What is a DSP Intern?

A DSP (Digital Signal Processing) Intern is a temporary position where students or recent graduates work on signal processing tasks such as filtering, modulation, and data analysis. They typically assist in developing algorithms, performing simulations, and optimizing signal processing techniques for applications in audio, communications, or image processing. The role often requires proficiency in programming languages like MATLAB, Python, or C++. Interns gain hands-on experience by working with senior engineers on real-world projects to enhance their technical skills.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a DSP Intern?

To thrive as a DSP (Direct Support Professional) Intern, you generally need a background in human services, psychology, or a related field, and a genuine interest in supporting individuals with disabilities. Familiarity with person-centered planning tools, incident documentation systems, and sometimes certifications like CPR/First Aid are valuable. Exceptional patience, active listening, and effective communication skills help interns build trust and rapport with clients and colleagues. These capabilities are vital as they promote a safe, supportive, and empowering environment for those receiving care.

What does a DSP Intern do?

As a DSP Intern, you can expect to assist individuals with daily living activities, support their community involvement, and help implement care and behavioral plans under the supervision of experienced staff. You may participate in team meetings, contribute to goal-setting sessions, and learn to document progress according to organizational standards. The role often offers a mix of direct client interaction and administrative tasks, giving you a well-rounded view of the profession. This internship is an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience, develop critical skills, and explore potential career paths in the human services field.

If you have already graduated from a four-year university, please apply to be an Associate Engineer.
Role
  • Design signal processing for custom software defined radio hardware (ex. channelization, equalization, PA linearization, gain control, carrier synchronization, symbol mapping, framing, channel coding/FEC, etc)
  • Work closely with FPGA developers to implement and test the signal processing on radio hardware
  • Model the end-to-end radio system from earth to space, and back.
  • Drive radio architecture trade studies, run link budgets, optimize the radio system for maximum performance for dozens of markets and use cases around the world
Requirements
  • A passion for working in a fast-paced environment and constantly learning
  • Strong fundamentals in "signals and systems" (basic transforms, filters, aliasing, analysis in both continuous and discrete domains, interpolation, decimation, etc)
  • Strong fundamentals in digital communications (modulation, coding, synchronization, fading, doppler, multiple access, channel capacity, etc)
  • Familiar with software development (some experience writing software for DSP, MCU, and/or FPGA, experience in one or more scripting languages)
  • Familiar with analog concepts (amplifiers, analog filters, gain and delay variation, reflections, compression, etc)
  • Experience working with signal generator, signal analyzer, network analyzer, oscilloscope, etc
