Description
Are you interested in learning more about systems engineering, system security, digital engineering, or specialty engineering that you want to apply to critical challenges in national defense?
If you are pursuing a degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Cybersecurity or related technical field and want to apply systems engineering on multiple strategic weapons systems, we'd love to have you join our team!
We are seeking a System Realization and Resilience Engineering Intern with interest in the specialty engineering domains (i.e. reliability engineering, cyber resilience, nuclear command and control and surety) or interest in Digital Engineering (DE) implementation for the System Realization and Resilience Group in the Force Projection Sector. Our team is responsible for enabling the realization of strategic systems, ensuring resilience and specialty disciplines are integrated throughout system development, and supporting credible verification of strategic weapon systems. We lead efforts in systems engineering, system security engineering, test and integration, digital engineering, nuclear command and control, and reliability engineering.
As a System Realization and Resilience Engineering Intern, you will:
- Work on teams to support systems engineering activities with emphasis on using specialty engineering expertise to inform the realization and resiliency of strategic deterrent systems.
- Learn how to apply Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Digital Engineering (DE) tools on the development and evaluation of complex strategic deterrent systems and supporting infrastructure.
- Participate in systems engineering technical reviews, working groups, technical exchange meetings, and provide recommendations and advise that informs technical direction to programs sponsors
- Gain systems engineering experience on real-world systems.
Qualifications
You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...- Are pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Cybersecurity or related technical field.
- Have interest in Systems Engineering, Specialty Systems Engineering, or MBSE/DE Implementation.
- Have a minimum 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale.
- Are able to obtain an Interim Secret security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Secret clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.
You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you... - Have previous internship experience applying systems engineering principles or specialty engineering technical domains, or integrating engineering tools to realize DE.
- Have familiarity or experience using systems engineering software, especially MBSE tools like Cameo/Magic Draw and DOORS.
- Have experience (or interest) in developing and implementing model-based approaches to enhance the reliability and resilience of complex systems, including threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, and security requirements development.
- Have used MBSE and DE tools and methods to design, analyze, and optimize systems for integration, test, cyber resilience, including the development of system models, simulation, and trade studies to evaluate system performance and security.
- Have an active Secret or Top Secret security clearance.
