Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
This role includes supporting the team with various different tasks & project both in the hardware and software field. The day to day activities include customer issue replication, building and supporting Intel reference designs and providing lab support to the team. There is also scope for getting involved in other exciting projects outside of day-to-day responsibilities.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, from the very start I was given a project by a manager from an Intel Branch at the United States with a strict deadline that I had to plan out, develop and deliver which I thought was a huge responsibility to give to an intern that had just started a few months ago but I was very happy they did do that! In general I did have a lot of responsibility in my tasks.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
In the beginning of the internship, due to the covid-19 circumstances, I wasn't given much support of guidance but I believe it was only because everyone was trying to adjust to the new way of work because halfway things started to change and I was given a lot of support and guidance by my manager and my team members which helped me feel more confident in my work and provide better results.
