Program of Instruction
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.
Desired End State (4month target)
At the end of four months, the intern will be able to describe core functions of a Spectrum Manager, have a basic knowledge of spectrum technologies, describe basic responsibilities of spectrum management and analysis, and gain knowledge on tools and techniques.
The intern will enhance their understanding of Spectrum Management as the art and science of managing the use of the radio spectrum in order to minimize interference and ensure radio spectrum is used to its most efficient extent and benefit for the DoD
The intern will enhance their understanding of all spectrum management software, operation, and analysis concepts and procedures.
The intern will increase their understanding of Spectrum Management Theory and Policies
The intern will enhance their understanding of FCC and NTIA regulations, policies and procedures.
The intern will enhance their understanding of technical documentation, presentation of that documentation and project management.
HII Mission Technologies will benefit from the military background of the SkillBridge intern and considers the SkillBridge internship an overall positive experience.
Training Plan
For this internship, the Skillbridge intern will train as a Spectrum Manger within the Radio Frequency and Electromagnetic Spectrum Engineering Directorate at HII Mission Technologies, reporting to a designated HII Mission Technologies Supervisor, with the goal of learning Spectrum Management principles, technologies, and core functions, as well as the day-to-day responsibilities of Spectrum Management. The intern will be assigned special projects as needed.
