RF Linearizer Design Intern

MACOM•Hamilton Township, NJ

About The Position

The 2027 summer intern project is to develop a highly integrated test platform for measuring and characterizing amplifier modules across center frequency, power, temperature, and signal waveforms. Characterizing performance across this multidimensional test space is essential for validating operation throughout the amplifier’s specified operating conditions. Because the resulting test matrix may contain many conditions and generate substantial measurement data, the intern will develop a scalable test architecture that automates equipment control and data acquisition while efficiently processing, cataloging, and presenting results for engineering reviews. The project spans RF test methodology, high-speed ADC data acquisition, microcontroller communication and control, automated test sequencing, and data-processing and visualization techniques. The 12-week internship includes an individual, well-defined project with set outcome goals, hands-on experience, training and ongoing supervision, an intern webinar series, networking and social events, a project poster session, and formal written feedback.
