Radio and Antenna Engineering Intern
Because we are not doing in-office interviews and all of our positions are currently remote, we have a new interview process on Google Forms where you can choose a position that you are interested in applying for and record a quick 1-3 minute video on your experience and why you would be a good fit for the position. Please be sure to share with us previous or current projects related to the position. Don't spend too much time on it, it should be quick and easy just to give us an idea of your background and why you would be a good fit. You can find more information about our internships at https://objectsecurity.com/internships/ and the different internship positions available.
The link to Part 1 of the Google Form application can be found at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf7WpHoW3P1j0TGSlN0q11Xy0pCAOEuR9lXiiBNCvyy1B3SwQ/viewform . You must fill out the Google Forms to be considered for the position!
Our Company:
ObjectSecurity is a small company in downtown San Diego (but we are currently remote!). We have traditionally focused on cybersecurity but have branched out into 5G cybersecurity, automated binary analysis, data analytics, and AI/ML in recent years. Our award-winning, patented security product is OpenPMF, which uses cool models and algorithms to make it easier to author and maintain fine-grained, dynamic access control policies.
We are doing exciting other product developments, including a supply chain risks analysis product which takes an SAP data dump and turns it into a graph DB, and then runs analytics over it to identify risks. Another cool project is an "AI hacker" development, which uses AI to simulate a hacker.
Position Overview:
We have several unclassified government projects that we work on that relate to cybersecurity. You would be working on R&D related to analyzing 5G networks and designing microcontroller systems with antennas.
We are looking for an interns who are seniors in undergrad, graduate students and PhD students who have a broad understanding or application of advanced principles, theories, and concepts in electromagnetic and antenna theory. We are also looking for students who would be able to start within the next month (our internships are remote and flexible around school schedules).
This is the initial internship project, but depending on how long it takes to complete, there is always room to grow with our company and move on to other projects. There’s also scope for moving into other projects in the fields of machine learning, AI, information modeling, analytics, cybersecurity and more. The sky is the limit with our company.
Qualifications:
1) Broad understanding or application of advanced principles, theories, and concepts in electromagnetic and antenna theory
2) Experience and advanced knowledge in designing, building, and testing microcontroller systems with antennas
3) Detailed understanding of RF systems, 3G/4G cellular networks, and antenna selection
4) Experience in a laboratory environment working with SDRs or FPGAs, GNURadio, and associated test equipment
5) Experience with Linux-based DSP systems that span across CPUs, FPGAs, GPUs, SDR platforms
6) Strong background in scientific programming using languages such as C, C++, Fortran, Julia, or Python
7) Available 8-16 hours per week virtually
Learning Objectives:
By working directly on our hands-on projects, students will gain valuable experience and improve upon their skills as evidenced through their weekly projects.
