Our Process

During the application process you will be asked a series of questions. These questions will be used to best match your interests and background to one of our opportunities. Our goal is to match you with an opportunity that will help enhance your education and interests. Please make sure to answer all the questions, so we can make the best match possible. Recruiters will reach out to candidates as matches are made. Details on the job will be provided once those matches have been made and verified with the hiring leader.

Interviews will be conducted using the behavioral based interview process or STAR method of interviewing.

We are currently recruiting students pursuing degrees across key areas including engineering (such as electrical, computer, civil, and related disciplines), business fields (specifically supply chain, finance, accounting, and business management), and technology-focused majors like computer science, information technology, data science, and data analytics. We also consider candidates in construction management and chemistry. Students with interdisciplinary interests or undeclared majors are encouraged to apply if they are exploring or intending to pursue one of these focus areas.
