Avionics Engineering Intern

At Reflect, you will be expected to move fast, have a lot of ownership and, most importantly, be able to effect change. If this excites you, we are interested in hearing about your best work and accomplishments across any domain and from any points in your life.

About the Role

Reflect Orbital believes that talent is talent regardless of experience. If you seek an opportunity to solve hard problems and advance humanity, Reflect Orbital can offer that experience.

During your internship at Reflect Orbital you will be given as much responsibility as our full-time team-members. You work will contribute to directly to the success of our flying constellation.

Ideal candidates for internships will be comfortable facing challenges with no known solution, willing to be hands-on individual contributors, and able to commit to a minimum of 12 weeks in-person at our Hawthorne, CA office. We encourage all motivated and excellent candidates to apply regardless of the specific set of requirements you meet.

Responsibilities

• Carry out PCB design from schematic capture through layout, release, and fabrication

• Bring up and debug prototype hardware on the bench

• Support qualification and acceptance campaigns across vibration, thermal, and vacuum environments

• Communicate design intent and analysis/test results clearly and professionally in design reviews and design documentation

Basic Qualifications

• Must be enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program in electrical, computer, aerospace, or related engineering discipline

• 3+ months of engineering experience in internships, research projects, engineering teams, or personal projects

• Experience with an ECAD tool such as Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or KiCAD

• You've worked on a student engineering team (rocketry, CubeSat, FSAE, or similar) where you've owned hardware end-to-end

• You are familiar with avionics integration in spacecraft, aircraft, or drones

Even if you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, we are likely still interested in hearing from you. Hiring exceptional individuals is our #1 priority, and we believe that exceptional people often have highly unusual backgrounds.
