RF Engineer Intern - Quantum
Contribute to the RF architecture of a high-density quantum control platform within the Quantum Engineering Solutions (QES) R&D team.
Originally posted 12 November 2026 by the employer.
About the role
As part of the Quantum Engineering Solutions (QES) R&D team, you will contribute to the RF architecture of a high-density quantum control platform.
What you'll do
- Evaluate RF and microwave components through datasheet analysis, simulation, and laboratory measurements.
- Develop structured test plans and automated characterization methods.
- Compare candidate solutions against performance, integration, cost, power, and scalability requirements.
- Document findings and collaborate with RF, hardware, FPGA, and software engineers to translate measurement results into component recommendations and architecture trade-offs.
What you'll need
- Currently pursuing an MS in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- Understanding of RF fundamentals, including impedance, transmission lines, S-parameters, gain, noise figure, linearity, and frequency response.
- Understanding of signal processing, including filtering, resampling, digital up conversion, and digital down conversion.
- Hands-on experience with electronic measurement equipment such as vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes, or power meters.
- Ability to develop structured test plans, analyze measurement data, and compare components against technical requirements and design trade-offs.
Nice to have
- Pursuing an MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- Coursework or project experience in circuit design, signal processing, RF systems, electromagnetic theory, and signal integrity.
- Experience characterizing RF components such as amplifiers, mixers, attenuators, filters, switches, couplers, synthesizers, or data converters.
- Experience using Python for instrument automation, data analysis, and visualization.
- Base knowledge in quantum computing.

How we counted: 266 open RF/Wireless Engineering (RF Frontend) roles from 36 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 12 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Analog & Mixed-Signal family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
