An Insider's view of HRL Laboratories

What’s the vibe like in the office?

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

I’ve really enjoyed working with coworkers and with other research groups from all backgrounds and from various fields in science. So far I have been able to speak to and work directly with research physicists, materials scientists, and mechanical engineers, to discuss ideas and create things that no one else outside of HRL has been able to do.

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I worked with my team for a 6-month co-op in 2019, and was given the responsibility of a full-time employee from day 1 which I hadn’t experienced in other companies. I really enjoyed working with my team because they took my suggestions seriously and gave me a lot of free reign; I decided to return for a full-time position after graduation.
