2027 Systems Integration and Test Engineer Graduate Intern

What you'd do

• Work in a team to lead systems engineering and integration knowledge in defining and developing a mission, organizational, physical, functional, signal, hardware/software, and operational interfaces.
• Help with high-level and detailed test planning, test architecture, test design, test execution, test and data evaluation, anomaly and deficiency, resolution, and residual risk assessment for operationally realistic and system performance testing.
• Work in a team to lead and support space constellation or architecture, space vehicle, ground, or user equipment design studies; types of studies can include both small, individual efforts as well as larger, multidisciplinary teams of subject matter experts.
• Provide direct integration support to programs in all phases of the acquisition life cycle through Launch and Initialization and Operations.
• Assisting with development, maintenance, and improvement of design tools and models used during constellation/architecture Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), spacecraft design, space ground segment, or user equipment, and analysis activities.
• Also assist with the requirements for engineering models, simulations, test beds, and special test equipment for all organizations involved with system testing.
• Work in a team environment to apply systems engineering expertise on requirements analysis, concept/technology development, architecture analysis, risk assessments, and test & evaluation for space (or other) systems.
• Conduct systems, and systems of systems analysis and trade studies utilizing MBSE.
• Capture system requirements traceability within the system architecture model.
• Apply MBSE methodology to develop system architectural views using Systems Modeling Language (e.g., SysML).
• Collaborating with and learning from staff, program office personnel, as well as other members of Aerospace’s Engineering Technology Group, including the large cohort of Aerospace interns.
