Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The intern will assist in the development and analysis of flight test missions for U.S. Missile Defense Weapon Systems. Responsibilities include optimizing test assets, designing target trajectories, and performing safety and orbital collision avoidance analysis.
Candidates must be pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Physics, Mathematics, or a related discipline with a minimum 3.0 GPA. Applicants must possess knowledge of MATLAB and be able to obtain a Secret level security clearance.
Do you enjoy a fast-paced work environment with opportunities to collaborate across multiple technical areas?
If you find it rewarding to step back from a problem and view the interactions and relationships between subsystems when pursuing the “big-picture” solution, then this may be the opportunity for you!
We are seeking a Systems Engineering Test and Evaluation Intern to join our team of problem solvers! In this role, you'll find opportunities to pursue bold and creative approaches to help us improve the performance of operational systems in innovative new ways. You’ll be joining a group of hardworking technical specialists who challenge themselves daily in addressing the evolving threats to the nation's defense.
In this internship, you will learn how a flight test mission goes from a conceptual idea to a layered scenario that tests the latest technological developments in U.S. Missile Defense Weapon Systems. You will gain direct experience in how these missions are planned and carried out and how vehicle systems are conceived, developed and fielded. Throughout your internship, we will strive to balance your technical growth in the specific areas of flight dynamics, and orbital mechanics with an understanding of the larger system objectives.
You will help develop new tools and learn to perform analysis associated in these technical areas:
