DSP & Wireless Comms Internship - 12 months

2 weeks ago

Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom Cambridge Consultants Full time £20,000 - £30,000 per year

Introduction

We develop innovative products at the intersection of high-performance real-time computing and signal processing. We're looking for a 12-month DSP & Wireless Communications Intern to join our collaborative team.

Successful candidates can join us between May- September 2026.
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.

Are you...

  • a talented technologist – with a proactive attitude and a real thirst for building exciting new things and making technology work?
  • a smart developer – who is eager to engage with state-of-the-art Signal Processing algorithms and dive deep into their technical foundations?
  • a keen learner – seizing the opportunity to push at the bounds of your understanding and explore new and exciting areas?

We welcome applications from students currently pursuing a relevant academic degree or research experience, who are keen to gain hands on experience in the industry.

What we can offer you

You will be part of the Signal Processing Department within the Wireless and Digital Services Division. Examples of projects we have worked on in the past are:

  • ultra-reliable communications for satellites,
  • IP block acceleration of Voice Activity Detection
  • development of the communication system for a fleet of moving bots in a challenging indoor environment.

Projects can start off as small, rapid studies and progress towards large multi-disciplinary systems which involve 50 engineers and more. Our work engages with a broad range of industries and applications, but the underlying premise is of developing innovative and bespoke systems that cannot be bought off the shelf.

The range of projects on which we work each come with their own distinct set of challenges. We can offer the opportunity to get involved with everything from first-principles thinking and research through to the design, development and deployment of live systems, providing you with all of the support, mentoring and training you need. You will work as part of a team to achieve high-quality deliveries, compliant with the client's requirements.

You will have the opportunity to play a real part in creating the Cambridge Consultants of tomorrow, working alongside a supportive team, developing our capabilities, and driving the advancement of technology into the unknown.

What you can bring
We're looking for applicants who are currently pursuing a degree in a relevant field such as Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Physics, and has:

  • Demonstrable software skills and experience in programming
  • Strong mathematical aptitude and intuition
  • A passion for engineering and technology
  • An imaginative and inquisitive mind and eagerness to learn new skills

In addition, any experience of the following would be advantageous, but certainly not necessary:

  • Signal processing techniques and transforms (digital filters, Fourier analysis, z-transforms, matrix transforms etc.)
  • Data analysis/modelling using languages such as Python or MATLAB
  • C or other low-level language
  • Working with embedded hardware and tool chains.

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.
