CS/ECE Student Position at CU

Below find details on a student development job here at one of CU's research labs.


The Flight (Embedded) Software group at CU’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) is looking for a CS or ECE grad/undergrad to fill a student employment position. The project is to design, implement, and test software used on/with satellites. Will work one-on-one with professional engineers and researchers, but has more autonomy and responsibility than most internships. Kind of a neat perk is that they will write software that will end up in outer space.

Required skills: Software development in C/C++ (Embedded Systems Certificate a plus)
Desired skills:

  • Software Engineering Process (Software Engineering Certificate a plus)
  • Experience with scripting languages
  • Basic familiarity with digital hardware

The ideal candidate is a student who is at least 2 years away from graduation. The work is part-time during semesters (flexible hours) and full-time during summer breaks. LASP is located close to campus and is composed of about 20% students. Look at the employment section of our website (http://lasp.colorado.edu/employment/) for additional information and then send resumes to HRADS@lasp.colorado.edu. Include any coursework or experience you have that directly relates, as well as U.S. citizenship status. In your email subject, use the code SCSTU0412-FSW.

For additional details about the position, you can contact Greg Newcomb, who is an Electronics and Software Engineer at LASP. He can be contacted at Greg.Newcomb@lasp.colorado.edu or at 303-735-6167.
