Leidos is seeking a highly motivated Business Analytics and Automation Intern to support business analytics, automation, and data-driven process improvement initiatives. This internship provides an opportunity to gain meaningful, hands-on learning experience while working alongside professionals in a collaborative corporate environment. The Intern will assist with analyzing data, developing automation solutions, and improving reporting and workflows that support operational and strategic objectives. The Intern’s responsibilities may evolve based on business needs and the Intern’s academic background. This role is designed to provide exposure to real-world business challenges while strengthening technical, analytical, and professional skills.
Primary Responsibilities
Support the analysis, validation, and organization of business and operational data.
Assist with the development of low-code and automation solutions to improve efficiency.
Contribute to dashboards, reports, and data visualizations used by stakeholders.
Identify data quality issues and assist with root-cause analysis.
Document processes, assumptions, and results in accordance with team standards.
Collaborate with team members in a professional, ethical, and inclusive work environment.
Basic Qualifications
Currently enrolled as a junior or senior at an accredited college or university.
Pursuing a degree in Data Analytics, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Business Analytics, Finance, or a related field.
Fundamental knowledge of Python for data analysis or automation.
Ability to use AI-assisted development tools to support coding and problem solving.
Ability to work a consistent schedule during the internship period.
U.S. Citizenship required.
Preferred Qualifications
Coursework or experience with SQL or relational databases.
Exposure to automation, scripting, or data visualization tools such as Microsoft Power Platform.
Familiarity with time-series data, forecasting concepts, or statistical analysis.
Interest in applied analytics, process improvement, or operational efficiency.
Exposure to machine learning or AI concepts through coursework or personal projects.
At Leidos, we don’t want someone who "fits the mold"—we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, “what’s next?” before the dust settles on “what’s now.”
If you’re already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2… good. You’ll fit right in.
For U.S. Positions: While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.
The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline only and not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, applicable bargaining agreement (if any), or other law.
