Summary
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 (HII-MT) 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-MT.
Objective
The SkillBridge intern will train as a RF and Data Link Engineer within Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) Technology Integration Support Cooperative (TISC), reporting to a designated supervisor of HII Mission Technologies team. Upon completion of the SkillBridge internship, the transitioning service member will be fully prepared to function as an RF and Datalink Engineer supporting AFSOC through the Special Warfare (SW) TISC. The intern will possess the technical competencies, security clearances, and operational knowledge necessary to immediately contribute to SOF mission success through RF/DL system integration, testing, and support. The intern will be assigned special projects as needed.
Learning Goals
1. RF and Datalink Technical Proficiency
Master tactical RF/datalink systems (Link-16, SINCGARS, SATCOM, MUOS, MANET)
RF fundamentals: antenna modeling, link budgets, frequency management, spectrum analysis
Proficiency with RF propagation tools (SPEED, CloudRF), spectrum analyzers, and IP networking
Milestone: Conduct RF system assessment on ground or airborne platform
2. SOF Mission Systems Integration
Shadow engineers during system evaluations and testing
Participate in cross-functional coordination and SW TISC integration processes
Support field operations: equipment surveys, setup, operation, breakdown
Milestone: Lead integration project connecting multiple mission nodes
3. DoD Acquisition and Technical Documentation
Study MIL-STD-6016 and MIL-STD-188 specifications
Develop technical reports, briefings, and acquisition recommendations
Obtain CompTIA Security+ certification and initiate TS/SCI clearance upgrade (if required)
Milestone: Produce actionable technical report with system improvement recommendations
Desired End State (3-month target)
Intern becomes a fully trained communications systems professional capable of supporting AFSOC's spectrum and interoperability requirements
Demonstrated proficiency in RF/SATCOM analysis, tactical data link systems, and spectrum analysis tools
Solid grasp of DoD communications acquisition processes, database management, and technical documentation
