Cape Canaveral Hiring Systems Integration Intern

This internship gives hands-on exposure to the electrical system integration test lifecycle within the Sustainment Electrical Team. Interns mainly support test preparation, observation, data work, and guided assistance while learning sustainment electrical engineering under certified test conductors. The role builds practical skills in test planning, instrumentation, data documentation, and cross-functional collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

1. Prepare and verify test setup components following the certified conductor checklist.
2. Shadow test executions, noting parameters, sequences, and any anomalies observed.
3. Log measurements and data points using prescribed forms or digital tools, under conductor guidance.
4. Assist with post-test data organization, preliminary trending, and summary observations.
5. Support equipment teardown, calibration checks, and storage procedures as directed.
6. Share observational insights and ask informed questions in team meetings.
7. Keep the work area clean and safe, and follow all posted test area protocols.

What You Will Gain

1. Practical insight into how electrical systems are verified and maintained across their sustainment lifecycle.
2. Direct experience with industry-standard test procedures, instrumentation, and documentation practices.
3. A professional network within the LM electrical engineering and sustainment team.
4. Stronger problem-solving and technical communication skills in a real engineering environment.

Desired Skills

• Hands-on or classroom experience with test equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, multimeters, and data acquisition hardware.
• Ability to read electrical schematics, block diagrams, or wiring lists.
• Familiarity with test documentation standards or lifecycle sustainment processes is a plus.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel for data organization, PowerPoint for briefings).
• Exposure to version control, test management, or data logging tools.
• Analytical mindset with attention to detail, comfortable organizing and summarizing numerical data.
• Prior co-op, lab, or volunteer experience in electrical test, prototype integration, or sustainment environments.
• Basic scripting or automation interest (Python, MATLAB, C++) for data cleaning or trend plotting.
• Experience with Linux.
• Minimum 3.0 GPA (or institutionally equivalent).
