Product Support Intern- Summer 2025

Come start your career with some of the brightest and most innovative minds in the country. Get your hands on actual projects, and at the same time, prepare for a truly awesome career in aerospace and defense. This is not your parent’s internship program – you won’t be getting coffee and ordering lunch. Our Interns have the unique experience of getting both mentoring and coaching while working side by side with recognized industry experts on real-world assignments directly related to their field of study. Bring your knowledge and desire to learn, and we will provide the experience. Summer internships are typically 10-12 weeks starting in late May/early June and work an average of 40 hours a week. Depending on satisfactory completion of certain criteria during your internship, you may be considered for a full-time position upon graduation. As a Technical Intern, you'll ask questions, get involved, bring your ideas, be part of an actual project team, attend planning meetings, complete assignments as tasked by your team, absorb and learn from your team and apply that learning to projects assigned. You'll have the opportunity to learn fundamental business processes and procedures, build your technical foundation through practice and mentorship, and participate in an in-depth program built by our University Recruiting team, that includes cross-functional workshops and meeting with leadership to gain understanding of the business and SNC culture.

Integrated Product Support (IPS) is the unified and iterative approach to the management and technical activities needed to influence operational and materiel requirements and design specifications for logistics support. IPS provides the management and technical process through which supportability and logistic support considerations are integrated into the design of a system or equipment and taken into account throughout its life cycle. It is the process by which all elements of logistic support are planned, acquired, tested, and provided in a timely and cost-effective manner. SNC follows the 12 integrated IPS elements per Army Regulation (AR) 700–127 and MIL-HDBK-502A. The 12 IPS Elements include Product Support Management, Facilities and Infrastructure, Computer Resources, Maintenance Planning and Management, Manpower and Personnel, Packaging, Handling, Storage, and Transportation (PHS&T), Supply Support, Support Equipment, Sustaining Engineering, Technical Data Management, Training and Training Support and Design Interface. Furthermore, the Design Interface Element reflects the driving relationship of system design parameters to product support resource requirements to include Reliability and Maintainability (R&M), System Safety, Supportability, and Human System Integration (HSI).
