Laser Air Monitoring System - Engineering Intern

More than five decades after humans last walked on the Moon, NASA is preparing to return astronauts to the lunar surface through the Artemis program. Leidos is supporting that mission by designing, producing, integrating, and testing critical human spaceflight hardware, including the Laser Air Monitoring System (LAMS) used to monitor spacecraft cabin air.

LAMS is a flight air-monitoring system designed to continuously measure key constituents of the crewed spacecraft atmosphere, including oxygen (O₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and water vapor (H₂O). Leidos is currently producing LAMS flight hardware in support of NASA’s Orion and Artemis missions.

Leidos is seeking a talented Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical, or similar Engineering student to support the LAMS program as an Assembly, Integration, and Test Engineering Summer Intern in Huntsville, Alabama.

This internship provides a unique opportunity to work directly alongside experienced engineers and technicians during an active flight-hardware production cycle. During the internship, the LAMS team will be executing hardware assembly and integration activities and progressing through system testing, verification, and calibration. The intern will have the opportunity to directly support these activities and gain hands‑on experience with the processes required to build, test, and deliver hardware for a human spaceflight program.

As a member of the LAMS team, you will support multidisciplinary engineering activities involving mechanical hardware, electrical systems, optical components, software, manufacturing, test, and systems engineering. The position requires the ability to support multiple tasks in parallel, contribute effectively in a team environment, and communicate clearly with engineers, technicians, program leadership, suppliers, and customers.

• Support execution of flight hardware assembly, integration, and test activities for the Laser Air Monitoring System.
• Work alongside engineers and technicians during LAMS hardware build and integration activities.
• Support execution of engineering work instructions, manufacturing operations, assembly procedures, and test procedures.
• Support system functional testing, performance testing, and calibration activities.
• Assist with collection, organization, review, and analysis of test and calibration data.
• Support troubleshooting and resolution of hardware, test, or integration issues identified during production.
• Assist engineers in evaluating test results against system requirements and defined acceptance criteria.
• Support development and revision of assembly procedures, test procedures, work instructions, and other engineering documentation.
• Support preparation for Production Status Reviews (PSRs), Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs), and other program technical reviews.
• Assist with documenting test results, engineering evaluations, and post-test reports.
• Support configuration management and documentation associated with flight hardware production and testing.
• Work collaboratively across mechanical, electrical, optical, software, manufacturing, quality, and systems engineering disciplines.
• Support engineering trade studies, problem solving, and continuous improvement activities related to LAMS production and testing.
• Assist with other engineering and program deliverables required to support successful execution of the LAMS program.

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a similar engineering discipline from an ABET-accredited college or university, with anticipated graduation in 2027 or 2028.
• Overall GPA of 3.0 or higher.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen.
• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative…
