We’re looking for a stellar RF Engineering Intern to join our team for a 3 month internship. Working closely with our engineers, you will be responsible for analysis, test, and measurement of radiofrequency and microwave electronics to be hosted on some of the largest, most powerful, rapidly designed and rapidly manufactured satellites ever deployed in space. You will work hands-on with RF antenna test and measurement infrastructure used for the satellite, while getting exposure to other subsystems within the engineering organization. K2 Space is a highly collaborative environment, and our interns will be encouraged to work with mentors and other team members to execute complex projects.

What you'd do

Operate antenna measurement assets such as anechoic chambers and near field scanners
Qualify radiofrequency and antenna hardware through environmental testing including vibration, shock, thermal, and thermal vacuum (TVAC) testing
Assist with design, analysis, and validation testing for radiofrequency and microwave hardware from UHF 200 MHz through Ka band 31 GHz, including phased array antennas, low noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, filters, high speed converters, and other RF electronic components
Perform development and production tests to meet internal and external customer needs
Collaborate closely with internal and external stakeholders to integrate your design, test, and analysis into the spacecraft system

What they want

Must be currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering or other relevant science, technology, engineering, or mathematics discipline
6+ months experience of technical engineering skills outside of the university setting classroom (e.g.: laboratory, research, extracurricular project teams, volunteering, personal projects or prior internship/work experience)
Available for a minimum 12-week internship in person at our HQ in Torrance

What you get

Hourly pay range for this non-exempt role is $30 - $40 per hour
Hourly rate will be based on several factors including, but not limited to knowledge and skills, education, and experience level
