One team. Global challenges. Infinite opportunities. At Viasat, we're on a mission to deliver connections with the capacity to change the world.

Interns on this team will explore, validate, and unlock the value of new advanced concepts, ranging from satellites, network infrastructures, down to components or algorithms. You will help shape and support the design, prototype and delivery of new service concepts. These can start spread across deep technical feasibility studies or move to hands-on proof of concepts demonstrated over the air. You will perform technological assessments and determine if the technology has potential to be innovative, whether Viasat should be a key player, and/or protect the business from risks associated with it. The day-to-day You will support in the development of existing projects which range from early stage exploratory concepts, to larger (but still early stage development) programs with external and internal business funding.
