DoD SkillBridge Internships are available to help transitioning active-duty military personnel gain real-world experience in the work force sometime during their final 180 days of active-duty service. The intern will actively train on meaningful projects and work closely with a mentor and with senior company leadership. HII Mission Technologies (HII-MT) Internship programs are focused on placing transitioning military into internships that require KSAs, Education & Military Training similar to their current or previous military jobs; positions that could easily transition over to a full-time regular and permanent job with HII-MT. Objective The SkillBridge intern will train as a Senior Technical Data Maintenance Technician within HII Mission Technologies, supporting AFLCMC/WB weapon system programs. Under the supervision of an HII logistics or engineering lead, the intern will gain hands‑on experience in technical data development, sustainment planning, life‑cycle logistics, and technical order processes. The intern may participate in real technical data and logistics tasks. All work products will be reviewed, validated, and released exclusively by HII employees to ensure full compliance with DoD SkillBridge and representation restrictions. The intern will support technical data reviews, TO updates, logistics analysis, sustainment documentation, and depot‑related planning activities in direct support of the AFLCMC/WB mission. Desired End State (3‑Month Target) At the end of this training, the intern will learn: Technical Data Development & TO Lifecycle Apply USAF TO 00‑5‑3, MIL‑STD‑3048, and S1000D standards. Assist in developing, updating, and validating technical data and IETM content. Support CSDB workflows and technical data quality checks. Life‑Cycle Logistics & Sustainment Planning Understand DoD 5000.02, USAF sustainment policy, and Product Support Elements (PSEs). Support LCSP development, LSA tasks, and sustainment engineering inputs. Participate in depot planning and DSOR‑related activities. Maintenance Insight Integration Translate aircraft maintenance experience into technical data and sustainment requirements. Identify discrepancies, maintenance impacts, and sustainment risks. Professional Readiness Strengthen documentation discipline, communication skills, and cross‑functional collaboration. Prepare for transition into technical data, logistics, or sustainment engineering roles. HII Mission Technologies will benefit from the intern’s operational insight, maintenance expertise, and disciplined approach to technical data accuracy and sustainment readiness. Assumptions / Restrictions SkillBridge interns do not represent HII to DoD or Government customers. All work performed by the intern is training only and is reviewed, validated, and released solely by HII employees. Interns may train on base with HII personnel when authorized by installation leadership.
