What does an antenna design intern do?

An Antenna Design Intern assists in designing, testing, and optimizing antennas for various applications, such as telecommunications, satellites, and wireless devices. They work under the guidance of experienced engineers to conduct simulations, analyze performance data, and help build or prototype antenna models. Interns often use specialized software and laboratory equipment to perform measurements and troubleshoot designs. This role provides valuable hands-on experience and helps interns understand the fundamentals of radio frequency (RF) engineering and antenna theory.

What are some typical projects and responsibilities for an antenna design intern during their internship?

As an Antenna Design Intern, you'll usually work closely with experienced RF engineers on projects such as designing, simulating, and testing antenna prototypes. Your daily tasks may include using electromagnetic simulation software, analyzing test data, and assisting in the fabrication of antenna components. Interns often participate in team meetings to discuss designs, troubleshoot issues, and learn about the integration of antennas into larger systems. This hands-on experience helps interns develop practical skills and gain insight into the end-to-end antenna development process.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an antenna design intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Antenna Design Intern, you need a solid understanding of electromagnetics, RF engineering principles, and coursework or experience in antenna theory, often supported by progress toward a degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Familiarity with simulation tools like HFSS, CST, or MATLAB, as well as basic laboratory measurement equipment, is typically expected. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help interns contribute to team projects and problem-solving. These abilities ensure accurate antenna designs, clear documentation, and productive collaboration within engineering teams.

What is the difference between Antenna Design Intern vs RF Engineering Intern?

AspectAntenna Design InternRF Engineering Intern
Required CredentialsEnrolled in Electrical Engineering or related field, basic knowledge of RF principlesEnrolled in Electrical or RF Engineering, similar foundational knowledge
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, design teams, collaborative projectsTesting labs, design teams, hardware development
Industry UsageTelecommunications, aerospace, defenseWireless communications, consumer electronics, defense

Both roles typically require a background in electrical engineering and involve working with RF systems. An Antenna Design Intern focuses specifically on antenna structures and radiation patterns, while an RF Engineering Intern covers broader RF system design, testing, and integration. The roles often overlap in skills and industry applications, but the antenna intern specializes in antenna-specific projects.

Job description

Antenna Engineering Intern (Summer 2027)
Department: Internship
Employment Type: Internship
Location: Redondo Beach
Compensation: $32.00 / hour
Description
As an Antenna Engineering Intern at Impulse, your core responsibility will be to support design, test, and integration of antenna systems for spacecraft communication systems and GNSS receivers. You will work with antenna engineers, RF engineers, avionics electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, and others to develop performant and maintainable solutions. Your contributions will range from scripting for early antenna design to integration testing to supporting antennas at the vehicle level.
*This internship is 12 weeks long from May/June through August/September 2027
Responsibilities
  • Perform antenna testing using test chambers and analyze test data
  • Analyze real-world performance of antennas, debug antenna issues on completed vehicles, and investigate methods to improve vehicle radiated performance
  • Support RF and avionics teams by performing EM simulations of PCBs and other vehicle structures for desense analysis, co-existence simulations, and transmission loss
  • Contribute to design of antennas for Impulse's future vehicles
  • Work closely with RF engineers and mechanical engineers to integrate antenna designs into RF front ends and vehicle structures
  • Design mechanical antenna support structures including mounting fixtures, hats, and other test systems

Minimum Qualifications
  • In progress Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related
  • 1+ year experience in antenna, RF, or electrical hardware design, bringup, and test, including lab work and university projects
  • Experience writing Python, MATLAB, or another scripting tool
  • Familiarity with electromagnetic concepts such as impedance matching, s-parameters, microwave network analysis, and power handling

Preferred Skills and Experience
  • Experience doing RF system-level testing in the lab using equipment such as spectrum analyzers, power meters, oscilloscopes, and noise figure analyzers.
  • Familiarity with a PCB design software such as KiCad, Altium, or Cadence
  • Experience working closely with mechanical and vehicle engineers to integrate antenna or electrical designs with mechanical hardware
  • Experience analyzing antenna systems in the lab (s-parameters, isolation, radiation patterns, propagation effects, etc)
  • Familiarity with 3D EM simulation tools such as CST, HFSS, ADS, FEKO, COMSOL, or Cenos
  • Experience in a start-up or agile development environment

Additional Requirements:
  • Willing and able to work on-site in Redondo Beach, CA for the duration of the internship
  • This role may require overtime hours; interns are eligible for overtime pay.
