Reviews

Ancillary Systems Engineering Intern

June 2021 - August 2021 • San Diego, CA

“Their internship program is highly organized. The people are fantastic, all very nice and helpful. The pay is better than expected for an internship. The office and assembly building and testing facilities (got a tour even though I was remote) are awesome. Very communicative, learned a lot about CFD, team project development, working with a partner, developing models, and maintaining a schedule. Shoutout to the Ancillary Strategy Group of SPE in Kearny Mesa.”

Manufacturing Engineering Intern

June 2020 - August 2020 • San Diego, CA

“The hiring manager for manufacturing engineering at Solar Turbines is very nice and he worked hard to let us manufacturing engineering interns work on site 3 days a week during the COVID-19 pandemic. I liked working on the manufacturing floor and everyone I met was very nice. The upper level management spent many hours of their time talking to us interns over zoom, and their vision for the future of the company seems realistic and positive.”
