Introduction: Our interns explore new ideas, accelerate the launch of new product features, and are big contributors to Google. Technical interns are embedded in every major engineering team where their impact is unconstrained by titles. They truly “do cool things that matter” and we’re sharing their stories with you now. Today we're featuring Tim Blakely, a PhD student at the University of Washington and a current Software Engineering Intern in our Seattle office. Interested in a technical internship at Google? Apply online at google.com/students/intern What are you working on? What is your internship project? Allen Institute for Brain Science (AIBS) to investigate whether the cloud could provide a platform for doing massively parallel, large-scale neural simulations. How would you explain your job to your best friend who is not a computer science major? Google Compute Engine , which allows anyone to run programs in the Google cloud. It’s this available computing power that caught the attention of the AIBS. Because their next phase deals heavily with computational neuroscience, they have to decide what to do with their technology budget: do they buy a special-purpose supercomputer to fit their computing requirements, or can they instead leverage Google’s huge computing resources to meet their goals? And this is where I fit in. The goal of my internship is to answer the question, if the AIBS were to design a neural simulator that runs in the Google cloud, how would this be accomplished and what interesting and unique scientific questions could this answer?In what ways have you been able to innovate at Google? What makes working at Google unique for you? What do you like most about your job? Are there personal rewards from the work you do? Overall, how do you feel about your time here at Google, and what do you see yourself doing next? What advice do you have for students who are interested in an internship at Google?

Based on what I have heard seniors say, and what I’ve heard managers say are the key characteristics of a good intern, I have created the following guidelines for rocking your internship. Congratulations on landing that summer internship. Now comes the hard part.
