Working Student (f/m/d) Lab Automation

Description

For many applications, there is an ongoing need to make use of higher frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum, which require technological innovations both for development of new products and for testing these products. Therefore, NXP Germany is engaging in the German part of the EU R&D program “important project of common European interest” (IPCEI) for microelectronics.

As part of this program, NXP will build a brand-new laboratory for high frequency technologies in Hamburg. The “THz Lab” will serve as a competence center to define and develop new concepts for test and validation of RF demonstrators, RF systems, and RF solutions in the sub-THz spectrum and beyond (frequency range 100GHz). The THz Lab will be a key player in supporting product development for the 6th generation of mobile communications (6G) within NXP.
