Software Engineering Co-Op

May - August 2022 • Philadelphia, PA

What I liked

The work culture at Lutron beats no other. Company promotes excellent work life balance, and co-workers were excellent mentors. People are always willing to help you understand concepts and bring you up to speed with projects. Work felt like a fun group project and less like a job.

What I wish was different

Nothing!

Advice

Ask lots of questions! Don't be stuck on a problem for 6 hours that can be resolved by talking to a co-worker for 5 minutes.

Manufacturing Engineering Intern

June - August 2021 • Coopersburg, PA

What I liked

The workplace is wonderful and everybody is very nice and welcoming at Lutron. I was able to learn a ton about the processes used and spent a lot of time in the factory measuring the processes.

What I wish was different

My project was quite different than what I thought it would be, since I didn't get to participate in designing new processes or work with product development teams. Instead, I was doing research on improving internal process planning tools, which is a different skillset than what I am interested in.

Advice

Manufacturing engineering at Lutron is much more industrial engineering focused, if you want to work on the machinery used for manufacturing, look at the Tool & Test department. R&D interns used a ton of the coursework in their relevant field.

Supply Chain Engineering Intern

June - August 2019 • Coopersburg, PA

What I liked

My project had a real impact on the company and the operations team was open and welcome to helping me every step of the way. There is also a large group of interns that work in Coopersburg and since they held lots of events for us to get to know each other I got to make so many great friends.

What I wish was different

Nothing, I really enjoyed the experience.

Advice

To succeed you must ask lots of questions to get past the learning curve in the beginning. Everyone is willing to help, so if you speak up there will always be people there to assist.

Embedded Software Engineer

January - August 2017 • Allentown, PA

What I liked

Had hands-on meaningful work developing code that was integrated and run in customer products.

What I wish was different

There is not much in the way of rotation programs for new full-time employees. The location was okay, but definitely not for everyone as it's rather rural.

Advice

Make sure you understand the why of what you did too, you'll need to know for your final presentation in front of senior engineers.
