AtCesiumAstro 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.

On the CesiumAstroSpecialty EngineeringTeam weare responsible forperformingspecialtyanalysisand test across a range of disciplines includingcomponent radiation materials and process reliability and EMI/EMC engineering to support all CesiumAstro products includingcutting-edgespace ownspecialty requirements for ourdesigns frominitialconcept throughmanufacturing test and delivery all the way throughon-orbit supportand anomaly thefullspectrum of electronics design includinghigh-speed digital power electronics and RF hardware often on the same board.

Werelooking forsummer interns to support our mission. Interns work side-by-side withstaff specialtyengineerscontributing to the companys success is as high of a priority as learning andgaining intern assignments directly support our active space electronics design; no paper intern projects which never get built!Specific assignments will bedeterminedby a mix of project availability andcandidate interests.

A brief overview of work scope for each discipline:

Radiation Engineer

CesiumAstro radiation engineers provided end-to-end support to our mechanical and electrical engineering will vary from natural space radiation environment definition and shielding tocomponentperformance to circuit analysis of single event effects.

ComponentEngineer

CesiumAstrocomponentengineersassistelectrical engineering designers inidentifyingcomponents which meet both electrical performance requirements and survive the harsh environment of space while balancing cost and lead time will vary from building data integration tools andoptimizingbill-of-material costs to assessingcomponentperformance and reliability.

If you are an electrical engineering physics or similar disciplinestudent who loves your coursework and wants to sink your teeth intothe rigor ofspace electronics design this is thejobfor you.
