Description
For many applications, there is an ongoing need to make use of higher frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum, which require technological innovations both for development of new products and for testing these products. Therefore, NXP Germany is engaging in the German part of the EU R&D program “important project of common European interest” (IPCEI) for microelectronics.
As part of this program, NXP has built up a brand-new competence center for high‑frequency technologies: the Terahertz Lab. The lab supports both innovation and development activities for next‑generation RF systems used in automotive radar, robotics, and future communication technologies.
You’ll join a hands‑on engineering innovation environment where we conceptualize, simulate, and characterize advanced mmWave and sub‑THz systems (100 GHz and above) using state‑of‑the‑art high-end equipment.
Tasks
Perform and analyze RF measurements
Develop and perform PHY-level simulations
Develop pre- and post-processing for RF measurements
Perform electro-magnetic (EM) simulations for passive components
Develop system-level simulation models for active and passive lab components
Develop automated test routines for RF measurement setups
Create (automated) reports for measurement results
Develop remote control of measurement equipment
Contribute to the NXP-wide lab automation library
Develop automated storage of measurement data
Work closely with lab engineers to improve RF measurement setups, lab automation, and reporting
Requirements
Student of electrical engineering, preferably with focus on RF technologies
Experience in working with Python or MATLAB, preferably in the scope of electrical engineering and signal processing
Experience with RF measurements and equipment (oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzer, power sources, etc.)
Experience with EM- and system-level simulation software, preferably Ansys HFSS and PathWave SystemVue
Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail and good analytical skills
Structured, well organized, self-motivated, and flexible
Team player with good communication skills, fluent English (spoken and written)

Application documents
Please attach a current transcript of records to your application. For Master's students, both the current Master's transcript and the Bachelor's transcript are required. Applications that include these documents will be given priority during the review process.
Please note:
The successful candidate may/will be responsible for security related tasks.
The assignment may/will be in scope of security certifications, therefore a conscious and reliable way of working is necessary.
