I'm not sure how FIRST volunteering is treated in Indiana, but in Warren, OH, FIRST volunteering is typically officially recognized on your personal business plan as something that is "part of your job description". They do not give you "free" vacation to attend events, alas, but they do give you latitude to mentor your team as long as all primary work functions are held above all else.

There are four FRC teams who are sponsored out of the Warren CTC, where I work - 48, 2010, 3193, and 4601.

Any and all FIRST alums are MORE THAN WELCOME to work here. I'd love for my employer to get additional benefit from supporting FIRST programs by bringing in FIRST alums as full time employees so they can continue to see how important sponsorship is.

I took a look, and applied for the controls position in Kokomo, as it sounded up my alley (I was pretty good in my controls class last semester; I got an A in it). The others I wasn't as qualified for, mainly due to the fact that my only FPGA experience was using schematic capture; my professor hated HDL's and didn't teach it and I never found the time to learn VHDL/verilog on my own.

Lockheed Martin is a cool company; they are unfortunately very out of state. I'll think about that one.
