Here at NBCU, we strive to be on the forefront of leading-edge technology and are seeking a savvy troop of technologists we call Media Tech Interns.   

Our program exposes students to technical opportunities across NBCUniversal’s Operations & Technology organizations and serves as a main pipeline into our Rotational Associate Programs. As a NBCUniversal Media Tech Intern, you will gain hands-on experience, allowing you to apply your classroom knowledge to practical situations. We offer a 2 day in-person orientation in our NY office where we bring all interns together to meet each other and various business leaders.   

Students will experience firsthand how one of the largest media and entertainment companies in the world operates and delivers strategic, innovative solutions. 

Areas of placement may include, but are not limited to: 
  

• Global Network & Distribution Engineering, Project Management: Global Network and Distribution is comprised of two areas - Global Network and Distribution Engineering. Global Network provides the network backbone and connectivity that powers everything that we do at NBCUniversal - from network switches to hard-wired network connectivity to wifi, the Network team is the reason that everyone at NBCU can work effectively and always be connected. Distribution Engineering ensures that all NBC channels and Peacock remain up/live. When you think of the breadth and depth of the channels and streaming platform that we support, it is an extraordinary responsibility. This team works to ensure that all live events on NBCU channels run smoothly - Big 10 Football, NFL Wildcards, US Open Golf, the Olympics, and Presidential elections to name a few. As the intern, you’ll actively participate in all Playout Refresh-related meetings and document meeting notes for the team’s reference, manage a subproject of the Playout Refresh Program under the guidance of a project manager, and shadow project managers in their project meetings to learn about the business, what project managers do, and how this aligns with the overall organizational strategy.
