The Summer Intern will support high-priority initiatives across the company, working on real-world problems in maritime operations, national security, and data-driven decision making. Interns will be placed on a team based on their skills, interests, and company needs, with primary opportunities across engineering, growth/strategy, and operations (with flexibility for other areas as needed).
Interns will be treated as short-term team members and will be expected to own a project and deliver a tangible outcome by the end of the program.
