San Francisco, California, United States Astranis Full time
Astranis: Connecting the World through Innovative Space Technology

Astranis is a pioneering space technology company on a mission to bridge the digital divide by connecting the four billion people worldwide who currently lack internet access.

We're doing this by building the next generation of smaller, more cost-effective spacecraft to bring the world online.

Our Team's Achievements
  • Launched two satellites into orbit
  • Signed ten commercial deals worth over $1 billion in revenue
  • Raised over $500 million from top global investors
  • Recruited a team of over 300 world-class engineers

We all work out of our (legendary) San Francisco office, which was once used to build ships during the World Wars.

Our Satellite Technology

Our satellites, which operate from geostationary orbit (GEO), weigh only 400 kg and utilize a proprietary software-defined radio payload.

Each satellite can connect over two million people, and we're very excited for the impact we'll soon have in the Philippines, Peru, Mexico, and more.

Associate Engineer Role

As an Associate Engineer, 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.

Associate Engineers work on projects that are of equal importance and difficulty to the projects we give our full-time employees.

Responsibilities
  • Design, simulate, implement, and measure passive/active RF sub-systems at microwave frequencies
  • Integrate these systems into the spacecraft by working closely with the rest of the team
Requirements
  • Passion for hardware development, including working in a fast-paced environment and hands-on design and development
  • Deep knowledge of basic RF concepts, such as transmission lines, impedance matching, filter design, and active RF circuits
  • Hands-on experience in designing, building, and testing RF hardware for microwave frequencies
  • Experience with RF simulation tools (ADS or HFSS)
  • Experience taking RF measurements with spectrum analyzers, signal generators, network analyzers, etc.
  • US Citizenship or Green Card
Bonus Requirements
  • Antennas and Electromagnetics propagation knowledge and background
  • Experience with Software Defined Radios (SDR)
  • Experience with PCB design using Altium or similar schematic and layout tools
  • Experience with Python (or other object-oriented programming language)
  • Experience automating RF measurements

The base salary for this position is $1750 per week.
