2025 Internship - Engineer - Advanced Warfare Systems Engineering & Integration

Do you enjoy applying your knowledge of engineering to a range of new technologies and systems, and bringing them together into a cohesive operational system-of-systems that meets customer needs? If so, we have the internship for you!

We are seeking systems engineering interns to help us develop the required performance and designs of sophisticated combat and weapon systems. We use a wide variety of systems engineering tools and simulations to advance the understanding of sensor, communication and combat system performance. In doing so, you will learn how to employ digital engineering goals, practices and tools from the beginning to define and influence new system requirements. Throughout your internship, we will also provide a detailed understanding of good systems engineering principles and practices.

We are a team of systems and software engineers that apply systems engineering to enable the full life-cycle development of emerging system-of-systems capabilities. We provide international system support and excel in traditional and model-based systems engineering, digital engineering, systems analysis and integration, and verification and validation. We emphasize our inclusive environment where everyone can bring their full range of talents and ideas.
