AST SpaceMobile is building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices based on our extensive IP and patent portfolio and designed for both commercial and government applications. Our engineers and space scientists are on a mission to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by today’s five billion mobile subscribers and finally bring broadband to the billions who remain unconnected.
Position Overview
We are seeking a motivated Flight Software Engineering Intern to join our Flight Software Team and support design, develop, and maintain the embedded software that powers AST SpaceMobile's satellite constellation, spanning development through Assembly, Integration, Test, Launch, and Commissioning.
Key Responsibilities:
Assist senior engineers in the design, development, and testing of embedded software modules under close guidance.
Learn how mission-specific microcontrollers are integrated into spacecraft systems, with hands-on support from the team.
Participate in design, code reviews and testing with the team.




Support debugging and troubleshooting of embedded systems alongside experienced engineers.
Contribute to writing and testing small software modules as assigned, with mentorship and code review support.
Document and communicate design decisions and progress.
Collaborate with other sub-system engineers to define and advance software specifications for development.
Technical Requirements:
Basic understanding of programming concepts — exposure through coursework or college projects is perfectly fine
Any tinkering with microcontrollers, hobby kits, or college lab work is a great starting point
Awareness of what a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) is; no hands-on experience needed
Basic knowledge of C or C++ from college coursework; proficiency will be built on the job
Familiarity with contemporary C++ concepts is a plus; willingness to learn is what matters
Conceptual understanding of multi-threa
