University Recruiting Internships at ViaSat, a Satellite Communications CompanyUniversity Recruiting Internships at ViaSat, a Satellite Communications Company
Our university recruiting program is all about finding the best and the brightest, bringing them on board our team, and then providing the opportunity to grow and excel – starting from day one! Our internship program selects a large number of student interns every summer to work at ViaSat and get involved in real projects.
Group Intern Projects
Some interns are selected to work together as an intern team, responsible for their own project.

“In classes we are typically given a design by the instructor and then our job is to implement it. In our ‘real world’ project at ViaSat, we received the goals and specifications of the project and then were left to design and implement a system to meet those goals. The design freedom forced us to be creative.” – Barron Stone |

“We enjoyed working with the employees at ViaSat and the work environment was really great. Everyone was very smart. Living in California for the summer was awesome!” – CJ Steuernagel
“The hands-on experience we had will be valuable when we take future classes. Previously my coursework had been focused mostly in computer engineering and FPGA programming. After this summer, I see more value getting a better understanding of signals and communication system design.” – Brent Stephens
