Introduction: 

OreSat is a fully open source 1U - 3U CubeSat system meant to be built, modified, and flown by student teams. OreSat has everything you would expectfrom a CubeSat system: a 1 - 3U structure, multi-band deployable antenna, solar array, battery pack, on-board computer, radio system, star tracker,reaction wheels, magnetorquers, GPS receiver, and capability for a high speed S band radio system. The first OreSat satellite, OreSat0, is currentlyoperational in low earth orbit. Two other OreSat missions are planned, and there are three other educational projects planning on building OreSats. Youcan find out more details at https://www.oresat.org/. OreSat0.5, the next OreSat mission, is scheduled for hand-off in October of 2022. Based on what welearned with Oresat0, many of the electrical systems for the card must be revised and updated.

Position Description: 

Students will work with the OreSat project managers and experienced industry advisors to (1) identify which systems need updating, (2) port thesesystems to the open source KiCAD schematic capture and board layout tool, (3) upgrade them as required including coping with part shortages, (4) havethe boards fabricated, (5) assemble the boards by hand, and (6) test the boards for flight in Oresat0.5.

Position Responsibilities: 

Daily activities will include schematic capture and PCB layout using KiCAD, frequent design reviews, prototyping changes, assembling PCBs, testingPCBs, and thorough documentation.

Required/Preferred Qualifications: 

Students should be ECE majors, with hands-on electrical experience with designing and building embedded systems. Students should have schematiccapture and board layout experience with KiCAD.
