RF & Embedded Software Intern (Wireless Communications & RF)

What You'll Do

• ) Develop and showcase wireless/RF/embedded proof-of-concepts alongside the Field Applications team, turning early-stage ideas into working prototype for real-world scenarios.
• Build and execute RF and baseband test setups, including bend measurements, logging, repeatable test procedures, and basic automation where useful.
• Analyse cellular (5G/6G) system behaviour using software tools and lab instrumentation to identify issues, interpret results, and propose next engineering steps.
• Implement embedded experiments in C/C++ and/or Python to enable bring-up data capture, 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 (and optional lightweight automation) for a wireless/RF subsystem A Graphical User Interface coupled with embedded 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, RF Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (enrolled throughout the internship) Communications fundamentals: modulation, RF basics, link budgets, system-level thinking Familiarity with at least one of: 5G/NR concepts, SDRs, RF front-end blocks, antennas, satellite communication, beamforming, joint communication and sensing JCAS/ISAC, embedded bring-up Exposure to embedded Linux, microcontrollers, or FPGA/RTL concepts.
• Programming ability in C/C++ and/or Python for lab work, scripting, or embedded 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) What We Offer Close mentorship from experienced Field Applications Engineers Real customer-facing and system-level engineering exposure (wireless/RF + embedded) A defined project with clear milestones and an end-of-internship technical readout A collaborative team environment with strong learning culture For positions requiring access to technical data, Analog Devices, Inc. may have to obtain export licensing approval from the U.S.
