Intern (m/f/d): Software Defined Radio - Application and Demo Development

We have radio equipment and development tools - you help us show others what they are capable of. Whether it’s a receiver algorithm or a neat graphical user interface - you program the radio demo that gets others as excited about software defined radios as we are.

Now, there is a demo, and nobody knows about it. What a shame! But we’re not worried– you are a creative mind with tons of ideas on how to create demo videos for social media or physical demo setups for conferences and fairs.

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

Depending on interests and prior experience you are either working in one or both of the following areas:

• Developing radio application examples, e.g., in Python or GNU Radio, using NIs USRPs (software defined radios). Extension to FPGA programming is an option
• Creating demo videos for social media, demo setups and posters for conferences

Who You Are:

• You are passionate about wireless technology and signal processing and like to learn and work with the latest software defined radio techniques and equipment.
• You enjoy sharing and imparting knowledge.
• You are a creative mind with tons of ideas on how to create demos and videos.

For this Role, You Will Need:

• Academic studies in Electrical Engineering, Information System Technology, Media Computer Science or comparable field of studies (from 4th semester)
• Basic understanding and interest in digital signal processing and wireless communications
• Presentation mindset – you care about getting others excited about content and you know how to do that
• You have already developed applications in Python or C++ or similar (Verilog is a plus but no must)
• You have created videos that get the message through
• Good command of spoken and written English and/or German
• Compulsory internship (internship duration: 4 - 6 months)

Preferred Qualifications that Set You Apart:

• You are a radio enthusiast who has already developed applications using SDRs
• Your social media profile or video references speak for themselves

Our Offer to You:

We attach great importance to your development, so we want to make sure that you not only find a challenging job with us, but also a workplace that is supportive and rewarding. You'll receive structured onboarding as well as dedicated support from professional mentors.

Practical expertise imparted:

• Opportunity to work with the latest measurement techniques and equipment
• Get insight into how day-to-day business looks like for an engineer
• Work in an international R&D team

In addition, you can expect a variety of attractive employee benefits:

• Fair compensation
