All the back-to-school photos posted on social media this week bring to mind the start of a clean slate. After a wonderful summer with us I would like to wish the 11 KT summer interns (Yes! Our largest group ever!) a wonderful 2022-2023 school year! If you or someone you know is interested in a summer internship please send them to the careers section of our website. Learn more about the adventures in engineering our summer interns had below.

Joseph Broniszewski
Mechanical Engineering Intern from Penn State University
This summer I worked on:
De-risking device concepts through testing, prototype development, and design. I focused especially on iteration between changing designs and testing the impact of these changes on system performance.

My favorite assignment was:
Taking ownership over the design and performance assurance of a fluid transfer device.

Something I will remember about Key Tech:
I will remember all the wonderful and friendly people whose presence truly elevated my experience this summer.

Baltimore is:
A city that has something to offer for everyone. With so much variety and life, it makes for a fun place to both live and work!

Jenna Cui
Mechanical Engineering Intern from Carnegie Melon University
This summer I worked on:
A pressure test bench for MEs, and some torque and flow rate testing.

My favorite assignment was:
The pressure test bench since I was able to work on both the CAD modeling and physically assembling the test bench!

Something I will remember about Key Tech:
The fun people, great work experience, and of course the lovely dogs!

Baltimore is:
The city with the highest concentration of ice cream shops I’ve ever seen.

Sanika Gupte
Computer Engineering Intern from Duke University
This summer I worked on:
Creating a windows application that sends commands to and monitors several testing fixtures at once by using Key#™ (Key Tech’s own device API that allows users to graphically connect to and communicate with a slew of devices).

My favorite assignment was:
Building a cute, little GUI and learning about windows development.

Something I will remember about Key Tech:
The intern trivia team consistently destroying the full-timers every Wednesday.

Baltimore is:
Charming and quirky.

Ryan Huang
Computer Engineering Intern from Carnegie Melon University
This summer I worked on:
The heating controls of a PCR device, an in-house data visualization tool to aid in testing and debugging, and a device which uses capacitive sensing to detect and indicate liquid fill levels.

My favorite assignment was:
Working on the capacitive sensing device. I was fortunate to be thrusted into a role with high responsibility despite having only been with the company for 4 weeks by the time I joined the project team. It has been extremely rewarding to be a part of the high-level design and decision-making process while still creating a device which will have a direct positive impact on peoples’ lives!

Something I will remember about Key Tech:
Definitely the office dogs! They made each day in the office so much more enjoyable, and with the number of photos and videos I have stored, I certainly will not be forgetting them any time soon.

Baltimore is:
Probably the only place in the world where Old Bay is an ice cream flavor.

Ethan Husted
Mechanical Engineering Intern from Carnegie Melon University
This summer I worked on:
Designing and carrying out de-risking tests for an in-vitro diagnostic tool’s automated pipetting system and testing control algorithms for a pharmaceutical drug-delivery device.

My favorite assignment was:
Contributing to an initial concept brainstorming session for a surgical robot.

Something I will remember about Key Tech:
The incredibly friendly people! (& Liz’s bottomless gummy bear stockpile).

Baltimore is:
Full of surprises and fun to explore!

Vikram Marmer
Electrical Engineering Intern from Carnegie Melon University
This summer I worked on:
Testing and designing a diagnostic device that uses optoelectronics.

My favorite assignment was:
Designing a text fixture printed circuit board for a diagnostic device.

Something I will remember about Key Tech:
I will remember how easy it was to feel integrated with the company. Within a few weeks, I felt like a regular employee and not just an intern both within my project teams and within the company as a whole.

Baltimore is:
A fun city to run through, especially by the harbor. It’s also home to the best intern trivia team: Team Alex Flamm!

Dominik Nitecki
Electrical Engineering Intern from Penn State University
This summer I worked on:
Troubleshooting diagnostic robotics and creating circuits, components, and devices to aid in testing and prototyping.

My favorite assignment was:
Using and learning LabView programs to properly configure robotic instruments.

Something I will remember about Key Tech:
The willingness of everyone to help you become a better engineer and person. I developed and learned so many skills this summer that I will be able to take with me wherever my career goes in the future. Everyone was incredibly helpful and would always take extra time out of their day to help you succeed!

Baltimore is:
Home to the best condiment I have ever eaten (shoutout Yeeros’ Spicy Feta) and a great place for morning runs along the Harbor!

Sharon Reitsma
Mechanical Engineering Intern from John Hopkins University
This summer I worked on:
Thermal and fluidic testing and development.

My favorite assignment was:
Designing and building an adjustable test rig to precisely control an applied force and then using it to conduct testing!

Something I will remember about Key Tech:
The unique office space and friendly people (and dogs).

Baltimore is:
Hot in the summertime!

Omkar Savkur
Computer Engineering Intern from Carnegie Melon University
This summer I worked on:
Animating an LED panel, interfacing with battery management and flash memory ICs, and commanding heaters using PID control.

My favorite assignment was:
Architecting and implementing the patterns on the LED panel. Despite the initial project description sounding simple, it took quite a bit of code to get the animations to blend together and for the patterns to look aesthetically pleasing. It involved talking to many other engineers and designers here at Key Tech to make the necessary improvements to control the panel.

Something I will remember about Key Tech:
The office dogs and the Nerf gun wars.

Baltimore is:
A great place to explore.

Ali Schumacher
Industrial Design Intern from the University of Cincinnati
This summer I worked on:
Building user flows in Solidworks, UI design, and laser cutting/hand-making prototypes.

My favorite assignment was:
Anything to do with Solidworks. It was a great learning opportunity to learn more about the program.

Something I will remember about Key Tech:
It was a super friendly and comforting work environment!

Baltimore is:
A great city with wonderful parks to enjoy in the summer.

Grace Zhang
Electrical Engineering Intern from Cornell University
This summer I worked on:
The initial testing and liquid level detection algorithm for a capacitive sensor in a client-facing device, as well as assembling and testing those devices for user studies. I also designed a board for an infrared sensor.

My favorite assignment was:
Testing the fully assembled devices for user studies and seeing all of the work for the liquid level detection come to fruition.

Something I will remember about Key Tech:
The dogs! Special shoutout to Ode and Beatrice.

Baltimore is:
A city with a lot of great ice cream.
