The Aerospace Corporation is the trusted partner to the nation\'s space programs, solving the hardest problems and providing unmatched technical expertise. As the operator of a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), we are broadly engaged across all aspects of space- delivering innovative solutions that span satellite, launch, ground, and cyber systems for defense, civil and commercial customers. When you join our team, you\'ll be part of a special collection of problem solvers, thought leaders, and innovators. Space Systems Architecture Graduate Intern The Aerospace Corporation is hiring a Space Systems Architecture Graduate Intern who will perform architecture-level assessment, modeling, analysis, and conceptual design activities as a member of the Architecture Concepts Department (ArCon). ArCon provides expertise in architecture methods, processes, and tools to an extremely broad range of customers, including National Security Space (NSS) and other defense programs, NASA, NOAA, NNSA, DHS, and others. Interns in ArCon participate in and lead architecture trade studies, architecture conceptualization studies, architecture modeling tasks, and program assessment analyses at multiple levels of complexity, ranging from prototype systems to full scale acquisition systems in the space, ground, communications, and network domains. ArCon applies disciplined system architecting principles and leads cross-functional teams to provide impactful guidance to assist our customers in making key acquisition and operations decisions. The division leverages a broad array of engineering disciplines against a diverse and dynamic portfolio of programs, customers, and national challenges. EED spans the capability lifecycle from concept and architecture design to performance assessment to application of space-enabled mission effects. Apply disciplined system architecting methods, processes, and tools for architecture-level trades, in a broad range of architecture-level assessment, modeling, analysis, and conceptual design activities Participate in a space system architecting, conceptual design, and analysis activities as part of a large cross-disciplinary team of summer interns Develop and execute innovative methods for advancing the state of the practice of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and digital engineering (DE) to enhance our customers\' ability to conduct systems engineering across the architecture lifecycle. Use, develop, and integrate analytical methods and tools to evaluate architectural concepts and system conceptual designs for cost, schedule, performance, risk, resilience to disruptive events or threats, and other characteristics Work with Aerospace program office, customer, and contractor personnel to elicit and identify needs, requirements, and constraints for studies; Possess organizational, time management, and project management skills Currently enrolled full-time in an accredited college/university program pursuing a master\'s or PhD degree in Aerospace or systems engineering, physics, or related field Bachelor\'s degree in physics or engineering by the start of internship period Availability to work full-time for a minimum of 10 weeks outside of university term and ability to return to a MS or PhD degree program full-time after completion of the internship.
