Antenna Engineering Intern (Spring 2027)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where content exists. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. We must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We must preserve all substantive info. We have description paragraph: "As an Antenna Engineering Intern at Impulse, your core responsibility will be to support design, test, and integration of antenna systems for spacecraft communication systems and GNSS receivers. You will work with antenna engineers, RF engineers, avionics electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, and others to develop performant and maintainable solutions. Your contributions will range from scripting for early antenna design to integration testing to supporting antennas at the vehicle level. This internship is 12 weeks long from January to May 2027" That's about the role. Could be "About the role". Also "Responsibilities" list. Responsibilities bullet list: - Perform antenna testing using test chambers and analyze test data - Analyze real-world performance of antennas, debug antenna issues on completed vehicles, and investigate methods to improve vehicle radiated performance - Support RF and avionics teams by performing EM simulations of PCBs and other vehicle structures for desense analysis, co-existence simulations, and transmission loss - Contribute to design of antennas for Impulse’s future vehicles - Work closely with RF engineers and mechanical engineers to integrate antenna designs into RF front ends and vehicle structures - Design mechanical antenna support structures including mounting fixtures, hats, and other test systems Minimum Qualifications: list: - In progress Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related - 1+ year experience in antenna, RF, or electrical hardware design, bringup, and test, including lab work and university projects - Experience writing Python, MATLAB, or another scripting tool - Familiarity with electromagnetic concepts such as impedance matching, s-parameters, microwave network analysis, and power handling Preferred Skills And Experience: list: - Experience doing RF system-level testing in the lab using equipment such as spectrum analyzers, power meters, oscilloscopes, and noise figure analyzers. - Familiarity with a PCB design software such as KiCad, Altium, or Cadence - Experience working closely with mechanical and vehicle engineers to integrate antenna or electrical designs with mechanical hardware - Experience analyzing antenna systems in the lab (s-parameters, isolation, radiation patterns, propagation effects, etc) - Familiarity with 3D EM simulation tools such as CST, HFSS, ADS, FEKO, COMSOL, or Cenos - Experience in a start-up or agile development environment Additional Requirements: Willing and able to work on-site in Redondo Beach, CA for the duration of the internship. This role may require overtime hours; interns are eligible for overtime pay. Additional Information: Compensation bands are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual level and base pay is determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related skills, education, experience, technical capabilities and internal equity. In addition to base salary, for full-time hires, you may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of stock options, and access to medical, vision & dental coverage as well as access to a 401(k) retirement plan. To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. Learn more about the ITAR here. Impulse Space is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment with Impulse Space is governed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced in any manner by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability or any other legally protected status. We need to remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate, legal, ITAR maybe? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". So we should remove the ITAR paragraph and EEO statement. Also remove "Additional Information" maybe if it's just boilerplate? But it contains compensation details: "Compensation bands are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual level and base pay is determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related skills, education, experience, technical capabilities and internal equity. In addition to base salary, for full-time hires, you may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of stock options, and access to medical, vision & dental coverage as well as access to a 401(k) retirement plan." This is substantive about compensation and benefits. However we must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state compensation info (though not a specific number). It says compensation bands determined etc. It also mentions benefits: long-term incentives, stock options, medical/vision/dental, 401(k). So we could include a Benefits section. Pay: we have compensation: $32.00 / hour given at top. So we have explicit pay. So we should include Pay section with that. Schedule: we have internship length: 12 weeks long from January to May 2027. That's schedule info. So include Schedule section. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual info. Thus sections: About the role (description paragraph), Responsibilities (ul), Requirements? Could combine Minimum Qualifications as Requirements? The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to use. We have Minimum Qualifications (could be Requirements or Qualifications). We have Preferred Skills And Experience (could be Skills). We have Additional Requirements (on-site, overtime) maybe part of Requirements. We'll combine. We must not repeat job title. Use

for each section heading. We need to preserve all substantive info. So include: - About the role: the description paragraph. - Responsibilities: list as above. - Requirements: maybe combine Minimum Qualifications + Additional Requirements (on-site, overtime). Could also include "Willing and able to work on-site in Redondo Beach, CA for the duration of the internship" and "This role may require overtime hours; interns are eligible for overtime pay." - Qualifications: maybe we could treat Minimum Qualifications as Qualifications, but we already used Requirements. Could also have Qualifications for education etc. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's map: Option: Requirements = Minimum Qualifications (education, experience, scripting, EM concepts). Qualifications = Preferred Skills And Experience. Skills = maybe we could combine? But we have both headings. Could use Requirements for minimum qualifications, Qualifications for preferred skills, Skills for maybe technical tools? But we have limited. Better: Use Requirements for Minimum Qualifications, Qualifications for Preferred Skills And Experience, Skills for maybe "Experience doing RF system-level testing..."? That seems overlapping. Alternatively, we could skip Skills if not distinct. But instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Preferred Skills And Experience into Qualifications, and not use Skills heading. Or we could use Skills for the list of tools (Python, MATLAB, PCB design software, 3D EM simulation tools). But that's splitting. Given we have both Preferred Skills And Experience and Minimum Qualifications, we can map: - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (education, experience, scripting, EM concepts) - Qualifications: Preferred Skills And Experience (list) - Skills: maybe we could omit if not needed. But we have heading Skills available; we could put something like "Experience with RF test equipment, PCB design software, 3D EM simulation tools" but that's already in Qualifications. To avoid thin sections, maybe we omit Skills heading entirely. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we can omit Skills if we don't have distinct content. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include Benefits: from Additional Information: long-term incentives, stock options, medical, vision & dental, 401(k). Also maybe mention overtime pay? That's more Pay. Pay: $32.00 / hour. Schedule: 12 weeks long from January to May 2027. Also location: Redondo Beach given in header but not needed as heading. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, ITAR, etc. Now craft HTML.
