Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom Cambridge Consultants Full time £30,000 - £60,000 per year

Introduction
We are looking for enthusiastic engineering students to join the Software Department and contribute to exciting projects in telecommunications and beyond. Cambridge Consultants has a rich history in satellite and cellular communications, and as we expand our capabilities to include innovative new communications systems, we are looking for individuals who can contribute to real world solutions for our clients.

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.

Your role
From day one, you'll be an integral part of our multi-disciplinary development team, tackling real technical challenges while receiving guidance and training from experienced engineers. You'll gain access to designing and developing embedded software to the highest possible standard.

Each project is different, and you will get involved at all stages of the development lifecycle.

We can't talk about everything we do, but here are some of our past projects we get excited about:

  • Delivering 5G broadband from the stratosphere using a revolutionary high-altitude platform (HAP) communication system.
  • Beyond visual line of site (BVLOS) communications to safely control uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) - solving a fundamental challenge for the global drone industry.
  • A low-cost Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) radio module that makes digital broadcast radio accessible to all - especially for the third of the world's population that have no access to the Internet.

What you'll be doing
During your internship, you will likely:

  • Design, develop, and test embedded software for complex systems used in both terrestrial and non-terrestrial communications networks.
  • Contribute to a wide range of projects that span the full software development lifecycle.
  • Collaborate with a multidisciplinary and supportive team, gaining exposure to systems involving digital electronics, FPGAs, RF and optics.
  • Work with industry best practices such as continuous integration, automated testing and analysis, and model-based systems engineering.

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.
  • Are eligible to undertake a 12-month industrial placement as part of their course.
  • Have knowledge of, and experience using, one or more programming languages. We have current projects utilising Python, C/C++, Rust, Go, and Elixir.

In addition, experience in any of the following areas would be advantageous (though not essential)

  • Experience developing embedded software
  • Knowledge of electronics and physical interactions with software
  • Signal processing, data science or AI knowledge

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.
