Recent engineering school graduates with superior academic credentials and an interest in communications engineering are invited to apply for the FCC’s 2008 Engineer-in-Training (EIT) program.
“Engineers at the FCC work on cutting-edge issues in the communications and high-tech arenas, including those affecting the deployment of next generation wireless systems, digital television and radio transition, public safety and homeland security,” the FCC notes. “They also promote the deployment of broadband technologies, promote access to communications services for Americans with disabilities, and work to protect the rights of consumers.”
