Top Internships

Provide Tier II network engineering and configuration management support for enterprise LAN/WAN environments across multiple classifications. Tasks include installation and maintenance of network devices, maintaining configuration baselines per DISA STIG, drafting and executing change requests, troubleshooting L1-L3 issues, producing network diagrams and documentation, supporting the Configuration Control Board, and administering CM records and tools (ServiceNow, Confluence, Visio).

Design, implement, and operate Zero Trust and Secure Service Edge architectures across hybrid and cloud environments. Lead SSE vendor evaluations, PoCs, and pilot deployments. Integrate identity, cloud, network, and endpoint controls; produce architecture diagrams, runbooks, and SOPs; troubleshoot performance and security issues and align stakeholders.

Design and implement embedded software for Xilinx SoC FPGA and ARM-based SOM architectures. Participate in full SDLC, integrate and verify on hardware, select and deploy embedded OS (FreeRTOS/VxWorks/Bare Metal), mentor junior engineers, collaborate with systems/hardware/test teams, and apply security-first development practices for precision munitions.

Design, implement, and operate Secure Service Edge (SSE) and Zero Trust architectures across hybrid and cloud-first environments. Integrate identity, networking, and cloud security; evaluate SSE vendors; lead PoCs and pilot deployments; create architecture diagrams, runbooks and SOPs; collaborate with security, networking, cloud, and endpoint teams; troubleshoot performance and security issues in cloud-delivered pipelines while ensuring compliance with regulated DoD/FedRAMP environments.

Design and implement satellite ground systems including command & control, mission planning, and data processing. Perform full software lifecycle work (requirements, architecture, design, coding, testing, integration, documentation, support) in an agile team delivering high-reliability software with CI/CD. Collaborate across units and work on-site.

Lead systems engineer for enterprise satellite ground systems: design, integration, verification planning, interface/ICD development, MBSE modeling and simulation, requirements decomposition, trade studies, and support of SRR/PDR/CDR and test milestones. Guide program execution and may perform project leadership to meet cost, schedule, and performance goals while working on-site and maintaining required security clearance.

Develop and test low-level embedded software for classified defense programs. Translate MATLAB/Python algorithms into high-performance C/C++ or GPU code, target microcontrollers and ARM/x86-64 platforms, integrate and debug in Linux environments, and produce design documentation while collaborating with systems, hardware, and test engineers.

Lead microelectronics engineering and 6-inch wafer foundry operations across design, fabrication, packaging, and production. Oversee strategy, budgets, KPIs, compliance, and continuous improvement while mentoring engineers and driving roadmap development, cost reduction, and on-time delivery for high-visibility defense programs.

Manage and secure classified closed-area IT infrastructure: Active Directory administration, desktop support, virtualization (VMware/Hyper-V), monthly patching and STIG compliance, DNS/DHCP and domain health, logging and incident response, documentation, change management, and support for RMF accreditation and audits in a Top Secret environment.

Lead development of embedded space-payload software, design software architectures, shape proposal efforts, communicate technical information, mentor and empower engineers, and collaborate across sites and disciplines to deliver space-launched payloads.
