Intern, Security Research Engineer

L3HHCM20•Herndon, VA

1d•$29 - $54•Onsite

About The Position

This internship offers the opportunity to apply computer science, engineering, and mathematical analysis concepts and principles in the development of software for target applications. Interns will work closely with cross-functional members of the engineering organization to develop and evaluate interfaces between hardware and software, and operational performance requirements and design of the overall system. The role involves supporting and participating in all phases of the software development life cycle, including requirements analysis, design, implementation, integration, and testing of embedded software for real-time control of advanced tactical radio equipment. Interns will develop software test procedures, software programs, and related documentation, utilize modeling tools and equipment to establish operating data, conduct experimental tests, and evaluate results. Participation in peer reviews, identifying, tracking, and repairing defects is also expected. The role requires utilizing a variety of software languages (i.e., C++, C#, C, Java, Ruby, HTML5, XML, SQL, Perl, Python, Ajax, Qt) on Windows, Linux, mobile platforms, and embedded real-time operating systems (VxWorks, Linux, QNX, Integrity, Windows CE, and others for Motorola, Intel, TI, and custom processor designs). A specific focus on Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is also included, requiring the application of DSP, communication systems, and software engineering concepts in software development. Understanding of time domain versus frequency domain analysis, filter structures, and modulation/coding algorithms is necessary. The work will be in an agile environment, utilizing primarily C, C++, and VHDL as well as scripting languages on embedded Linux and real-time operating system platforms.
