INTERN SPOTLIGHT: ANDREW LEDDEN

SS&A would like to welcome 2022 Summer Mechanical intern Andrew Ledden to the team! Andrew is currently studying at the University of Tennessee Knoxville and will be graduating in May 2023 with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Early in the application process, Andrew was allowed to meet with an SS&A Mechanical Engineer in our Knoxville office. After getting the “ins and outs” of a career in Mechanical Engineering and discussing the differences between Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, Andrew decided to change his major to Mechanical Engineering as it aligned better with his career goals.

“Since I was young, I have always been interested in putting things together and bringing ideas to fruition. As an engineer, it is possible to take much larger projects and make them real. The initial brainstorming that goes into the design process is my favorite. I enjoy collaborating with others to hear their ideas and thoughts about a problem.”

Andrew is looking forward to the knowledge he will gain from our SS&A mentors, especially getting practice with the software our engineers use. In his spare time, Andrew enjoys hiking, playing the trumpet, and playing video games.

Welcome to the team, Andrew! We look forward to learning from each other this summer.
