Lockheed Martin

Aerospace Engineering Intern

January - May 2020 • Littleton, CO

What I liked

I loved how all of the employees at Lockheed Martin were so kind and helpful. The work environment there is so supportive and friendly.

What I wish was different

I unfortunately had my time with Lockheed Martin cut short due to the covid pandemic. It made the last few months of my internship difficult to complete effectively.

Advice

I would advise others to reach out to the people around them and make as many friends and contacts as possible. It is beneficial to do this to get as wide of an experience in a short time as possible.

Finance Intern

May - August 2020 • Fort Worth, TX

What I liked

It was an incredible experience overall. I knew it was going to be difficult for the company to take on interns during this COVID crisis. That being said, they were super professional from start to finish and I felt heavily involved all the time. They did an amazing job utilizing skype and zoom to show me what they were working on, why it mattered to the company, and how to use specific applications to do so. I even made some lasting relationships along the way.

What I wish was different

I wasn't allowed to go into the office due to Covid. All Lockheed Martin employees were required to stay home and log in from your home. I wish I had the opportunity to go into the office because I feel like I could have made more connections and it would have been easier to learn.

Advice

You shouldn't be nervous about your internship. The most important thing I learned is that everyone you're working with, even your boss, doesn't expect you to learn everything in one day. It simply takes time and 3 months inst enough over the summer. Also, take on as many projects as you can. If executed correctly you can gain the trust of your coworkers and boss and hopefully will get a chance to come back or maybe even a full-time offer after school. Lastly, don't just sit there and collect a paycheck, try to learn as much as possible, even you don't end up working for that company you can still take the things you learned and apply them elsewhere.

Electrical Engineering Intern

May 2021 • Stratford, CT

What I liked

The team was really awesome and they liked helping me and getting to know me. There's also an intern design competition that gives you a chance to meet with other interns and work on an interdisciplinary team.

What I wish was different

I worked remote so I didn't get as full of an experience as I probably would have in person.

Advice

Feel free to ask for more work if you're finishing your tasks quickly. It looks good and you're more likely to get a return offer.

Supply Chain Intern

May - August 2021 • Orlando, FL

What I liked

I enjoyed the opportunity to learn new skills and the software that employees use on a daily basis. Additionally, I enjoyed work on the cross functional intern project. It allowed us to interact with people that we did not interact with on a regular basis.

What I wish was different

My internship was remote and while I did learn a lot, there is so much more that could be learnt in person in an office environment.

Advice

Definitely use the opportunity to expand your network and write down all of the projects you worked on during your time there.

Mechanical Engineering Intern

May - August 2021 • Camden, AR

What I liked

The welcoming atmosphere of Lockheed Martin Camden Operations made me feel more comfortable in my transition from college to a real-world setting of what being a mechanical engineer entails. All of my coworkers and managers were very helpful and encouraging but also gave me constructive criticism so that grow and progress in my career field.

What I wish was different

I really enjoyed my experience. I wish we could have been able to visit the sister location in Texas to see how the other side of things operated but due to covid restrictions, we were unable to do so.

Advice

Do not be afraid to find your own projects. Anyone can wait for an assignment to be handed to them, but if you are actively searching for projects or things to improve within the process and are successfully doing so then that will set you apart from the rest.

Student Sr Tech

May - October 2021 • Owego, NY

What I liked

The best part of the internship, besides the vast amount of information learned, was the company's culture. My department was very welcoming and was constantly checking in to make sure I was on the straight and narrow. I would highly recommend working for this company based on the work atmosphere and culture alone.

What I wish was different

If I could do the internship again I wish there could have been more in person interaction with other interns and employees. I think because of Covid-19 there were limited interactions and networking opportunity.

Advice

Go in open minded and take on anything and everything given to you or is a potential project. Doing so ensures you learn, shows your eagerness to work and a valuable adaptable asset, sometimes it also gives a reminded to your employer that you are just as capable as those working alongside you.

What I liked

Amazing networking opportunity, quality management, very skilled and brilliant team. Received real tasks that felt meaningful and challenging to complete.

What I wish was different

I wish the internship would have taken place completely in person, but due to Covid it was mostly remote.

Talk to as many people as you can, complete work early. Receiving a good evaluation at the end is important for getting a follow on offer.

Tool Design Intern

May - August 2022 • Grand Prairie, TX

What I liked

Very open and friendly atmosphere. We worked a 4/10 schedule so I had every Friday off, which was super nice. Was free to ask questions at anytime and reach out to just about anyone who might have a solution. Everyone was legitimately interested in helping me out and I felt integrated into the work community within a few weeks of being there. The work was also really interesting and stimulating. I also enjoyed working in the facility. There was a lot of cool stuff there and it broadened my horizons into what you could do with engineering.

What I wish was different

I wish I had received a more in-depth project to work on in the beginning, but I understand that there just wasn't a suitable work order at the time for a novice engineer.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions and put in the work. Take opportunities you might not originally consider.

June 2022 • Orlando, FL

What I liked

It was super chill and I loved my team.

What I wish was different

I wish we had more opportunities to meet the other interns and see what they all do. I also wish I went on more tours and explored around the facility more

Automation Intern

June 2021 • Lexington, KY

What I liked

The overall enthusiasm and dedication in the work environment made me feel proud to work for Lockheed Martin. I was immediately treated like a part of the team and my development towards my future career goals was a focus throughout my time. The job itself was both challenging and rewarding. I was given all training and resources necessary to be successful but was also challenged to solve problems on my own. After a few months in the job I was trusted to meet with customers and conduct automations entirely on my own and this led to the most useful experience I had in my entire college career.

What I wish was different

I only wish I could’ve started earlier!

Advice

I would encourage a focus on learning during the first couple of months and spend as much time as possible to practice with the softwares. This will be crucial when you’re on your own and have to create automations for customers without assistance from other interns or superiors.
