Job DescriptionWould you like an opportunity to explore how artificial intelligence can be applied to advanced cellular communication systems?

We are excited to offer an excellent opportunity for a talented student who is passionate about exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and wireless communication systems. This internship will provide hands-on experience in the design, modeling, and verification of advanced cellular communication systems, with a focus on leveraging AI and machine learning (ML) techniques to optimize their performance.

As MediaTek’s successful placement student, you will work as part of a small (but outstanding) R&D team that is responsible for driving innovation in advanced cellular communication systems, starting from the definition of new communication systems standards up to the design and verification of modem chipsets implementing these new cellular protocols.

This is a fantastic opportunity to gain exposure to new cellular communication standards such as 5G/6G, allowing you to understand how these new communication standards are applied in the design and implementation of the devices used by consumers to exchange information over these wireless links. Using a combination of theoretical analysis, architecture design and software simulations, you will be involved in the modeling of the user device at the system level and the interpretation of key performance indicators. You will explore how machine learning and artificial intelligence can be leveraged to further improve the performance of the user device. This is also a great opportunity to develop your programming/scripting proficiency and apply these skills to the development of complex simulation environments.

You will…

•Be a great problem solver/ creative thinker with strong analytical skills

•Be someone who enjoys picking up new skills quickly, through informal learning
•Be self-motivated and able to work both in a team and autonomously

•Possess good written and verbal communication skills

•Have programming experience (ideally in Python, C or C++)

•Be familiar with artificial intelligence and machine learning concepts
RequirementIn addition, one or more of the below would be brilliant (but not essential).

•Good mathematical skills.

•Familiarity with any wireless communication system.

•Familiarity with machine learning frameworks such as Tensor Flow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn.

•Experience with data analysis and visualization tools

What we’ll offer you in return.

•Convenient location (Cambourne), very close to Cambridge and served by very frequent bus services from Cambridge.

•Excellent and varied experience working on real projects in a leading, global, high-tech company.

•Opportunity to work with skilled engineers, as well as with other interns

Duration

The placement will begin in 2025 and we can be flexible about the start date. The length of the internship will need to be between 9 to 12 months long.

Location

This internship will be at our Cambourne, Cambridge shire office, based 9 miles outside Cambridge city Centre (with frequent direct bus services). Cambridge is also conveniently located within one hour from Central London, four main London airports and The Eurostar.
