Internship Signal Processing Engineer information

What does an internship signal processing engineer do?

An Internship Signal Processing Engineer assists in designing, analyzing, and implementing algorithms that process signals such as audio, images, or sensor data. They typically work under the supervision of experienced engineers, supporting projects involving data collection, filtering, feature extraction, and performance evaluation. Interns may use tools like MATLAB, Python, or C++ to develop and test digital signal processing (DSP) solutions. The role provides hands-on experience in applying theoretical knowledge to real-world engineering problems and often includes collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.

What types of projects do internship signal processing engineers typically work on, and how do they collaborate with senior team members?

Internship Signal Processing Engineers often work on real-world projects such as developing algorithms for audio, image, or communication signal processing, and analyzing large datasets to improve existing systems. Interns usually collaborate closely with senior engineers and researchers, who provide mentorship and guidance throughout the design, implementation, and testing phases. Regular team meetings and code reviews are common, creating an environment where interns can learn industry best practices and receive constructive feedback. This structure helps interns build both technical and teamwork skills, laying a strong foundation for future career advancement.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an internship signal processing engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Internship Signal Processing Engineer, you need a strong background in mathematics, digital signal processing theory, and programming skills, often supported by progress toward a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with MATLAB, Python, and signal processing libraries, as well as basic experience with simulation or hardware tools, is typically expected. Analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective teamwork are crucial soft skills for this role. These skills enable interns to contribute to technical projects, solve complex problems, and collaborate efficiently in engineering environments.

TRAVEL: Yes, 10% of the TimeDescription
At Northrop Grumman, our employees have incredible opportunities to work on revolutionary systems that impact people's lives around the world today, and for generations to come. Our pioneering and inventive spirit has enabled us to be at the forefront of many technological advancements in our nation's history - from the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean, to stealth bombers, to landing on the moon. We look for people who have bold new ideas, courage and a pioneering spirit to join forces to invent the future, and have fun along the way. Our culture thrives on intellectual curiosity, cognitive diversity and bringing your whole self to work - and we have an insatiable drive to do what others think is impossible. Our employees are not only part of history, they're making history.
Northrop Grumman Space Systems is seeking a Principal Software Signal Processing Engineer level or a Sr Principal Software Signal Processing Engineer level to join our team supporting our program. This position would be based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This role will work with us on the radar contract developing new radar digital signal processing software in support of identification and tracking of objects in geosynchronous orbit.
Job responsibilities will include, but not be limited to, the following:
  • Designs, develops, documents, tests, and debugs applications software, and systems that contain logical and mathematical solutions.
  • Conducts multidisciplinary research and collaborates with equipment designers and/or hardware engineers in the planning, design, development, and utilization of electronic data processing systems for product and commercial software.
  • Determines computer user needs; analyzes system capabilities to resolve problems on program intent, output requirements, input data acquisition, programming techniques, and controls; prepares operating instructions; designs and develops compilers and assemblers, utility programs, and operating systems.
  • Demonstrated experience developing and optimizing radar signal processing algorithms and pipelines (DSP), including use of common engineering toolchains such as DSP System Toolbox / Signal Processing Toolbox / Phased Array System toolsets.
  • Demonstrated experience with GPGPU acceleration (e.g., CUDA) for performance-critical signal processing and/or analytics workloads.
  • Experience using AI-enabled engineering tooling (e.g., an AI coding assistant) to accelerate development tasks such as code explanation, refactoring, and test generation-while maintaining engineer accountability for reviewed code.

This position can be staffed at the Principal or Sr Principal level based on the basic qualifications below.
Basic Qualifications:
  • Principal Level: 5 years with a Bachelors in Science, 3 years with a Masters in Science degree, and 1 years with the PHD. 4 additional years required in lieu of a degree.
  • Sr Principal: 8 years with a Bachelors in Science, 6 years with a Masters in Science degree, and 3 years with the PHD. 4 additional years required in lieu of a degree.
  • Must have an active U.S. Government Secret security clearance at time of application, current and within scope.
  • Experience with C++, Java, Python and CUDA
  • Experience with Linux
  • Experience with RF Signal Processing
  • Experience with GPU optimization
  • Experience with NVIDIA MatX library
  • Experience with AI Tooling
