Intern / Graduation Student – EMC & Wireless Engineering

Are you a curious and motivated student (Bachelor or Master) with a passion for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), wireless communications or RF technology? Then we have the perfect opportunity for you! At Kiwa’s EMC & Wireless Lab you will enter an inspiring learning environment where technology, innovation and hands‑on practice come together.

Overview:

As an intern or graduation student in our lab, you’ll work on real‑world technical projects that contribute to the reliability, safety and performance of electronic systems. You will engage with sectors such as automotive, telecom and medical technology. Depending on your study level and interests, we offer a diverse range of assignments, including advanced wireless communication test set‑ups, RF signalling and protocol analysis.

Your typical daily tasks may include:

• Setting up and executing test configurations for EMC and wireless systems (emissions, immunity, antenna testing)
• Preparing and assembling cables, connectors and test components
• Performing and analysing measurements with spectrum and network analysers
• Supporting documentation, reporting and interpretation of test results
• Developing, testing or simulating wireless communication protocols and antenna designs
• Automating measurement processes or data‑processing workflows using tools such as Python or MATLAB
• Conducting research into interference sources, propagation models or spectrum usage
• Contributing to knowledge‑sharing via internal reports, publications or presentations

Within our lab you may also get the opportunity to work with advanced signalling test‑equipment and high‑frequency wireless technologies — for example in testing 5G/NR signalling, mm‑wave communications or complex RF link setups — giving you direct hands‑on experience with cutting‑edge wireless systems.

Responsibilities:

• You are enrolled in a relevant technical programme at Bachelor (HBO) or Master (University) level
• You have an affinity for electronics, communications and/or RF technology
• You work precisely, are eager to learn and show initiative
• You can work independently while also thriving in a team environment
• You surprise us with your fresh and innovative ideas

Qualifications:

• A good working environment! You become part of an enthusiastic and motivated team
• A dedicated internship/graduation supervisor who guides you to get the most out of your assignment
• A learning‑rich environment within an international and dynamic organisation
• Value for your contributions — including a monthly internship allowance of € 350 (for MBO) or € 500 (for HBO/WO) (based on a minimum of 32 hours)
• Exposure to top‑tier laboratory infrastructure: our Netherlands‑based lab is ISO 17025‑accredited and serves global wireless, EMC and electrical safety markets.
• Experience in a lab environment supporting the full wireless / RF product chain: from design and simulation to measurement, certification and market deployment.
