1.   DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTION

          Subsea 7 has summer internship positions for engineering students to join us in our Houston, TX office.  This will be a 10-week program during the summer that provides a great opportunity to come and work with us; learn about what we do and what it means to work for Subsea 7.  The prospective interns should apply for the specific work tasks that most suit their interests/career goals.

          Under the supervision of an analytical engineer, the intern will develop Seastate RAOs using Orca Wave (diffraction analysis software).
