Working Student Intern - Radio Frequency Validation and Lab Automation

As part of this program, NXP has built up a brand-new competence center for high‑frequency technologies: the Terahertz Lab. The lab supports both innovation and development activities for next‑generation RF systems used in automotive radar, robotics, and future communication technologies.

You’ll join a hands‑on engineering innovation environment where we conceptualize, simulate, and characterize advanced mmWave and sub‑THz systems (100 GHz and above) using state‑of‑the‑art high-end equipment.

Tasks

• Perform and analyze RF measurements

• Develop and perform PHY-level simulations

• Develop pre- and post-processing for RF measurements

• Perform electro-magnetic (EM) simulations for passive components

• Develop system-level simulation models for active and passive lab components

• Develop automated test routines for RF measurement setups

• Create (automated) reports for measurement results

• Develop remote control of measurement equipment

• Contribute to the NXP-wide lab automation library

• Develop automated storage of measurement data

• Work closely with lab engineers to improve RF measurement setups, lab automation, and reporting

Requirements

• Student of electrical engineering,  preferably with focus on RF technologies
