for students who are currently enrolled at a four-year university.

As an Intern, 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, no matter their seniority. Many past interns have designed and tested hardware/software that is heading to space on our first satellite, and many of them are now full-time employees at Astranis.

Role

  • Work with the engineering team to design, write and test software (software running on satellites, ground control and testing software)
  • Develop Software to manage the performance of the satellite from the Ground Stations Requirements
  • Currently pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering, Aerospace or equivalent technical degree
  • Experience with C++, Python and scripting language(s)
  • Demonstrated ability to personally design, write, and test software from scratch
  • Don't meet them all? Not a problem. Please apply even if you do not meet all these criteria.

Bonus

  • Experience with RF and Signal processing
  • Experience with real time operating systems
