Innovative Defense Technologies (IDT) works closely with several universities to find qualified and motivated students for its Internship and Co-operative education (Co-op) programs. IDT interns and co-ops have the opportunity to work alongside professionals in the Software Engineering and Systems Engineering fields. They gain valuable, hands-on experience helping IDT build automated testing and analysis solutions for its customers in the Department of Defense (DOD).
IDT representatives frequently visit universities and review resumes to connect with qualified candidates. We do most of our recruiting for these opportunities in the fall, so please apply early in the school year. To find out more about our programs, please see:
