Immediate deadline - Northern VA Summer Internship
 
Digital Signal Corporation (DSC), the company where I work in northern Virginia, has an opening for an 8-week paid summer internship that will focus on implementing some light-duty robots (we aren't building diesel locomotives ...).

We are looking for a student with VEX and/or FIRST construction, programming, integration and testing skills to fill the spot. You will need to be at least between your junior and senior years in high school, or be a college student.

The deadline for submitting applications is roughly "immediately". It's tomorrow, Friday, May 2nd.

In a nutshell, DSC makes the world's "... only precision 3D identity solution capable of recognizing moving individuals at long range." How cool is that?

I'll be sending in my application in about 10 minutes. I'm a sophomore EE college student with a heavy interest and focus in robotic applications.

I just applied! I'm a senior matriculating to Columbia University for Engineering in the fall. When can we anticipate being contacted about our status regarding the internship?

I just applied! Sounds like a really great internship for the summer, just what I need for my co-op for school! Although I may only be an entering freshman for mechanical engineering, I have taken many college courses while in High School.

I'm learning about this opportunity as I go; and I'm not a part of the recruiting dept. My knowledge of their typical timeline for filling this sort of position is limited, to say the least.

I think the best approach is to let them (the recruiting team) handle questions like that - We don't want me to get in the middle of the conversation, and start creating confusion.

I have a question before I apply, If I am a graduating High School Senior this year and I live in Delaware, is it possible for the internship to pay for a place for me to stay or partially pay for it? I was just wondering about this because I have heard of some internships where they actually pay for a place for the intern to stay like Disney's Internships. Besides this, this sounds like a wonderful opportunity.

Akash,

This will pay a modest salary (and we have free lunches on Fridays).

All expenses are your responsibility. We are on a bus route (some employees use it); and there are many options for living (like a sardine :D) with other students who come to this region during the summer. You would need to investigate the possibilities on your own.

I hope that info helps you decide.

Because time is of the essence, I'm "bumping" this topic a few times (today and tomorrow) to keep it at the top of the pile.

Sounds very interesting!!
But I have some questions, about my situation.

I would like to apply, I'm Mexican, from Team 3158, I've been for 3 years in this team. I'm 18 years old.

I'm already studying a career, Mechatronics in Tecnológico de Monterrey Campus Toluca. So, I wonder if I still could apply, I've coursed 2 semesters so far.

I've been on differents areas, working with FIRST ROBOTICS, mostly, drivers, electronics, scouting databases, media and mechanics.

Dan,

My first reaction is to tell you to apply, and then find out later whether the US Citizenship is required. If you miss the application deadline a "No worries" answer to your question won't matter because it will be too late.

I will find out (and post the answer here) if US Citizenship is important. Because we are an international company, my *guess* is that non-US applications will be gladly accepted.

Dan,

you would need to have (or be 99.9% assured of having) all of the necessary paperwork in place to allow you to work in the USA. For a summer internship position, DSC would not expect to assist with that process and/or any costs.

With that paperwork in place, the person I spoke to believed that hiring a non-USA citizen for this opening would definitely be feasible.

Students,

Thank you! for your interest in this opportunity, and sincere congratulations of the depth and breadth of the credentials/qualifications contained in the applications we received.

We expect we will quickly reach a decision, I'll post a notice here when the process completes.
