Engineering Internship

/in /by

ALAE Solutions has several engineering internship positions available for graduate Engineering students.  ALAE Solutions offers very competitive salaries based on experience, with the ability to accelerate career development by working on multiple prime contracts with various technologies. ALAE Solutions is a small group where you will feel a sense of belonging and are empowered to bring ideas. Work would primarily take place in our Warner Robins office but could occasionally be on Robins AFB, depending on contract execution requirements.

The successful Engineering candidates will work closely with ALAE Solution’s President and team members to execute Phase I/II/III SBIR contracts. Candidates will support integration activities at Robins AFB, located within 2 miles of our offices. The roles include working with team members to develop software, firmware, and hardware on technically diverse projects.  Our small team approach requires a candidate with experience across multiple engineering disciplines or an ability to learn new skills/technologies. The Intern Engineers will apply technical expertise in solving complex design challenges and participate in requirements development, design, application development, integration, installation, and deployment. Our candidate will interact with government customers requiring excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal skills. Some positions will require experience with previous development of PC-based Microsoft Windows software applications using C# within Visual Studio IDE. Other positions require experience with Automated Test Systems (ATS) and debugging test program sets (TPS). Working with Augmented Reality and Real-Time Locating Systems (RTLS) will require software and hardware skillsets.  An Intern will be expected to deliver results on contracts. The ability to work independently with minimal supervision is desired to achieve agreed-upon strategic, tactical, technical, and business development objectives.

Duties and Responsibilities may consist of some of the following:

  • Capture and author manufacturing machinery 3D training processes using AR/VR tools, developing an on-demand, hardware-agnostic AR training and task execution job aid.
  • Perform Engineering tasks on Air Force test programs under a prime contract supporting software rehosting of legacy TPS to the Versatile Depot Automated Test Station (VDATS).
  • Develop PC-based Microsoft Windows™ software applications using Visual Studio IDE, WPF, and C#
  • Design, code, test, and integrate real-time software with cloud-based enterprise-wide applications.
  • Maintain client relationships and work closely with vendors to further project goals.
  • Support Robotic programming and integration of FANUC robot controllers.
  • Assist President and SBIR Director with other technical marketing as needed.

Desired Qualifications, Education, and Experience:

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in computer science or engineering.
  • Software development experience using C/C++, C# preferred,
  • Strong testing and debugging abilities.  Experience in troubleshooting, diagnosing, and using problem-solving skills.
  • Experience with Automated Testing and working with DoD projects desired.
  • Experience with product development and sustainment is a plus.
  • Must be self-motivated and take the initiative in performing tasks and growing skills and knowledge.

Local presence in Warner Robins, GA, is required during the internship.

U.S. citizenship is required.

Electrical Systems Engineer

The Electrical Systems Engineer works closely with ALAE Solutions’ technologists to execute projects for US government customers, including supporting integration activities at Robins AFB, located within 2 miles of our offices. This position will directly support a government contract now in progress with a period of performance running into 2028. Some telework may be possible, subject to business needs and contract execution requirements. This hardware development role includes collaborating with team members developing both hardware and software. Our small-team approach requires a candidate with experience across multiple engineering disciplines and an ability to learn new skills/technologies. The Electrical Systems Engineer will apply technical expertise to solve complex design challenges in automated analog, digital, and RF equipment testing. The Electrical Systems Engineer will contribute to all phases of development, including requirements, detailed design, design reviews, technical documentation, fabrication, integration, testing, installation, and deployment. Interacting with government customers requires excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal skills. Strong candidates will have experience selecting and integrating analog, digital, and RF electronic test equipment to achieve system objectives. Experience with automated test systems/equipment (ATS/ATE) and Test Program Sets (TPSs) is ideal. Familiarity with C# and C/C++ is helpful as the role includes close collaboration with software engineers to validate system performance against customer requirements. Demonstrated success delivering results on contracts is desired. The ability to work independently with minimal supervision is desired to achieve agreed-upon strategic, tactical, technical, and business development objectives.

Duties and Responsibilities consist of but are not limited to the following:

  • Analyze system requirements to select and combine commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) analog, digital, and RF components and instruments to meet system-level requirements.
  • Collaborate with software engineers to ensure compatibility of all instrumentation.
  • Take a hands-on role in “racking and stacking” electronic test equipment suitable for industrial deployment.
  • Design and document cables and wire runs suitable for build-to-print contracts.
  • Validate conformance of cables and components received from vendors.
  • Configure, integrate and validate instrumentation and cabling.
  • Perform engineering tasks supporting the rehosting of Legacy Test Programs to VDATS.
  • Maintain client relationships and work closely with vendors to further project goals.

Desired Qualifications, Education, and Experience:

  • BS or MS in electrical or electronic engineering, software engineering, or computer science.
  • Experience with ATS, VDATS, embedded controllers, and working with DoD projects desired.
  • Development in C/C++/C# for Microsoft Windows.
  • Experience with XML data processing and an understanding of IEEE STD-1671 ATML are all helpful.
  • Experience rehosting TPS and ATLAS programming for ATS.
  • Experience with product development and sustainment is a plus.
  • Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills.
  • Local presence in Warner Robins, GA, required.

Ability to obtain/maintain SECRET clearance required for select contracts.
