Title:

National Security Solutions (NSS) - Software Engineering Intern

Project Overview

The purpose of this project is to leverage software development practices to incorporate a new artificial intelligence system into an existing application to reduce repetitive user workflows within the system.

Key Responsibilities

+ Design and implement an AI-powered summarization feature within the Iron Stallion application ecosystem.

+ Develop a modular, reusable backend summarization service capable of handling multiple data types.

+ Integrate summarization capabilities into frontend applications in collaboration with senior software engineers.

+ Implement context-aware summarization logic, adapting outputs based on user interactions.

+ Work within object-oriented software architecture following established development standards and best practices.

+ Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders including analysts, operators, and developers to ensure mission relevance.

+ Create technical documentation and knowledge transfer materials to support long-term adoption beyond the internship.

Learning Outcomes & Impact

This internship provides hands-on experience designing and integrating AI-powered summarization capabilities within a mission-critical operational platform. The intern will grow their technical skillset by applying machine learning and natural language processing concepts to complex, real-world data while working alongside experienced software engineers in an enterprise environment. Through mentorship and collaborative development, the intern will gain exposure to full-stack system design, scalable services, and

production-quality code. By embedding AI directly into analyst workflows, the project reduces repetitive analysis tasks, accelerates decision-making, and establishes a reusable foundation for future AI-driven capabilities across the Iron Stallion ecosystem.

Minimum Qualifications

+ Currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in computer science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.

+ Coursework or experience in object-oriented programming (e.g., Java, JavaScript, Python, or similar languages).

+ Familiarity with software development fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, and system design concepts.

+ Strong analytical, problem solving, and communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

+ Exposure to web application development.

+ Exposure to machine learning or artificial intelligence concepts.

+ Prior course or internship work incorporating artificial intelligence features.
