Software Engineer Intern - Enterprise Systems Fall 2026

Before a satellite can be launched into space, it needs to be designed, procured, assembled, and tested.  The Enterprise systems team builds software and analytics tools to enable the end-to-end engineering that is required to take a satellite design into space.

Internships at Astranis typically last for twelve weeks, and are hourly roles designed for students who are currently enrolled at a four-year university.

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. Past interns on this team have built software that we still rely on today to procure, test, and manufacture our satellites — and many of them are now full-time engineers at Astranis.

Role

  • Collaborate with our engineering team to design, build, and test software that Astranis teams rely on every day to design, test, and manufacture the hardware that powers our satellites.
  • Test & Production Infrastructure: Help develop and maintain internal applications that support test operations, scheduling, and production tracking across manufacturing
  • Hardware Design & Supply Chain Tools: Support internal tools used directly by hardware design and supply chain teams to improve accuracy and efficiency
  • Self-Serve Automation & Workflows: Build automated workflows using orchestration tools to reduce manual work across teams
  • Data, Analytics & AI Tooling: Contribute to our data warehouse infrastructure, data ingestion pipelines, and BI tooling to power business analytics and AI workflows

Requirements

  • Currently pursuing a B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering, or equivalent technical degree
  • Experience with Python
  • Demonstrated ability to personally design, write, and test software from scratch
  • Don't meet them all? Not a problem. Please apply even if you do not meet all these criteria.

Bonus

  • Experience with embedded systems
  • Experience with frontend development
  • Experience with devops/internal tools
