Internship dates: June 6th - August 19th, 2022

Intern will work with scientific and engineering staff supporting projects using Machine Learning techniques (including reinforcement learning) to enable autonomous systems and robotics.

Research Explainable AI and leverage this technology use it to detect bias in machine learning models and use distributed ledger/block-chain technology to enable governance and management of flight identifiers.

For all projects, intern will leverage the AWS machine learning tools continue to advance KBR’s knowledge and application of robotics and autonomy.

Other projects will include current Internet-of Things (IoT) and mobile computing technology to leverage these technologies for Edge Computing initiatives to develop and deploy processing at the Edge, as well as the research and development of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) software and hardware tools. Intern will develop an AR/VR solution to simulate real-world environments and facilitate activities such as remote maintenance of complex systems and virtual training environments.

Intern will collaborate with scientific and engineering staff supporting projects such as the development of a Cloud Security Strategy to leverage the built-in capabilities provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS tools used will include CloudWatch, Inspector, Systems Manager, GuardDuty, Kibana, and QuickSight, with opportunities for the addition of custom tools for configuration management, training, and other elements to complete a robust Cloud-based security framework for KBR. The framework will include an end-to-end DevSecOps platform designed to automate security requirements by embedding security controls and processes early in the DevOps workflow, and will help our customers continue to develop and apply new technology capabilities while retaining systems security.

Intern will spend the majority of their researching, installing, and configuring new tools, programming using the selected tools, and learning more efficient methods to solve a given problem.
