About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bac+5 engineering education with a focus on radiocommunications, signal processing, optimization theory, or artificial intelligence.
  • Knowledge of mobile networks, radiocommunications, signal processing, connectivity, or radio propagation.
  • Knowledge of machine learning.
  • Knowledge of Python programming for implementing, testing, and evaluating algorithms.
  • Knowledge of 4G/5G technology.
  • Experience performing system simulations.
  • Ability to understand and write in English.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct a state-of-the-art review of the problem to identify existing approaches, their limitations, and promising approaches for the intended application context.
  • Contribute to the mathematical formulation of the problem, accounting for connectivity, quality of service, electromagnetic footprint, node mobility, and network dynamics.
  • Help design optimization- and/or artificial-intelligence-based algorithms to determine relay-node placement and the number of relays needed to maintain communication on each link.
  • Implement and evaluate proposed solutions on an existing Python platform across different network topologies, radio-propagation environments, and mobile scenarios with dynamic nodes, potentially subject to real-time responsiveness constraints.
  • Depending on the internship's progress, contribute to developing a proof-of-concept demonstrator to illustrate the concept, present results, and explore operational applicability.
