This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing company on the South coast, with international reach. We are looking for a highly capable, enthusiastic, and personable individual to join our team for a summer placement. We are specifically seeking a student currently at university graduating from 2023 onwards with knowledge of the Python, to partake in a group project to help write some Python scripts to verify some of our 5G products. The Intern will be assigned a mentor for the duration of the placement who will act as their technical guide. They will also get to meet members of the Executive team at AccelerComm to expand their knowledge in 5G industry.
The Intern will write a technical application (in python) with different elements for a turnkey 5G NR (New Radio) RF Test System.
Core code block ie main.
This will call / call on various files (xml) / parameter files) xml) / calibration data files (eg csv) / script files etc.
Its purpose is
- Work from architecture specifications
- Work from test specifications
- Receive expert guidance
- To control automated RF test equipment
- Setup signal stimulus and signal measurement equipment
- Calibrate accurately RF measurement paths
- Execute ‘test cases’ to measure a ‘device under test’
- Produce a result file in xml
- Produce a ‘parser’ to take the xml to text (separate application, can be done separately/in parallel)
Interns are encouraged to consider the existing ideas and challenge them if required.
This will be an excellent leading edge technology project with results and progress can be seen and measured by the persons undertaking the work.
