What is the difference between Internship Computer Science Postdoc vs Research Scientist?

AspectInternship Computer Science PostdocResearch Scientist
Required credentialsTypically PhD or nearing completion in Computer SciencePhD in Computer Science or related field
Work environmentAcademic labs, universities, research institutionsResearch labs, industry R&D departments, universities
Employer and industry usagePrimarily academic and research institutionsIndustry companies, government agencies, academia
Common search and comparison intentUnderstanding early career research rolesExploring advanced research positions in industry or academia

Internship Computer Science Postdocs are typically short-term research positions for PhD candidates or recent graduates, mainly in academic settings. Research Scientists usually hold PhDs and work in industry or research labs, focusing on applied or fundamental research. While both roles involve research, internships are entry-level and temporary, whereas Research Scientists are more permanent and senior roles.

Job description

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
THERMAL PROTECTION ENGINEER
This position within the thermal protection system R&D team will develop and optimize low density alumina-silica refractory insulators. You will have the opportunity to utilize your knowledge, experience, and creativity to develop novel solutions in spacecraft reusability. You will work on designing, testing and analyzing materials for the next generation Starship spacecraft, designed to make humanity an interplanetary species. Role will require significant interface with the design & production engineers, providing the opportunity to continuously improve the production design processing as the team works to establish aircraft-like operations on Starship.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Develop and execute experiments, procedures and tests on developmental components.
  • Design and develop thermal protection hardware to enable and optimize vehicle's heatshield on material properties and cost reduction.
  • Operate and use ceramic and chemical lab tools and equipment.
  • Work with process engineers to develop scalable production solution.
  • Collaborate with engineering staff from other departments and highly skilled technicians on a daily basis.
  • Manage and track multiple priorities while maintaining a focus on common project goals.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Bachelor's degree in materials science, mechanical engineering, or other engineering discipline.
  • 1+ years of experience in high-temperature ceramic or technical glass (academic projects, internships, and traditional professional experience all qualify).

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
  • Master's degree in an engineering discipline.
  • Experience with development of material systems from ideation to final product.
  • Experience working directly with system, design, and analysis engineers.
  • Familiarity with hypersonic, spaceflight, or re-entry operating environments, including material degradation mechanisms and failure modes.
  • Familiarity with TPS state-of-the-art and system level design.
  • Hands-on experience with TPS material, technologies and manufacturing.
  • Experience working on spacecraft or launch vehicles.
  • Experience in writing test plans and test procedures.
  • Experience interacting with CAD software and large CAD models.
  • Experience with data acquisition setup and field measurements.
  • Strong problem solving and critical thinking skills, with acute attention to detail.
  • Ability to rapidly change roles and responsibilities while working in a high-paced, challenging work environment.
  • Ability to work well in a team environment and communicate clearly and accurately with a wide range of people.
  • Overall mental fitness with the ability to work in a high-concentration, high-stress environment requiring prolonged mental concentration (under possible extended work hours).

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
  • Ability to pass Space Force background check for Cape Canaveral.
  • Occasional travel may be required.
  • Willingness to work outdoors.
  • 50 hour work weeks are typical, schedule varies depending on site operational needs, flexibility required.
