About the company

Satellogic is a vertically integrated Earth Observation company that designs, manufactures, and operates satellite systems, delivering decision-grade insights at scale to government and commercial customers.

We build space systems end-to-end, from satellite design and manufacturing to launch and on-orbit operations, giving us the ability to deploy quickly, operate reliably, and support persistent monitoring across regions and priority areas. Our approach moves customers beyond one-off imagery toward continuous awareness and alert-driven decision-making, with flexible pathways that can evolve from managed monitoring to full satellite ownership and sovereign control.

Our technology supports a wide range of use cases across climate monitoring, agriculture, energy, infrastructure, defense and intelligence, helping organizations detect change, manage risk, and plan with confidence.

With a team distributed across five countries, Satellogic brings together expertise in satellite engineering, software development, data science, manufacturing, operations, and go-to-market. We’re a group of purpose-driven builders who value ownership, curiosity, and execution—and who work with humility, honesty, and empathy.

About the team

The Assembly, Integration, and Testing (AIT) team serves as the vital bridge between Satellite Engineering and our Pilot Plant. We guarantee that the satellites we design can be produced using repeatable, scalable processes. We are the nexus between design and manufacturing, working under tight deadlines to ensure rapid production feasibility.

About the Internship

As a Software-AIT Intern, you won't just be writing code; you will be the architect of the environment where hardware meets software. You will develop the Python-based tools and frameworks required to validate our satellite prototypes and production units.

Key Responsibilities 

• Hardware Interface Development: Develop Python tools to interface with satellite subsystems via protocols like CAN, SPI, I2C, and UART.
• Test Automation: Assist in creating automated test sequences for complex electronic circuits and satellite prototypes.
• System Integration: Support the setup and maintenance of physical test benches, including power supplies, oscilloscopes, and data acquisition systems.
• Framework Contribution: Collaborate on building scalable software frameworks used by the production team to monitor satellite health.
• Quality Assurance: Help oversee the reliability of test solutions to ensure they provide accurate "Pass/Fail" feedback in a manufacturing setting.

About you 

Required/Desirable skills:

• Python Proficiency: Strong ability to use Python for automation, data processing, or hardware control.
• Electronics Fundamentals: Deep understanding of complex electronic circuits and the ability to read schematics.
• Hardware Interfacing: Experience working with communication protocols such as UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and Ethernet.
• Embedded Foundations: Familiarity with C and Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) or Linux.
• Experience with Docker/containers for deploying test environments.
• Version control using Git.
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment (Osciloscopes, Multimeters, etc.).

Location

• Montevideo, Uruguay.

Diversity Commitment 

Satellogic values diversity and inclusion and is an equal opportunity employer. We are convinced that hiring and developing top talent from around the world for any given discipline will drive innovation, generate new solutions, and deliver a superior product to our global customer base.
