The role requires significant technical leadership, adaptability, communication, and the ability to manage multiple priorities.

Electrical Reliability Engineering Intern supporting reliability analyses for terrestrial and space systems. Under mentorship, the intern will work with reliability metrics, reliability prediction, part stress, failure modes, circuit, fault tree, and related analyses. Responsibilities include modeling electrical component parameters, analyzing circuits using SPICE, investigating failures, documenting results, translating requirements, supporting continual improvement projects, and collaborating across engineering teams. The role is fully on-site and may involve laboratory, production, cleanroom, and outdoor environments.

Mechanical Engineering Intern supporting defense product design, development, manufacturing integration, and testing. Responsibilities include creating 3D models and drawings in PTC Creo, preparing technical documentation, applying fundamental engineering principles, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams on mechanical components and systems.

Software Developer Interns work with small software teams to develop features for web, cloud, server, desktop, and embedded products. Responsibilities may include software design, coding, testing, optimization, technology evaluation, image processing, video analytics, machine learning, and geospatial data analysis. Interns receive mentorship and participate in BAE Systems’ LEAP development program while working full-time onsite.

Architects, deploys, configures, and maintains enterprise Linux servers across on-premise and government cloud environments. Implements secure federal baselines, manages patching and performance, supports applications and middleware, develops Bash/Python automation, and delivers Infrastructure-as-Code using Ansible or Terraform. The role also supports cloud migrations, virtualization, containers, security compliance, vulnerability remediation, documentation, and operational reporting for a federal customer.
