Radiation Effects Test Engineer Intern (Winter 2027)

As our Radiation Effects Intern, you will be supporting the modeling, analysis, and rigorous electrical testing of actual spacecraft hardware within the space radiation environment. You will have a direct impact on our space vehicles by characterizing electrical component degradation and executing hardware testing at various laboratories across the U.S.

Internships at Astranis typically last for twelve weeks, and are hourly roles designed for students currently pursuing bachelor's degrees from four-year universities. 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

  • Evaluate and electrically test fault-tolerant electrical systems operating in a radiation environment
  • Assist in creating electrical test plans, developing test fixtures, and documenting test activities and results. Practice efficient issue diagnosis and draft clear documentation for review by the team
  • Support radiation testing campaigns to up-screen components for TID and SEE, focusing on electrical parametric characterization before, during, and after exposure
  • Work in a cross-discipline manner across teams to inform their decisions with regards to radiation considerations
  • Support test development and early-stage activities, which include breadboarding electrical circuits, automated test setup verification, and basic cable harness fabrication

Requirements

  • Currently pursuing a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related engineering field
  • A passion for hardware development, including working in a fast-paced environment and hands-on electrical testing and troubleshooting
  • Strong proficiency with essential electronics lab equipment, including the standard use of oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and source meter units
  • Experience with Altium Designer (or other PCB design software) for schematic capture and board layout
  • Demonstrated ability to personally design, build, and rigorously test electrical hardware from scratch
  • Don't meet them all? Not a problem. Please apply even if you do not meet all these criteria

Bonus

  • Familiarity with the space radiation environment and effects on semiconductor devices
  • Experience with SPICE-based simulators (LTSpice, PSPICE, ADS, etc.) to simulate circuit behavior and faults
  • Comfortable with soldering, rework, and building specialized test harnesses
  • Familiarity with fundamental electronics concepts and components (integrated circuits, PCBAs, sensors) and how to benchmark their performance
  • Experience with radiation transport software (FastRAD, Novice, MCNPX, etc.)

The base pay for this position is $29.00 per hour.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
