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.
