Intern Insight: Hardik Hardik
Throughout October and November 2025, M.B.A. student Hardik Hardik worked at mass transit security and communications equipment manufacturer Boyce Technologies. As a business technology intern, he worked closely with Boyce鈥檚 production and quality teams to support daily manufacturing operations.
His role granted him hands-on experience in the responsibilities he seeks in his future career. A typical workday for Hardik included streamlining production workflows, monitoring assembly processes, and ensuring products met strict quality and safety standards. He spent much of his time conducting quality checks, documenting defects, coordinating across teams, and helping optimize production efficiency.
New York City-based Boyce Technologies creates both behind-the-scenes and customer-facing products for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority鈥檚 (MTA) subway system, among others. Hardik鈥檚 internship marked a pivotal moment in his academic career. It gave him the chance to learn from highly skilled engineers and technicians and grasp new concepts in industry-standard quality practices, operations, and production management.
鈥淏oyce is known for its high standards in manufacturing and innovation,鈥� he says. 鈥淚 wanted to be part of an environment that values precision and efficiency. I was especially excited to take advantage of opportunities to get hands-on practice.鈥�
His position allowed him to dive into real-world manufacturing operations. Hardik cites Boyce Technologies as an ideal place to apply his skills and gain new expertise by contributing to process improvements and better understanding how to maintain product quality on a large scale.
Hardik aims to build a career in operations and production management, and his internship bolstered his confidence. While he worked, he witnessed real-world manufacturing workflows, observing how products move from design to production, how quality standards are maintained, and how different teams collaborate to deliver results鈥攕kills essential for the roles he would like to work in someday. Most notably, he says he has developed a new perspective on how teamwork, communication, and process discipline directly impact the final product and has gained a deeper appreciation for attention to detail and consistency.
鈥淭hese lessons have shaped the way I approach work, and I have developed new habits that will stay with me in any operations or management role,鈥� he reflects. 鈥淢y foundation has only been strengthened for a long-term career in operations, supply chain, and manufacturing management.鈥�
