Engineering Internship/Co-Op

Summit TRC is seeking motivated students for our Engineering Intern/Co-op program. We hire across multiple engineering disciplines — Software Engineering, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Systems Integration Engineering, and DevSecOps — and match each intern to a team based on their background, coursework, and interests. Wherever you land, you'll work alongside experienced engineers on real problems supporting UAS products and other Defense and Space programs, not busywork.

Possible focus areas include:

• Software Engineering — building and deploying software (C#, Java, Python, C++, Rust) that enables new capabilities on UAS products
• Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) — applying MBSE tools (e.g., Cameo) and frameworks (SysML, DoDAF, OOSEM) across the systems engineering lifecycle
• Systems Integration Engineering — integrating, deploying, and troubleshooting systems across Operating Systems, virtual machines, containers, and networks

Responsibilities (specific tasks will depend on your team placement):

• Contribute to real project work under the guidance of senior engineers — writing code, supporting requirements development, building models, or assisting with systems integration, depending on your track
• Assist in analyzing technical requirements and supporting design or architecture decisions
• Help with documentation such as technical write-ups, test reports, configuration guides, or specifications
• Participate in testing, integration, or troubleshooting activities alongside cross-functional teams
• Collaborate with engineers, stakeholders, and other interns across disciplines
• Present your work and contributions to the team at the end of your internship/co-op term

Qualifications:

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline (Junior standing or above)
• US Citizen, able to obtain a Secret or higher security clearance
• Strong problem-solving instincts and eagerness to learn
• Comfortable working with Windows and/or Linux and using the command line
• Able to work well within a team and take initiative on open-ended tasks

Relevant coursework, projects, or skills in any of the following are a plus (tell us which track interests you most):

• Programming in C#, Java, Python, C++, or Rust; object-oriented design; unit/integration testing; Git or other version control
• SysML, Cameo, MagicDraw, Sparx Enterprise Architect, or other MBSE tooling; MagicGrid, OOSEM, DoDAF, or UAF frameworks
• Scripting/automation (PowerShell, Bash, Python, Ansible); virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V); containers; networking fundamentals
