FPGA/DSP Engineering Intern

FPGA/DSP Engineering Intern

Responsibilities

This is an exciting new opportunity for an undergraduate to intern within our RF & Electrical Engineering department assisting with digital logic design using the VHDL language, as applied to Digital Signal Processing and communications applications. This summer internship is a continuous ten-week program, starting mid-May through mid-August. Schedule is flexible to accommodate academic schedule. This is a full-time nonexempt position where the undergraduate will gain valuable experience working on real-world complex engineering tasks. The pay will be commensurate with experience and level of education.

General Responsibilities

Under limited supervision, working on non-routine projects with general instruction and advanced projects with detailed instructions, this intern will be expected to:

• Assist with the simulation and analysis of digital signal processing architectures as related to digital communications.
• Perform simulation and test of candidate architectures using VHDL simulation and synthesis tools.
• Configure and run physical system tests using evaluation hardware and measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators.
• Assist in the analysis, investigation, solution, and documentation of problems.
• Assist in the development, review, and archival of electronic and hard copy documentation as required.
• Participate in selected engineering experiments, tests, and reviews.
• Responsible for observing all laws, regulations and other applicable obligations wherever and whenever business is conducted on behalf of the Company.
• Expected to work in a safe manner in accordance with established operating procedures and practices.
• Perform other duties as assigned or required.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Candidates should be at least a junior in their undergraduate studies in an engineering or related field of study: electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science.
• Knowledgeable in digital logic implementation including FPGA technology and the VHDL language.
• Knowledge of signal processing fundamentals including sampling theory and FIR filters.
• Candidate preference to work in the Defense and/or RF Microwave industry is preferred.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Good Microsoft Office Suite capabilities.
• Ability to analyze data and provide innovative solutions to technical challenges.
• Due to the nature of our work, US Person status is required.
