Description
Build bold. Deliver impact. Win together.
At General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada, we’re not just engineering technology — we’re shaping the future of defence and security. Our teams design and deliver advanced, mission-critical solutions that enhance national security, strengthen communities, and protect the people we serve.
If you’re looking for meaningful work that contributes to a safer, more secure world, you’ll find purpose here. Every day, your skills will directly impact programs that matter.
In this role, students contribute to the design, development, and testing of complex software and embedded/firmware systems supporting defence operations. These roles provide hands-on experience across the software development lifecycle, including coding, debugging, testing, documentation, and contributing to process improvements. The work supports key software systems used in land operations, deployed across vehicles, headquarters, and other operational platforms.
Key Responsibilities
Develop, implement, and test software solutions according to design requirements and coding standards. Assist in software integration and verification activities, including debugging and troubleshooting. Document code, processes, and workflows, maintaining clear technical records. Support automated testing and develop scripts or test tools where applicable. Collaborate with engineers, systems engineers, and multidisciplinary teams across the organization. Participate in team planning, code reviews, and iterative development activities. Gain exposure to software development best practices and industry-standard tools and frameworks.
Currently enrolled in a post-secondary program in Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field. Foundational understanding of programming concepts (e.g., object-oriented programming, data structures, software design). Exposure to programming in C++, C, Python, Java, or similar through coursework or projects. Exposure to version control systems (e.g., Git), software testing, and debugging is considered an asset. Exposure to embedded systems, firmware, or real-time systems is considered an asset. Familiarity with Agile or software development lifecycle concepts is considered an asset. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail. Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in a team environment. Demonstrated willingness to learn and apply new technical concepts in a collaborative setting. Experience working with or familiarity with AI/ML models is preferred. It is a requirement that General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada be registered with the Canadian Controlled Goods program and that all of its workforce be security assessed. Successful applicants must meet all applicable security requirements, including but not limited to the ability to obtain and maintain a Canadian government security clearance. Applicants may be required to meet additional security requirements in order to gain access to technical data, classified areas or information that is subject to international regulations. You must be eligible to work in Canada.
