Small Cells Hardware Intern, Digital Team

June - August 2018 • Naperville, IL

What I liked

Team members were friendly and helpful. Most of the people I met seemed genuinely happy to meet the fresh, young faces of the interns. (The general demographic of the company was older with kids. The age difference and maturity may have influenced this impression as compared to the younger members of a tech company in the city.) My workspace was in a lab. It was enjoyable to be among the busy hum of scopes and computers. A few stations down, a group might be testing a setup with a multitude of gadgets.

What I wish was different

I wish I had gotten more technical experience. Most of my tasks involved writing bash or Python scripts to automate testing. I wish I had gotten to be involved with the FPGA designs, but it seemed like the timing of the development process did not align with my internship.

Advice

Make a point to build relationships with your co-workers (I know that it's hard to not feel content with befriending your intern peers). An internship is not just about getting the work done but developing your experiences and getting exposure to new technologies. It's up to you to advocate for new tasks once you complete the old, to be inquisitive, and to ask questions.
