About the role
Systems Engineer InternAre you the kind of engineer who asks not just how something works, but how it all fits together? Are you interested in learning more about systems engineering that can be applied to address critical challenges in national defense? If you are pursuing a degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science or related technical field and want to apply systems engineering on tactical weapons systems, we'd love to have you join our team! We are looking for a Systems Engineer Intern who possesses experience or a strong interest in developing and implementing model-based methodologies, as well as an enthusiasm for Digital Engineering (DE) implementation for our Tactical Weapons Systems Engineering Group in the Force Projection Sector. Our team is responsible for enabling the realization of tactical weapon systems, ensuring reliability and integrity throughout the system development cycle. As a System Engineer Intern, you will: Work with systems engineers and Modeling and Simulation analysts to develop use cases and user stories for the purpose of enhancing the capabilities of modeling and simulation tools. Learn how to apply Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Digital Engineering (DE) tools on the development and evaluation of complex tactical weapon systems. 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, Computer Science, or related technical field.
Have interest in Systems Engineering and/or MBSE/DE implementation.
Have a minimum 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale.
Note:
When prompted to upload attachments, please include a copy of your college transcripts (unofficial transcripts are acceptable).Are able to obtain an Interim Secret security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Secret level 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 taken systems engineering course(s) as part of your degree program. Have previous internship experience applying systems engineering principles, processes, and/or tools. Have experience utilizing MBSE and DE tools and methodologies for the development of simulation, system models, and trade studies aimed at assessing system performance. Have familiarity or experience using systems engineering software, especially MBSE tools like Cameo or Magic Draw. Have experience (or interest) in developing and implementing model-based methodologies to bolster the reliability and resilience of complex systems. Have an active Secret or Top Secret security clearance.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
