From Our Interns
“Comsat Architects (CA) is a friendly and collaborative environment. As an intern, you are given challenging projects and good deal of freedom. A successful internship here is rewarding past experience: further opportunities include part time work and senior project topics. You are really valued as a team member here whether you are an intern or full time.”
“This past summer I completed my internship at Comsat Architects in Rocky River, Ohio. It was such an amazing experience where I met so many incredible people. I learned a tremendous amount and grew professionally as a learner. My job helped me grow my intrapersonal skills as well as time management skills working with fellow interns to complete mission planning and preliminary analyses for a CubeSat project. I gained experience in SolidWorks and Systems Tool Kit for many mission tests. I am so thankful for this amazing opportunity and all that I’ve learned. A huge thank you to all my mentors and fellow interns who helped me every step of the way.”
“I’ve had such an amazing experience interning at Comsat Architects this summer! I’ve had the opportunity to work with Solidworks, Matlab, and Thermal Desktop to design our CubeSat and work on thermal modeling and have learned a lot over the course of this internship. Thanks to everyone at Comsat Architects for making this internship such a great experience and learning opportunity.”
