Description
Leidos is seeking a talented Engineering Intern for Summer 2025 . In the Leidos Autonomy and Artificial Intelligence branch, you will work to solve complex engineering problems with a highly technical, multidisciplinary team consisting of aerospace engineers, computer scientists, research scientists, and statisticians. This group provides cutting-edge solutions to aerospace and defense problems such as autonomous battle management, robotic vehicle guidance, and model-based system identification.
Primary Responsibilities
Employees in this role will work to develop solutions to aerospace and defense problems by applying a variety of engineering, AI/ML, and software technical skills. In general, interns are presented with one or more, open-ended, research problems that are related to on-going projects. This allows interns to directly contribute to active development and make a significant impact on the greater project success.
Each intern will utilize and develop technical skills throughout the summer as they work through their specific problems. This may include topics such as dynamical modeling and simulation, machine learning (e.g., supervised learning, reinforcement learning), statistic-based analysis, and data visualization. The aforementioned skills and solutions are expected to be implemented in software via programming languages such as Python.
To succeed in this role, interns are required to leverage internal resources (e.g., software toolkits), collaborate with peers and experienced professionals, and learn independently. Each intern will also work closely with an experience mentor throughout the summer. By the end of the internship, they will have the opportunity to showcase their experience and work in company-wide events and a formal presentation.
Basic Qualifications
Currently enrolled in an accredited college or university and pursuing a bachelor's or graduate degree in Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field.
Advanced proficiency in programming, specifically including Python and MATLAB.
Fundamental understanding of mathematical concepts, including linear algebra, matrix math, statistics, trigonometry, and coordinate frames.
Aerospace Engineering: Fundamental understanding of core aerospace concepts, such as vehicle and attitude dynamics, control systems, and flight mechanics.
