About the role#
LATYS is seeking a highly motivated graduate student to join our engineering team as an RF Systems and Antenna Design Intern. This role offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of electromagnetic theory, antenna engineering, RF hardware, and next-generation wireless system design. You will contribute to the development, testing, optimization, and validation of advanced Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) panels for various wireless communication applications.
What you'll do#
- Participate in the design and optimization of RIS-based RF and antenna systems.
- Support the development of new RIS panel architectures.
- Analyze and troubleshoot performance limitations in existing RIS prototypes.
- Perform electromagnetic and antenna simulations using industry-standard software.
- Conduct RF and antenna measurements and assist in experimental validation activities.
- Analyze measurement results and compare them with simulation and theoretical predictions.
- Support antenna characterization activities, including radiation pattern, gain, efficiency, and impedance measurements.
- Document technical findings and contribute to internal reports and project deliverables.
- Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering and research teams.
What you'll need#
- Currently enrolled in a Master's or PhD program in Electrical Engineering, Electromagnetics, RF Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong understanding of electromagnetic theory, RF circuits, antennas, and wireless communication fundamentals.
- Experience with antenna design and electromagnetic simulation tools (such as CST Studio Suite or HFSS).
- Familiarity with RF measurement equipment, including vector network analyzers (VNA), spectrum analyzers, signal generators, or anechoic chamber measurements.
- Experience using Python for data analysis and simulation.
- Knowledge of phased arrays, beamforming, metasurfaces, and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces.
- Hands-on experience with RF prototyping, PCB-based antenna implementation, or laboratory testing.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Location & details#
- Location: Montréal, Quebec, Canada.
- Modality: On-site.
- Term: 12 months (part-time).
- Status: Paid internship.
