Meet Leidos Summer Intern: Emily Andrews
This summer, Leidos welcomes Emily Andrews, a mechanical engineer intern whose passion for innovation and hands-on problem solving is already making a positive impact. With a keen interest in applying theoretical knowledge to real world challenges, she has quickly become a valuable contributor to engineering projects.
Check out what Emily has to say about her summer internship experience so far.
Where do you go to school, what are you majoring in, and when do you graduate?
I am a mechanical engineering major at San Diego State University, graduating in Fall 2027.
Is your internship in-person, hybrid, or remote?
I am working in-person here in San Diego, California.
Tell us about your internship experience so far.
I’ve really enjoyed my experience so far! It’s been a great opportunity for me to apply what I have learned in school, while also having the opportunity to see the business side of things.
What made you decide to apply for a Leidos internship?
A family friend that used to work here. He has nothing but great things to say about the company, like how he was able to learn so much about the industry working for Leidos. It was what inspired me to apply.
How will a Leidos internship help you meet your academic and career goals?
I think this internship will help my academic goals by taking what has been taught in the classroom and applying it to real life scenarios. As far as career goals, being able to make personal connections with people in my field and gain some of their perspective of what it’s like to work has been very useful.
Besides the internship, what else are you up to this summer?
I’m spending my time doing some summer classes, hanging out with my family and friends, and trying to soak up some sun at the beach!
What is your favorite food?
A burrito.
At Leidos, whether you join for a summer internship or sign on as a co-op during the academic year, you will have the unique opportunity to work directly with a team on critical projects, either at a Leidos facility or on a customer site.
