  • Basic understanding of RF (e.g., components, measurements)
  • First practical experience in programming (e.g., with Arduino, Raspberry Pi)
  • Good command of spoken and written English and/or German
  • Availability for 5-6 months starting in October 2026
  • This internship must be a mandatory part of your studies

Preferred Qualifications that Set You Apart:
