Are you a STEM, technical, or cybersecurity student looking to make an impact?

ASRC Federal partners with the Department of War (DoW) to offer hands-on, real-world experience through the Test Resource Management Center Internship (TRMCi) Program.

We support the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering’s Test Resource Management Center (TRMC)—the organization responsible for overseeing the DoW’s National Test and Evaluation infrastructure. Through this partnership, we place students at Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB) locations, other T&E facilities, and National Cyber Ranges across the country.

As a TRMCi intern you will:

  • Work alongside engineers, scientists, and technical professionals
  • Contribute to cutting-edge Test & Evaluation (T&E) projects
  • Support missions that strengthen national defense
  • Gain meaningful, resume-building experience in a real-world DoW environment

This program is an opportunity to apply your skills, grow professionally, and be part of something bigger—advancing innovation that protects and empowers our Nation.
