I was one of those who applied for (and was accepted to) the SpaceX internship program last year. It's a super cool program and directly recruits FRC alums (right out of high school too!). I didn't see anything about it on CD this year, but it could make a return in future years.

Also, if you're looking to work in a field related to FRC stuff (EE, ME, CS, some startup related stuff, math, physics, etc.) your experience on an FRC team will definitely help you get a position. This summer, I'm working at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) on Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS), a project looking for small phonon and charge signals in Ge and Si crystals at 60 mK in order to look for WIMP dark matter. FRC experience definitely made me a more attractive student for my advisor, and has helped me a ton on the project so far.

There's lots of cool positions out there, and while potential employers and professors may not be looking for FRC and FIRST kids per se, the skills you learn in FRC will serve you very well when looking for and performing well at a job.
