The MITRE Corporation is offering two internships to highly motivated
engineering and/or information technology students interested in focusing on
telecommunication solutions for people in the d/Deaf or Hard of Hearing
community for the Summer 2023 work period (June through August). The
internship provides an exciting opportunity to help develop, verify, and
validate telecommunications solutions for the d/Deaf or Hard of Hearing
community. Selected candidates will have the opportunity to strengthen their
knowledge in MITRE’s collaborative lab environment with an emphasis on
knowledge sharing and continuous professional development.

*Qualified applicants from the d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing community are
highly encouraged to apply.*

Project Information: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) MITRE
National Test Lab (NTL) for the FCC’s Telecommunications Relay Service
(TRS) has been established to support the FCC mission of data-driven
management and improvement of routine communications, and thus, quality of
life for people who are d/Deaf or Hard of Hearing. The lab focuses on ongoing
testing of two of the most fundamental FCC-funded community services today:
Internet Protocol Captioned Telephone Service (IP CTS) and Video Relay
Service (VRS). The amount and complexity of independent testing conducted by
the lab is expected to evolve in parallel with the growth of its inherent
capabilities. With independent verification and validation efforts, the NTL
captures “snapshots” of overall system interoperability and performance
observations and measurements using the same equipment and software as the
user community.

Responsibilities: MITRE is seeking highly motivated candidates to support
tasks that include, but are not limited to:
- Participation in technical research and development, requirements
validation, and use case development in support of the FCC TRS
- Assistance with hands-on testing and research activities involving VRS
solutions and products
- Work with the team to document and create long term automation testing
solutions that meet the evolving needs of the lab



Requirements:
Ideal candidates will be pursuing an undergraduate degree in Science,
Technology, Information Technologies, Business IT, or related discipline,
with an interest in systems engineering, business IT development, or other
similar technical disciplines. Candidates should have an introductory
knowledge of one or more of the following: business processes, computer
hardware and software, network standards, and scripting languages.

The applicant will also be expected to demonstrate the following:
- Sustained excellence in academic performance
- Fluency in American Sign Language (ASL) and written English, with effective
writing and communication skills
- Experience in any of the following technical areas: computer hardware and
software, networking, or programming
- Familiarity with standard Microsoft desktop tools
- Willingness to work in a collaborative team environment, both virtually and
in-person

Candidates should be prepared to commute to MITRE’s McLean, VA Campus to
complete work in person (as applicable per internship position's work
location). The work will consist of both virtual and onsite activities on a
weekly basis. MITRE Intern Travel Assistance may be available for candidates
not local to the Washington DC / Northern Virginia metropolitan area.
