The posting

Introduction

The RF Systems Group is responsible for delivering designs that range from small RF sub-modules through to complete wireless systems. The collaborative group works alongside other disciplines to deliver these services to clients and are therefore fortunate to work closely with a wide range of groups across the company.

Cambridge Consultants has deep expertise in wireless communication technologies, with one of the largest independent wireless development teams in the world. We work across the entire wireless landscape - from high-volume consumer applications such as portable internet-based devices, through to professional high-performance systems such as the air traffic control radios used to govern the US airspace. The markets that we address include telecommunications, healthcare, industrial, satellite, consumer and automotive. This breadth of wireless activity provides tremendous variety to our team.

Successful candidates can join us on a 12-week summer placement.

There is no deadline for this role, as we recruit on a rolling basis. Once the position is filled, we will close the advert. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

What we can offer

As an RF Engineer Intern, with support from your mentors and peers, you will participate in the development of new ground-breaking wireless products, from initial concept through to product specification, design and verification. The role involves contributing to RF systems design, board-level RF circuit design and design validation of our clients’ products.

You will have the opportunity to work on ground-breaking wireless designs, for example:

  • Developing a novel air-interface and bespoke communication systems for the Ocado Smart Platform controlling hundreds of robots in grocery distribution centres
  • Prototyping the world’s largest commercial airborne antenna to deliver superfast 5G to every corner of the globe
  • Developing the Iridium Extreme satellite phone, the first truly-global ‘push-to-talk’ mobile communications system

Some of your responsibilities will include:

  • Component selection, board level RF circuit design and laboratory-based design validation
  • Prepare component level RF systems specifications for wireless systems, under supervision
  • Participate in the regulatory approval and/or field based design validation of our clients’ products
  • Where appropriate, create novel design solutions that will be of particular interest to our clients
  • As required, present designs, results and conclusions
  • Work as part of a close-knit, multi-disciplinary project team focused on delivering design solutions to our clients

What you can bring

We’re looking for a student currently in their penultimate year pursuing a degree in a relevant field, such as engineering, electronics, computer science, mathematics, or physics, and eligible for an industrial placement year.

You’re someone who:

  • Has an interest in electronics hardware design and radio frequency or microwave/mmWave design.
  • Communicates effectively and enjoys working as part of a team.
  • Is passionate about current technology and stays up to date with new developments.

Developing innovative and imaginative solutions requires an inquisitive approach and a willingness to tackle complex problems. You should be keen to learn new skills and open to new approaches. Good oral and written communication skills will be key to interacting effectively within Cambridge Consultants and our clients’ organisations.

Experience with any of the following would be advantageous, though not essential:

  • Knowledge of wireless communication systems
  • Competence in driving RF test equipment
  • Programming with Python

Please ensure your CV includes your A Level (or equivalent) subjects and grades, as well as any relevant university modules.

Covering statements are advantageous though by no means a necessity.

By submitting an application to Cambridge Consultants, you confirm that the information provided in this application, together with any supporting documentation, is true, complete, and accurate to the best of your knowledge and belief. You understand that any false statement, misleading information, or material omission may render you liable to disqualification from the recruitment process, withdrawal of any offer of employment, or dismissal without notice if discovered following appointment.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
