A Software Engineer Internship is a temporary position where students or entry-level professionals gain hands-on experience in software development. Interns typically work on real projects, write code, debug issues, and collaborate with engineering teams. The internship helps develop technical skills, knowledge of software development processes, and familiarity with industry tools. It also provides networking opportunities and can lead to full-time job offers.

What kinds of projects or tasks do software engineer interns typically work on during their internship?

Software Engineer Interns are often assigned to real-world projects that may include developing new features, fixing bugs, writing automated tests, or improving documentation. They usually work as part of a development team under the mentorship of experienced engineers, which allows them to participate in code reviews, agile meetings, and collaborative problem-solving sessions. The exact responsibilities may vary, but interns are regularly exposed to the full software development lifecycle and are encouraged to ask questions and contribute ideas. This hands-on experience not only builds technical skills but also prepares interns for full-time roles after graduation.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the software engineer internship position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Software Engineer Intern, you need a solid understanding of programming languages (such as Java, Python, or C++), algorithms, data structures, and typically be pursuing or have a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with version control systems like Git, integrated development environments (IDEs), and sometimes issue tracking tools is often expected. Strong problem-solving abilities, a willingness to learn, and effective communication are key soft skills that help interns excel in collaborative environments. These skills ensure interns can contribute meaningfully to technical projects, integrate well with engineering teams, and grow rapidly within the organization.

Job description

Why Join Rincon Research Corporation (RRC)?

At Rincon Research Corporation, our primary business is innovating, developing, and fielding digital signal processing (DSP) products and services for the United States Defense and Intelligence Communities in support of national security.

Rincon Research Corporation seeks a Software Engineer to create cutting edge software and cloud computing solutions to challenging national security and defense signal processing, geolocation, and communication problems. You will work in a multi-disciplinary R&D environment with similarly skilled and motivated electrical engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists/engineers in a highly rewarding personal and professional environment.

Come join the team that is creating cutting edge signal processing and geolocation systems for the future!

 

What are the primary responsibilities in the Software Engineer position?

Core responsibilities include designing real-time cloud processing solutions, implementing advanced signal processing and geolocation algorithms with efficient software, testing with real data, and providing applications to front-line customer facilities. You create effective user interfaces and data visualization tools. A key responsibility is staying up-to-date with the latest technologies, tools, and methodologies and experimenting with new technologies to incorporate innovative solutions into RRC projects. RRC personnel can expect to work across all functional areas: systems engineering, development, integration and test, deployment and O&M, and experience the direct mission feedback from the customer and seeing your project provide real-world contributions that make a significant difference. You’re encouraged and expected to propose things that you believe will improve the applications and frameworks you’re working in.

What required background will make you successful? 

  • Degree (Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD) in Computer Engineering or Computer Science
  • Proficient in modern software engineering practices for testability and readability
  • Proficient in C++ and Python in LINUX environments
  • Demonstrated ability to design software systems to ensure they achieve functionality, performance, scalability, and maintainability requirements
  • Ability to obtain and maintain TS/SCI security clearance
  • US CITIZENSHIP REQUIRED

Preferred skills: 

  • DevOps and Cloud computing Experience (Gitlab, CI/CD, CVE mitigations, Docker, Kubernetes, PIP)
  • Agile development processes
  • Current TS/SCI clearance

  

Where is the position located?

This position can be located in our Centennial, CO; Chantilly, VA offices or at our Tucson, AZ Headquarters.  Remote work/telework is not available for this position.

 

What benefits does RRC offer?

  • 100% employer-paid premiums for family medical and dental insurance, employee life insurance, short-term and long-term disability (STD & LTD)
  • Flexible reimbursement spending accounts for medical expense and dependent care
  • Immediate participation and vesting in the company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and 401(k) Plan
  • Employer contributions to RRC’s ESOP
  • Employer matching contributions to the company’s 401( k) Plan
  • Employer discretionary contributions to the company’s 401(k) Plan
