Intern Technology Jobs in Nevada (NOW HIRING)

This is an UNPAID internship through the DoD Skillbridge Program for transitioning active-duty US military personnel. DoD Skillbridge Internships are available to help transitioning active-duty military personnel gain real-world experience in the work force sometime during their final 180 days of active-duty service. The intern will actively train on meaningful projects and work closely with a mentor and with senior company leadership. HII Mission Technologies Internship programs are focused on placing transitioning military into internships that require KSAs, Education & Military Training similar to their current or previous military jobs; positions that could easily transition over to a full-time regular and permanent job with HII.

Objective

 The SkillBridge intern will train as an F-15E Simulator Instructor Pilot (IP) / Weapon Systems Operator (WSO), reporting to HII-Mission Technologies designated supervisor, with the goal of learning F-15E Strike Eagle Mission Training Center (MTC) operations to include: mission planning, mission operations and system debrief operations.

Desired End State (2-3-month target)

• At the end of three months, the intern will be able to develop mission scenarios in coordination with customer requirements, operate and troubleshoot missions, operate debrief system and assist local customer mission debrief analysis.
• The intern will develop an understanding of F-15E MTC technical documentation and development of Site Issue Reports (SIR) for maintenance and operation deficiencies.
• HII-Mission Technologies will benefit from the military background of the SkillBridge intern and considers the SkillBridge internship an overall positive experience.

Assumptions

• SkillBridge interns are not authorized to represent HII to DoD or Government customers while participating in the DoD SkillBridge Program Internship. Interns can participate and train behind the scenes as long as they are not interacting with customers.
• If candidate is selected and approved, SkillBridge Intern can travel in conjunction with this internship; HII-Mission Technologies will fund all travel costs.

Training Location: Nellis AFB, Las Vegas, NV
