Open to Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering Majors Open to Undergraduate and Graduate students About Nucleon: Electronics in space and defense systems have to survive radiation, and they have to be tested to prove it. Nucleon helps the companies building satellites, spacecraft, and defense systems do exactly that. We run radiation test campaigns (total ionizing dose, heavy-ion, proton, and neutron) at accelerator facilities across the country, analyze how parts will perform once they’re in orbit, and maintain a growing database of radiation test data on modern components.
Nucleon was founded in 2022 and has offices in New York and Huntsville. Our team includes engineers from SpaceX, GE, Tesla, and the Missile Defense Agency, and our work goes directly into the hardware that gets launched.
Responsibilities:
Work closely with Radiation Effects Engineers to develop test procedures, ensure lab readiness, maintain equipment, and improve test efficiency.
Support ongoing internal R&D efforts in radiation modeling, device characterization, and electronics reliability.
Support radiation effects testing campaigns by assisting with test planning, test setup, and test documentation.
Design, layout, and validate PCBs for instrumentation, control, and data acquisition.
Assist with basic testing related to heated PCB concepts, including exploring ways to warm test coupons during panel evaluations.
Analyze test results and contribute to the generation of final report deliverables.
Required Qualifications:
Pursuing a Bachelor’s*, Master’s, or Doctorate degree in an accredited Electrical or Computer Engineering program.
Must have earned a minimum 3.50 GPA.
Demonstrated interest in radiation effects.
Hands‑on experience with test lab equipment, including power supplies, oscilloscopes, and digital multimeters.
Experience with PCB design (preferably using Altium Designer) is preferred but not required.
Strong willingness to learn and collaborate within a team environment.
Genuine interest in contributing to and growing with a fast‑paced startup.
Excellent problem‑solving, documentation, and cross‑disciplinary communication skills.
Applicants must be U.S. Persons as defined by U.S. export regulations (U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident).
*Applicants pursuing a bachelor’s degree must be classified as juniors or seniors in the 2026–2027 academic year.
Duration and Compensation: 12-week internship during Summer 2027.
Hourly pay by location:
New York, NY: $35/hour
Huntsville, AL: $30/hour
This is a non‑exempt hourly position. Hours beyond 40 per week require advance approval from your manager and are paid at 1.5× the hourly rate.
Relocation benefits are not provided.
