Julianne

Mechanical Engineering Intern, Summer 2017

“Before coming to Sleep Number, my previous internship experiences were two-dimensional. Here, I got to work on my first project on my own. I started with a problem statement and it was for me to figure out. I learned that’s what works best for me and I like setting goals for myself.

I joined Sleep Number full time in August of 2017, and I was recently promoted from Associate to Mechanical Design Engineer — and I think my internship played a big role in that. Having that opportunity to get real, hands-on experience is exactly what I wanted and helped me see myself in this role.”

Renee

Field Services Intern, Summer 2018

“Over the course of my 10-week internship, I was brought in to important meetings, helped coordinate the implementation of a telematics system in the fleet, and ran analysis on fuel reports and deliveries to determine headcount. That led to presentations of my recommendations and prompted changes to our current systems.”

“I joined Sleep Number full time in July of 2019 as an Operational Specialist. A large part of my role is working with our vendors to ensure our technicians have everything they need to keep doing a great job of delivering beds. I also work with finance, legal and human resources which has allowed me to get a better understanding of the business as a whole and how all departments come together to make Sleep Number successful.”

Finance Intern, Summer 2017

“I worked on a variety of smaller projects that helped me get to know every part of the business. As a result, I got to interact with a lot of people and gain exposure to what working in a big company was really going to be like.

I joined Sleep Number part time during my last semester and went full time in January of 2018. Now, I’m an associate Financial Analyst supporting the Logistics team. What's exciting for me is that it's not the kind of Finance role where you're doing the same thing every day. In my role, I get to dig into why the numbers are what they are. And I really enjoy the analytics piece of the role.”

Brendon

Finance Intern, Summer 2017

“I spent my internship focusing on one area: helping our broader Finance team get more visibility and reporting on how product discounts flow through our systems. I learned to really dig in and not be afraid of talking to people I didn’t know. Everyone is friendly and helpful.

I worked at Sleep Number part time my last semester and joined full time in January of 2018. I’m a Finance Analyst working with a demand planning tool that makes sure our teams out in the supply chain have what they need and can create more actionable plans.”

Yuki

Biomedical Data Analyst Intern, Summer 2018

“I worked on a wide range of projects during my internship for the algorithm team. The main ones were an algorithm that used 24 hours of pressure data to automate part of the development process, as well as a novel load cell prototype bed where I was listed as a co-inventor.

As a data analyst for the algorithm development team, I have the privilege of learning about how the SleepIQ team makes decisions using empirical data, as well as contributing to software that impacts the lives of millions of Sleep Number customers. I also get to see first-hand how people from a wide array of competencies work together to create an enterprise level IoT system.”
