RAMP Engineering Intern Program
Western Digital is still looking for juniors (graduating in Dec 2019 or Spring 2020) that are majoring in computer science, computer engineering, or electrical engineering to fill some internships we have in Milpitas, CA and South San Jose, CA. There are some software developer openings as well as openings in firmware and hardware. Anyone interested is asked to apply online and can reach out to me directly to let me know that they’ve applied. I will then alert my recruiter colleagues that they have applied and that should get them an immediate phone screen. Contact CorporateVP@swetamu.org after applying to receive an immediate phone screening.

Gimena Ceja
Howdy! My name is Gimena Ceja and I am a general engineering major from Jewett, TX. I started my SWE career as a member of the freshmen Professional Development group, SWElites. As a sophomore I decided to come back as a SWElites Co-Chair and now am going for a third year as a Professional Development co-chair for SWE. I have really enjoyed my time here and the friendships I have gotten to make through the organization. I really enjoy watching movies and listening to music in my free time, and although not a coffee addict, you can sometimes find me with a Starbucks refresher in hand so feel free to come up and say hi!
Mia Horton
Howdy! My name is Mia Horton and I am a Sophomore in Industrial and Systems engineering from Houston, TX. My journey with SWE started with SWElites freshman year, I was in the Professional Development Committee. In my free time, my hobbies include reading, thrifting, baking, cooking, and watching tv shows/movies. I’m excited to serve as the Professional Development Co-Chair and help SWE’s professional growth and development this semester!
