The FCC Engineering Internship offers advanced-level developmental assignments 
to broaden skills and provide practical experience on more complex electrical 
engineering assignments. As an intern, you will participate in helping the FCC 
tackle some of the most challenging problems in communication technology today, 
such as:


- Making more spectrum available for wireless communications through technology 
advances, e.g., new transmission methods, improvements in receivers, advanced 
sharing techniques, interference mitigation, etc.


- Improving interference evaluation methods to take into account statistical 
and cost/benefit considerations.


- Assisting with the transition of our phone-based 9-1-1 system to one based on 
Internet protocols.


- Ensuring that phone calls to rural areas are reliable.


- Determining the location of indoor emergency calls.


- Improving the survivability of communication networks during natural 
disasters.


- Making it easier for people with hearing or visual disabilities to 
communicate.


- Providing information to consumers about technical topics.


- Furthering current actions to facilitate the introduction and use of 
broadband communications to improve energy efficiency, health care, education 
and transportation.


You will help solve these important problems by implementing software 
prototypes, analyzing data and collecting technical information. You will also 
get the opportunity to participate in discussions on future communication 
policies and issues.

Feel free to contact me for additional information.
