Meet the Interns: Bryce Scott (@brycerjs)
Manager: Nicholas Shelton
Bryce Scott is an Aerospace Engineering major at North Carolina State University. This summer, he is working as a Sales Engineer Intern on the JMP Pre-Sales Team.
Bryce will build a sales demo which highlights how JMP can be used for improving additive manufacturing (3D printing) in the aerospace industry.
"From a technical sales perspective, Bryce’s internship will allow us to gain valuable insights into a new discipline not traditionally targeted by JMP," says Nicholas Shelton, Pre-Sales Support Manager. "Through Bryce’s assistance I look forward to continue to learn more about the aerospace industry, its interests in the near future and the potential opportunities for JMP."
