About the Role

Wireless, RF, and embedded software prototypes are among the fastest ways we learn what will work in the field. This internship places you alongside a Field Applications team working on real customer and internal challenges spanning cellular (5G/6G), O-RAN systems, CU/DU server-level integration, RF system bring-up, embedded Linux, software validation, and application-level development. Mentorship and structured check-ins are built in, and you will be expected to drive an applied technical project to a clear outcome by the end of the internship.

What You will Work On (

Core Responsibilities

• ) Develop and showcase wireless, RF, embedded software, and O-RAN proof-of-concept (PoC) solutions that demonstrate new technologies in real-world scenarios.
• Build and execute test setups, including bench measurements, server and network configuration, logging, repeatable test procedures, and basic automation where useful.
• Analyse cellular (5G/6G) and O-RAN system behaviour across radio, O-RU, O-DU, and O-CU interfaces using software tools and lab instrumentation to identify issues, interpret results, and propose next engineering steps.
• Develop embedded and server-side software in C/C++ and/or Python for platform bring-up, data capture, control, integration, automation, and system evaluation.
• Investigate technical questions from internal teams or customers and summarize findings in clear, actionable reports.
• Present technical results to internal stakeholders, and when appropriate, support the team in customer-facing discussions.
• Example Internship Deliverables (4-6 Months) A working PoC demo plus a short technical report (setup, results, limitations, next steps) A repeatable test plan, with optional lightweight automation, for a wireless/RF subsystem or an O-RAN CU/DU integration workflow A graphical user interface coupled with embedded software, server-side software, and hardware A Recommendations brief for a customer-relevant use case (what worked, what did not, what we should do next)

Requirements

• Current Masters or PhD student in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Communications Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Embedded Systems, or a related field (enrolled throughout the internship)
• Strong academic foundation in wireless communications and embedded software, with an understanding of RF fundamentals and networked systems.
• Familiarity with at least one of: 5G/NR concepts, O-RAN architecture, CU/DU software, Linux networking, SDRs, RF front-end blocks, antennas, satellite communication, beamforming, joint communication and sensing (JCAS/ISAC), or embedded bring-up
• Experience with embedded Linux, Linux-based servers, networking concepts, microcontrollers, or FPGA/RTL concepts. Programming ability in C/C++ and/or Python for embedded development, system integration, lab automation, scripting, or validation
• Demonstrated hands-on problem-solving through research, projects, labs, or prior internships Clear technical communication: able to explain what you tried, what happened, and what it means Nice to Have AI/ML
• Experience
• Experience with lab instrumentation (spectrum analyzer, VNA, signal generator, oscilloscope) Interest in power circuits/subsystems as they relate to communications platforms
• Prior work with test automation, data analysis, or tooling (e.g., Git, CI basics, MATLAB)
