Irene de Gruijter
RF Design Engineer, Wupatec, Toulouse
Irene de Gruijter graduated with a degree in Telecommunications Engineering from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. During her studies, she spent a year at the University of New Mexico (USA) studying Computer Science and Electrical Engineering courses. After this, she worked at Thales in the Netherlands, focusing on radiofrequency (RF) laboratory work. During this time, she took online classes at California State University - Long Beach to deepen her knowledge of communication systems and to complement her technical background with business-related courses.
She then pursued a Master’s degree in Embedded Systems at ENSEEIHT-INSA in Toulouse, France. For the past two years, Irene has been contributing to Wupatec, working on the design and development of advanced RF Front-End (RFFE) solutions for telecommunications and space applications. Her work is centered on RF power amplifier development — with a focus on efficiency and wideband operation in FR1 and emerging FR3 bands.
