Mechanical Engineer - Associate Program (Fall 2026)

Associate Engineer positions typically last for twelve weeks, and are salaried roles designed for students who have already received a bachelor's degree (or who will have done so before working at Astranis).

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

Many past Associate Engineers have designed and tested hardware/software that is heading to space on our first satellite, and many now work at Astranis full-time.

If you are still a college student, please apply to join us as an Intern.

• Work together with the engineering team to design, build, and test satellite hardware and/or software

• Have a four-year degree in mechanical, aerospace, or equivalent technical degree (e.g. physics or applied math)

• A passion and enthusiasm for hardware development, including working in a fast-paced environment and hands-on design and development

• Demonstrated ability to personally design, build, and test hardware from scratch

• Don't meet them all? Not a problem. Please apply even if you do not meet all these criteria.

• Experience with analytical software such as stress or thermal analysis

• Experience with electromechanical system design and specification
