Original posting

Astranis (YC W16) | San Francisco, CA | Full-Time and Internships | Onsite | US Citizen or Green Card We’re building small, low-cost telecommunications satellites. Our mission is to help bring the 4 billion people online who are without internet. And to pull it off we have to reinvent microwave radios in space using SDRs. Work with incredibly smart people who have flown things in space before. Well-funded, but still a small team that moves fast. No prior space experience needed, you just need to enjoy getting your hands dirty with real hardware and be ok with struggling to do things that seem impossibly hard. Roles we’re hiring for include: * Internships (EE, ME, Aerospace, CS) -- Positions available both immediately and for summer 2017. Help design, build, and test real hardware that will fly in space. To apply you should already have some hands-on experience with hardware in your field. * Power electronics -- Design ~2 kW satellite power systems, including solar arrays and electronics for power regulation and distribution * Fault tolerant systems -- Design fault tolerant electronics for operating in a radiation environment * RF/Microwave -- work across a broad range designing and implementing RF systems at microwave frequencies, including LNAs and power amplifiers * DSP/FPGA -- program FPGA hardware, develop custom DSP IP cores and integrate off-the-shelf IP cores Please email john@astranis.com if you’re interested in learning more.
