We’re looking for Electrical Engineering students and recent graduates who have experience—or a strong interest—in Software Defined Radio (SDR) development and testing. Our summer internship offers hands-on learning, direct mentorship, and the opportunity to work with Teltrium SDRs that use cutting-edge digital signal processing techniques for modern wireless communication systems.
In this role, you will:
- Build and configure test setups using SDRs and lab equipment such as Arbitrary Waveform Generators, Spectrum Analyzers, and Digital Oscilloscopes
- Write scripts to automate testing workflows
- Perform performance evaluations, including Bit Error Rate (BER) testing
- Develop test plans and detailed test procedures
- Document results through clear and thorough test reports
Summer interns will apply their engineering knowledge to perform advanced testing on Teltrium SDRs that enable innovative wireless communication solutions. Interns will also have the unique opportunity to work oneonone with senior SDR engineers, gaining foundational communications engineering skills while supporting realworld performance testing.
