The AuSIM internship program has a 17 year history of quality internships
for dozens of outstanding young people.
Students come to AuSIM for between 3 months and a year to learn on-the-job
knowledge that is typically never taught in school.
They leave with documentation of a good project and a good recommendation.
Six former AuSIM interns returned to AuSIM for full-time positions
at the completion of their degrees.
The summer of 2016 is exciting as we are opening a new facility designed
for training and incubating entrepreneurial teams.
The ideal minimum internship is 12 weeks.
In the first four weeks, an intern is exposed to multiple projects around AuSIM.
Interns are trained on domain knowledge and specific development processes and skills.
During this time interns attend structured sessions, explore "lab" projects, and
interact closely with managers to
- learn the theory and technology of audio simulation,
- survey the tools supporting audio simulation,
- become familiar with AuSIM's products and code base,
- learn the ropes and trade,
- ascertain what knowledge and skills most need to be developed, and
- find a project that stimulates interest in the intern.
The middle four weeks are the focus of the project implementation.
In the last month, the intern analyzes the results, summarizes data,
documents their work (both internal code documentation and external software user guides),
writes a report, and transitions their project for future development.
Longer internships can allow the project to grow into a more-substantial and professional effort,
but typically allow the intern to take on another project to grow in a different direction.
For example, Andy from NYU with extensive studio recording experience
created interactive sound experiences his first summer at AuSIM,
while also writing tools for microphone array processing in MATLAB.
He returned the next summer to focus entirely on C++ development,
a skill he knew nothing about before AuSIM.
He's currently completing his PhD in Music Informatics.
Below is a list of potential internship project areas within the next 12 months.
