Re: Best Employers for FIRST Alumni

You could try sending AndyMark your resume and cover letter; they're obviously one of the best companies to work for as a FIRST volunteer. I know they have mechanical design engineers, so hiring an electrical design engineer isn't too far-fetched. The worst they can say is no.

Major event sponsors also seem to usually see the value of FIRST involvement; I frequently see fellow googlers at FTC and FRC events as mentors and volunteers, and my manager has been very supportive. I've heard similar things of many other such companies; I wonder if sponsors of Indiana state championship or the regionals in the past few years would feel similarly. Rolls Royce is the only one I can find with a cursory search, but I'm guessing a bit more of a deep dive, or contacting Indiana FIRST would yield more.
