Pratyush Mallik’s summer internship at Qualcomm deepened his knowledge while providing the opportunity to learn cutting-edge applications.
At Qualcomm, Mallick worked in the role of embedded firmware. In this capacity, Mallick developed, “reliable firmware for ultra-wideband (UWB) chips, which are essential for secure and precise applications like car key systems and UAV tracking,” Mallick explained. “I developed mechanisms for securely updating regulatory databases and gained insights into advanced encryption techniques to protect sensitive data, such as antenna calibration.”
In addition, the internship at Qualcomm exposed Mallick to integrating UWB protocols to support various ranging models. “This ensures the technology delivers reliable and secure communication for these cutting-edge applications.” According to Mallick, “This experience deepened my understanding of reliable firmware for RF coexistence.”
