JT4 Skillbridge Program - Tactical Data Link - Field Engineer Internship at Nellis AFB, NV

About SkillBridge

Note: This opportunity is open to transitioning military members only. Non-service members will not be considered for this position.

JT4 is partnered with the U.S. Department of War's SkillBridge Program, which is designed to provide internship opportunities to transitioning military personnel during their final 6 months of service, thus preparing them for a full-time civilian position once they separate.

JT4's SkillBridge Programmer Internship is a unique 60-90 day opportunity for transitioning service members to obtain thorough OTJ (on the job) training from JT4's top technical SME's. During the internship, the service member will be provided a training plan outlining weekly tasks and goals to be accomplished. The goal of the internship is to prepare the transitioning service member for a full-time Field Engineer role at JT4. Some examples of required Field Engineer duties and responsibilities are outlined below.

Important: While the program is designed to prepare the service member for a full-time, civilian position, JT4 has no obligation to hire the intern on full-time or to continue the internship if it is determined that the intern does not meet expectations.
