Software Engineering Co-Op - Fall 2025 - ASL

GTRI’s Cooperative Education (“co-op”) program offers you extensive opportunities to participate in diverse scientific and technological endeavors, use state-of-the-art equipment and rapidly improve your technical and leadership skills. The program allows you to alternate three semesters of full-time work at GTRI with semesters of full-time school.

The Applied Systems Laboratory (ASL) Systems Integration Division (SID) supports systems integration, system design, and product development projects for the Department of Defense (DoD) systems. SID researches military systems specializing in avionics, electronic warfare, autonomous systems, intelligence systems, tactical communication/datalink systems; and live, virtual, constructive training solutions. The SID team's engineering roles include Systems Engineering, Algorithm Engineering, Datalink Engineering, and Embedded Software Engineering. SID is seeking Co-Ops for the Fall 2025 semester. The student will work under the guidance of GTRI researchers performing one or more of the following activities:

• Creation of software requirements
• Design of software components
• Implementation of embedded software
• Integration and test of embedded software
• Creation of software technical data packages
