Systems Engineering Intern
Department: Systems Engineering Team
My experience
Overview
I rearranged DOORS modules. I ran spell check. I counted the number of TBD requirements. I sat in on hours of meetings where I learned a lot about the program and requirement writing. I made activity diagrams to go over the activities of the different subsystems and how they work with each other.
My team was supportive but they couldn't really do anything to make my situation better. They should have hired a temp instead of an intern. I felt like I stopped learning things after the third week and then all I did was busy work nobody else had time for.
Would recommend it to people who...
Want to learn what it's like working on a space mission and doesn't mind mind numbing busy work.
Would NOT recommend it to people who...
Wants something meaningful with hard problems to solve.

Time spent working
How did working remote affect your experience?
I didn't feel very connected to the team. It made it harder to build relationships. My work was all very doable though.
