We're looking for passionate engineering students for a hands-on UWB Radar Modem internship combining signal processing, ML, algorithm development, simulation, experimental validation, and real-hardware prototyping.
Your Responsibilities- Research, develop, and evaluate signal-processing and ML algorithms for UWB Radar applications.
- Build simulation, algorithm-development, and data-analysis tools.
- Design and conduct laboratory experiments, collect radar measurements, and analyze system performance.
- Develop tools for measurement automation, data collection, and chip/system validation.
- Prototype and demonstrate new sensing capabilities using real-world radar data and hardware.
- Document results and communicate findings through technical reports, presentations, and demonstrations.
- Collaborate with engineers across systems, algorithms, RF, hardware, software, and applications teams.
Your ProfileMinimum Qualifications- Currently pursuing a Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
- Strong foundation in digital signal processing, signals and systems, communication theory, linear algebra, probability, or related areas.
- Programming experience with Python, MATLAB, C/C++, or similar languages.
- Ability to translate mathematical concepts into simulations and working implementations.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative engineering environment.
Nice to HaveExperience in one or more of the following is a plus:
- Machine learning applied to sensing or signal-processing problems
- Embedded or real-time signal-processing implementation
- Laboratory measurements, RF test equipment, or hardware experimentation.
- Research, coursework, or technical projects in signal processing, radar, wireless systems, sensing, machine learning, localization, or related areas.
Prior UWB or radar experience is not required. Strong fundamentals and demonstrated ability to solve challenging technical problems are equally valuable.
