System Administrator Intern

Description

Do Work That Matters

Leidos Civil IT division is focused on innovation and solving complex technical problems spanning infrastructure operations, cybersecurity analytics, and application modernizations. We rely on a team of skilled staff capable of operating across technical domains, embracing challenges, and being adaptable to new technologies and new ideas.

About the Role

This is not a traditional, siloed service desk role. As an intern, you'll gain hands-on experience supporting a secure, enterprise-scale environment with federally regulated requirements. We're looking for someone who is curious, proactive, and eager to learn-someone who can take initiative while collaborating with others to solve problems and deliver results.

About the Candidate

We are specifically looking for someone who can:

• Provide hands-on desktop support in an enterprise environment, including OS, hardware, and user-facing issues
• Diagnose and address network connectivity issues (e.g., access restrictions, firewall rules, DNS, VPN, IP/Port/URL filtering)
• Prepare and maintain physical computer assets and peripherals including imaging, inventory, shipping/receiving
• Operate effectively across multiple functions-including endpoint management, support, security, and asset management-without reliance on rigid team boundaries

Required Qualifications

• Currently pursuing bachelor's degree in information systems or related field
• Ability to obtain public trust security clearance
• US citizenship required.
• Ability to self-manage work tasks using M365 based tools
• Demonstrated and proven ability to independently resolve issues, improve day-to-day operations with self-driven initiatives, and operate with a growth mindset
• Exposure to basic administration of Windows desktops or other endpoint management tools
• Understanding of practical security concepts in an enterprise environment
• Located near Indianapolis, IN and willingness to be on-site in support of the mission

If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo - because the mission demands it. We're not hiring followers. We're recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. We're already at step 30 - and moving faster than anyone else dares.

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 onlyand 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.

Further, Leidos will only communicate with you through emails that are generated by the Leidos.com automated system - never from free commercial services (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail) or via WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. If you received an email purporting to be from Leidos that asks for payment-related information or any other personal information (e.g., about you or your previous employer), and you are concerned about its legitimacy, please make us aware immediately by emailing us at LeidosCareersFraud@leidos.com.
