I'll actually be at Google this summer for an internship and would love access to the EE shop. Do you know if there are restrictions for interns? Also, most of my work has been tinkering by myself rather than formal training. Is there anything you'd recommend looking at before trying to gain access? Or even a class or something I could take?
If you'd rather discuss this off HN, my e-mail is in my comments.
- kaib 15y agoI can't remember if there was an intern limitation, but I don't recall there was one. That said, I no longer work there so I'm not clear on the current requirements. I remember that access to the EE shop is pretty easy to come by. Ask your mentor and/or google the internal page to figure out how things work. Edit: If you want to get more info mail me at kai tinkercad.com.
- thequux 15y agoThe electronics shop is fairly easy; it was the only one I had access to. Like you, I learned by tinkering. The only thing in the electronics lab that will hurt you is the soldering iron, so as long as you know which end of that is hot, you should be good. That said, I have some memory of the shops being fulltime-only. Once you get to Google, go to http://goto/workshops http://goto/workshops; full details are there.
