Internship High Performance Computing Engineer Jobs in Virginia

The Enterprise Effects Division (EED) drives integration of Aerospace's strategic capabilities across the national space enterprise. The divisionleveragesa broad array of engineering disciplines againsta dynamicportfolio of programs, customers, and national challenges. EED spans the capability lifecycle from concept and architecture design to performance assessment to application of space and space-enabled capabilities.

The Surveillance and Navigation Architecture Performance Department (SNAPD) in the Integrated Performance Subdivision aspires to be the premier forceadvisingthe evolution of national security and civil space enterprises,leveragingour modeling and simulation (M&S)expertiseto evaluateend-to-endarchitecture performance.

We areseekingaRemote SensingArchitecture PerformanceEngineerthat will make use of sophisticatedmodeling andsimulation tools in support of requirements verification, analyses-of-alternatives (AoA), and performance modeling for space-basedremotesensingarchitectures.

Work Model:

100% onsite at one of the three major Aerospace Corporation locations in ChantillyVA,orEl Segundo CA,or Colorado Springs CO.

WhatYou'llBe Doing:

• Support analysisin oneor moreof these specific mission areas: geo-spatial intelligence, signals intelligence, space surveillance,navigation systems,and/orspace protection supporting defense or intelligence capabilities.

• Provide analysis to support recommendations for research, development, and acquisition decisions of legacy and emerging customer space-based sensingarchitectures.

• Performarchitectureevaluationmodeling overall performanceusingin-house or custom-developed analysis tools.

• Workcloselywithsenior staff, management, and a team to translate customer needs into projectobjectivesandprovidequality controlled and assured deliverables to customer organizations

• Develop and presenttimelyand technicallyaccuratepresentations and reports that clearly communicate analysis results and provide recommended solutions to technical leads, management, and customers.

• Growawarenessofanalysis outcomes toprovide initial assessmentswhen neededand defend unanticipated results toboth internal and external stakeholders.

• Aid in sustainment, development, and growth of the organization's analysis and simulation capabilities to supportincreasingfunctional areas for our diverse customer base.

What You Need to be Successful:

MinimumRequirements forSenior Member of Technical Staff:

• B.S. degree in aerospace engineering, physics, operations research, mathematics, or a related field from an accredited program.

• 5 years ofrelevant educational, professional, and/or technical work experiencepost bachelor's degreein relevant topic areas (e.g., modeling and simulation, mission analysis, astrodynamics, or space operations.)

• Demonstratedtechnical leadership, personal accountability, and adaptability to changing customer expectations

• Knowledge in one or more of these specific national security space or intelligence mission areas: signals intelligence, geo-spatial intelligence, space surveillance, navigationsystemsor space protection

• Familiarity with one or more software languages that may include Python, C/C++, and/or High-Performance Computing/Linux environments.

• This position requires the ability to obtain andmaintaina security clearance, which is issued by the U.S. government. U.S. citizenship isrequiredto obtain a security clearance.

In addition to the above, theminimumrequirements forEngineering Specialistinclude:

• 8or moreyears ofincreasingly responsible engineering experience

• Professional experience withone or more of the following subjects:space-related modelingand simulation,geolocation,mission data processing, signal processing, space threats, resilient systems, advanced PNT technologies, algorithm design, software development,ormathematical modeling

• Proficiencywith one or more software languages that may include Python,C,C++, MATLAB, Fortran, Java

How You Can Stand Out:

It would be impressive if you have one or more of these:

• Graduate degree in one of the fields of study mentioned above

• Significant, firsthand work history in one or more of the functional/mission areas listed above.

• Academicor professionalbackground in systems engineering, modeling & simulation, orspace-based remote sensingarchitectures.

• Demonstrated responsible professional engineering/scientific experience, to include the ability to:

• Self-manage multiple tasks, deadlines, and deliverables

• Maintain deliverable quality and manage customer expectations

• Take direction, work independently, and develop productive working relationships

• Interact and collaborate across a diverse team indifferent locations

• Knowledge of Intelligence Community or U.S. Department of Defense business practices, acquisition policies, or space mission portfolios.

• Current TS/SCI access with polygraph.
