AI/ML Intern
About The Position
Leidos is seeking an AI/ML Intern for Summer 2027 to join the Leidos Autonomy and Artificial Intelligence branch. The intern will work with a highly technical, multidisciplinary team of aerospace engineers, computer scientists, research scientists, and statisticians to address aerospace and defense problems, including autonomous battle management, robotic vehicle guidance, and model-based system identification. The intern will contribute to one or more open-ended research problems related to ongoing projects, applying engineering, AI/ML, and software skills to active development. Work may involve dynamical modeling and simulation, machine learning (including supervised and reinforcement learning), statistical analysis, and data visualization, with solutions implemented in software such as Python. The role involves using internal resources and software toolkits, collaborating with peers and experienced professionals, and learning independently. The intern will work closely with a mentor and may present their work at company-wide events and in a formal presentation at the end of the internship. The position is based on-site at the Huntsville, Alabama office. U.S. citizenship is required, along with the ability to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI with CI Poly security clearance.
