This opportunity resides with Uncrewed Systems (UxS), a business group within HII’s Mission Technologies division. Uncrewed Systems comprises unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) and autonomy software.

HII creates advanced unmanned solutions for defense, marine research and commercial applications. Serving customers in more than 30 countries, HII provides design, autonomy, manufacturing, testing, operations and sustainment of unmanned systems, including unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) and unmanned surface vessels (USVs).

Leadership at HII is a mindset, not a title. Through our Leadership Capability Framework, we define how every employee grows, leads, and contributes—regardless of role. It sets the standard for how you can develop yourself and what you can expect from leaders across our organization. We look for candidates who want to grow in alignment with these capabilities:

• Know & Grow Your People – Commit to learning and supporting team success.
• Build Relationships – Communicate openly, collaborate well, and build trust.
• Take Ownership – Deliver on commitments and take pride in your work.
• Customer First – Focus on the mission and those we serve.
• Shape the Future – Bring ideas, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
• Act with Urgency – Take initiative and follow through with purpose.

These capabilities guide how all employees contribute to our shared success across Mission Technologies.

We are seeking a highly motivated Manufacturing Engineering Co-Op to support Lean Manufacturing and Continuous Improvement initiatives within our Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) programs supporting the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and allied customers. This role provides hands‑on exposure to real-world manufacturing challenges in a regulated defense contracting environment, working alongside experienced engineers and technicians.

The co-op will contribute directly to improving efficiency, quality, and flow on the production floor while gaining practical engineering experience in an organization that prioritizes mission assurance, compliance, traceability, and continuous improvement.

• Assist with Lean Manufacturing initiatives such as 5S, Standard Work, Visual Management, and waste reduction activities.
• Support Kaizen events and continuous improvement projects focused on safety, quality, delivery, and cost.
• Collect and analyze manufacturing data to support KPI tracking (cycle time, yield, scrap, rework, throughput).
• Help document current‑state and future‑state process maps and value stream maps.

• Assist in developing and updating work instructions, process flows, and assembly documentation.
• Support manufacturing engineers with process improvements, tooling updates, and fixture design concepts.
• Participate in New Product Introduction (NPI) activities, including prototype builds and pilot production.
• Provide shop‑floor support by observing processes, identifying improvement opportunities, and assisting with implementation.

Internships are available to help students gain real‑world experience in the work force. The intern will actively contribute to meaningful projects and work closely with a mentor and with senior leadership. Support…
