About Resolute Solutions
Resolute Solutions is a Houston-headquartered Defense IT contractor delivering intelligent automation, SAP modernization, and AI solutions to U.S. military and federal agency customers. We hold triple small business certifications — 8(a), SDVOSB, and HUBZone — and an active Secret facility clearance. Our work supports mission-critical systems at the Defense Logistics Agency, the U.S. Navy, and other Department of Defense organizations.
We don’t waste time, talent, or resources. We’re growing the next generation of practitioner-engineers — people who can build production-grade automation and AI systems for federal missions — and this internship is the front door to that team.
Program overview
The AI & Automation Internship is a structured, paid program designed to give you real engineering experience. You’ll join a small cohort of seniors and progress through two phases:
Phase 1 — UiPath RPA Development: Earn your UiPath Developer certification, build production-grade automations against real business processes, and get embedded in our delivery practices alongside senior engineers.
Phase 2 — AI Development: Build AI-powered tools and agentic workflows using modern frameworks. Design, build, and demo a full-stack AI project of your own choosing to Resolute leadership. Top performers receive full-time offers.
Program length runs 26+ weeks depending on your academic schedule and graduation timeline.
What you’ll do
- Build UiPath automations against real business processes with code review and mentorship from senior engineers
- Develop AI-powered features and agentic workflows using modern frameworks and AI coding tools
- Complete a full-stack AI project of your own design — problem identified, built, deployed, and demoed to the team
- Contribute to internal Resolute product builds and federal client deliverables
- Shadow live contract work alongside Resolute engineers on DoD automation and AI engagements
- Document your work clearly
- Participate in async weekly check-ins and periodic in-person collaboration days at our Houston office
