The Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL) is in search of an Electrical Engineering Student with interest in Software Defined Radios (SDRs). This opportunity will include the design, building, and testing of the Iris Radio. Iris Radio is a highly successful Deep Space Radio. Iris Radios have sent and received signals from Mars, the Moon, and asteroids as well as many other parts of space. This will give you the opportunity to work with nationally recognized experts in SDRs and use State of the Art test equipment. You will be making interesting devices that will go into space. The successful candidate will be curious, motivated, and an EE or ECE student who is interested in software defined radios, signal processing, RF, and Microwaves. Having strong communication skills, both spoken and written, will ensure success as a member of a team. The design of radios touch on many aspects of many engineering disciplines. Early knowledge of many different aspects of engineering as well as a strong sense of wonder will be helpful. Candidates should have familiarity and interest in one or more of the following areas (please highlight any relevant experience in your application materials): Reading and understanding of electronics and schematics Hardware and software test and troubleshooting procedures Experience in an ESD environment Completion of communications, microwaves, or similar classes
