Job Title: Embedded Engineer Intern
Major: Electrical Engineering
Received Credit: Yes

Description of the Organization
DornerWorks is a fairly small company, fewer than 100 employees in total but because so many work remote there are only around 20-30 in the office daily on average.
Description of the Tasks/Projects Completed
During my internship I was able to get an fpga program that runs MAPS (Modular active protection system) up and running. I got the same fpga with different firmware to send and receive data over TSN (time sensitive networking), and I designed a gui application from the ground up that would create configuration files for a bridged endpoint.
Skills/Knowledge Gained Through The Experience
Gui development has been a huge one, but python more than anything. I had never used python before this internship, and since i started i have used it 75% of the time.
Favorite Part of the Experience
The people here are fantastic, friendly and always willing to help you learn
How the Experience Influenced Future Career Goals
It has further affirmed that this is the line of work i want to pursue.
