Devsecops Intern Jobs in Silver Spring, MD (NOW HIRING)

The Opportunity:

Artificial Intelligence is only as strong as the mathematical foundations behind it. As an Applied AI Intern, you'll help our defense mission space team explore new approaches in optimization, modeling, probability, and algorithmic development to advance nextgeneration mission solutions. You'll work with massive realworld data sets and operationally relevant challenges, giving you the opportunity to translate academic theory into meaningful national security impact.

As part of our team, you'll collaborate closely with data scientists, AI engineers, and mission experts to understand client needs, apply mathematical methods to datadriven problems, and evaluate the performance of advanced AI and machine learning techniques. You'll contribute to algorithm design, model validation, analytic experimentation, and explainability analysis to help ensure deployed AI is trustworthy, robust, and missionready.

AI-enabled defense capabilities require software developers who can design, test, and refine intelligent systems from prototype through mission deployment. In this role, you'll help build tools, applications, and pipelines that integrate machine learning into real world operational workflows and advanced analytical systems.

This role is more than just coding-you'll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to explore emerging AI technologies, evaluate integration approaches, and develop software components that enhance mission-relevant decision making. You'll work in Agile environments where you can rapidly iterate, test new features, incorporate user feedback, and gain exposure to cloud environments, DevSecOps toolchains, and secure development best practices. Join us as we develop AI-enhanced systems that support national defense and use applied mathematics to shape the future of defense missions.
