Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Assist with mechanical design of antenna components, structures, mechanisms, environmental systems, tooling, test fixtures, weldments, and ground support equipment. Collaborate with RF, electrical, manufacturing, and software engineers on system integration, design reviews, manufacturability, reliability, and compliance. Support hardware development, fabrication, assembly, and mechanical or thermal analysis for globally deployed satellite ground station systems.

Supports the design, implementation, and optimization of secure, scalable data movement across Northwood’s hybrid cloud and on-premises ground station network. Responsibilities include developing data transfer interfaces and pipelines, testing reliable and fault-tolerant systems, working with networking devices and protocols, and collaborating with software, network, and FPGA engineers to improve performance and scalability.

Support high-speed PCB development for digital communication systems, including schematic design, layout, FPGA and microcontroller integration, prototyping, board bring-up, validation, and performance testing. Collaborate with RF, antenna, and DSP/FPGA engineers, suppliers, and hardware teams to optimize reliability, scalability, component cost, and system performance. Work may involve lab testing, PCB rework, signal integrity, and EMI/EMC considerations.

Design, build, test, and deploy electrical and mechanical hardware for global ground station sites. The intern will own projects from inception through field deployment, construct GSE and wire harness test setups, troubleshoot site operations issues, and collaborate with electrical, mechanical, software, manufacturing, and external engineering teams.

Build ETL pipelines, predictive models, dashboards, data validation processes, and scenario analyses for demand forecasting, inventory optimization, supplier risk, and logistics. Analyze supply chain metrics and present actionable insights to cross-functional leaders while helping establish scalable analytics practices.

Support procurement, sourcing, order tracking, inventory optimization, supplier performance analysis, logistics monitoring, and supply chain process improvements for satellite ground station manufacturing. Build dashboards, reports, and automated tracking systems while collaborating with engineering and operations teams to ensure materials meet technical and quality requirements.

Supports RF hardware design, prototype fabrication, antenna and active RF circuit characterization, integrated RF testing, troubleshooting, and performance optimization. Collaborates with electrical, RF, mechanical, manufacturing, and software engineers from concept through production. Provides technical support to regulatory and site operations teams while gaining hands-on experience with RF test equipment, antenna systems, PCB design, and electromagnetic simulation tools.

Lead accounting and finance operations, including close, AP/AR, payroll, revenue recognition, cost accounting, forecasting, reporting, controls, audits, tax filings, and investor reporting. Build financial infrastructure, implement systems, guide capital and business planning, support cash flow management, and develop the finance team. The role combines executive-level financial leadership with hands-on transactional accounting responsibilities in a growing technology company.

Architect and implement FPGA-based networking and DSP systems for phased-array satellite ground stations. Lead designs from concept through production and deployment, define system requirements and architecture, debug hardware-software integration issues using field data, and improve system reliability and throughput. Collaborate cross-functionally on high-rate data processing, FPGA SoCs, embedded software, and high-performance PCBA designs.

Develop and operate ground software for satellite communications data paths. Responsibilities include implementing CCSDS protocols, ingesting and routing telemetry and command data, building high-performance real-time pipelines, creating packet analysis and replay tooling, integrating with SDRs, modems, and FPGA systems, and testing with simulated, hardware-in-the-loop, and live satellite data. The role translates mission requirements into production workflows and supports systems through deployment and operations.
