Flight Test Summer Intern

The Small Airborne Effectors Division, within the Leidos Kinetic Effects Business Area, has an opening for a Flight Test and Integration Engineer Summer Intern at the Huntsville, AL campus. The role supports a range of programs covering missile systems and uncrewed aircraft. It offers the chance to work on a varied set of multidisciplinary projects.

The division develops, tests, and produces small airborne missiles, autonomous systems, and payload effectors for a broad customer base, including every branch of the US Military and Special Operations Forces.

Primary Responsibilities

• Support and contribute to multidisciplinary teams that integrate and flight-test new subsystems, payloads, and/or munitions.
• Work in a lab environment on test engineering tasks such as requirements traceability, regression testing, and system integration verification.
• Collect, process, and analyze test data (telemetry, sensor logs, video, RF, GNSS, inertial data, etc.) to verify system performance against requirements.
• Produce clear technical test reports, data summaries, anomaly investigations, and lessons-learned documentation.

At Leidos, the team pushes past the status quo because the mission requires it. The company looks for people who challenge conventional thinking and refuse to settle for failure, and it is already moving well beyond where it started.
