We own designs from initial concept through part selection, schematic, layout, build, test, and delivery, all the way through in-orbit support. Designs encompass the spectrum of electronics design, including high-speed digital, power electronics, and RF hardware - often on the same board.\nWe’re looking for summer interns to support our mission. Interns work side-by-side with design engineers: contributing to the company’s success is as high of a priority as learning and gaining experience. Interns are typically responsible for their own schematics and layouts as well as supporting analysis and hands-on lab work. Specific assignments will be determined by a mix of project availability and candidate interests.\nIf you are an electrical engineering student who wants to sink your teeth into the rigor of space electronics design, this is the job for you.\nTo apply, please include a brief cover letter describing your interest in electronics hardware design and in this particular role.\nJOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS\nCurrent enrollment in a Bachelor of Science (BS), Master of Science (MS), or PhD program in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering from an accredited university.\nGPA of 3.5 or higher.\nStrong fundamentals in EE topics covered in coursework.\nPractical experience designing and building electronics hardware for a research project, competition team, extracurricular activity, prior internship, or advanced engineering course.\nExperience with schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, and debugging.\nHands-on experience with lab instruments such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, electronic loads, and signal generators.\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills. Cesium interns regularly present their work to peers, mentors, and Cesium executive leadership throughout the course of the summer.\nPREFERRED EXPERIENCE\nStrong extracurricular involvement, such as in competition teams or research\nAerospace experience, such as a previous internship or school CubeSat project.\nAdvanced coursework or research experience in digital, power, analog, and/or RF circuit design.\nStrong programming skills to support hardware bring-up and test (C/C++, Python, MATLAB, etc.).\nExperience with SPICE-based circuit simulation.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2544,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Electrical & Electronic Engineering","Embedded & Electronics Design","Satellite Communications","RF & Wireless Hardware"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-09T18:19:57Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 2","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":152500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-12T07:36:15+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":47,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cesiumastro-summer-2027-electrical-engineering-internship-hardware-3","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cesiumastro-summer-2027-electrical-engineering-internship-hardware-3.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T15:31:35Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":32438,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":5315},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5315"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcesiumastro-summer-2027-electrical-engineering-internship-hardware-3"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcesiumastro-summer-2027-electrical-engineering-internship-hardware-3"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcesiumastro-summer-2027-electrical-engineering-internship-hardware-3"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cesiumastro-summer-2027-electrical-engineering-internship-hardware-3\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcesiumastro-summer-2027-electrical-engineering-internship-hardware-3"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3976734}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"cesiumastro.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3976734},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
