Leidos, a leading defense, intelligence, and technology company, is seeking motivated and aspiring technology students for our Summer 2027 Internship Program (Starts May 2027). As a Network Engineering & Operations Intern, you will join our Digital Sector on the Global Solutions Management – Operations II (GSM-O II) contract at Scott AFB, IL. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience supporting the Defense Information System Network (DISN), one of the world's largest and most complex networks, in direct support of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA).
Your Opportunity:
As our team helps lead DISA's transition to next-generation telecommunication platforms, you will be embedded directly with our engineering and operations teams. You will learn how critical military communication infrastructure is designed, implemented, and sustained, giving you real-world experience that you can't get in a classroom. You won't be working on a test network; you will be performing real tasks on the live, global network that supports the DoD's most critical missions.
