Systems Engineering Co-op

May - August 2023 • Palmdale, CA

What I liked

I liked the opportunities I had to interact with all programs and departments. Lockheed invested in me by allowing me to participate in many trainings. They provided a strong network for their co-ops. Tours, lectures, and socials were held for co-ops to network. The compensation was also a perk.

What I wish was different

The onboarding process had some bumps, but I onboarded during a transition period in the HR platform they used. Working for a large company has its perks including tuition reimbursement, pay, and others. However, one issue is there are many accounts, applications, programs and other services that need to be set up and learned.

Advice

It is very important to communicate clearly. A lot of technical and complex information needs to be communicated which is hard to do at first. I also recommend setting up meetings with people who have had experiences you want. They are almost always willing to talk and offer advice.

Systems Engineering Internship

May 2021 • Littleton, CO

What I liked

I really enjoyed the friendly culture at Lockheed Martin. Everyone is willing to help you with any questions you may have. I also liked the many opportunities to network and explore ranges of job areas you may be interested in.

What I wish was different

I wish there were more opportunities for tours and application skills workshops. For example, teaching some common coding functions/solutions or 3D modeling software learning opportunities.

Advice

Ask lots of questions. You are at an internship to learn, gain experience and network. Make the effort to challenge yourself and explore any other opportunities you may be interested in.

Radar Systems Engineer Intern

May - August 2023 • Moorestown, NJ

What I liked

I loved how integrated I was into my team. Working so closely with the team meant I knew exactly who I could go for to get help and who I could shadow if I didn't have any pending work. I also got the opportunity to work with a second team to diversify my experience.

What I wish was different

Advice

Don't be afraid to talk to other people and always ask for help when you need it. Also, don't be afraid to ask for more work. I wasn't always given enough work to do, but if you want the most out of your experience, you can shadow others or just learn from the available presentations.
