Job description

Selected Interns or Co-op students will support object-oriented C++ software development in the following domains: space domain awareness (SDA), image simulation, space systems modeling, laser source generation and effects modeling, high power microwave systems modeling and simulation, computer vision, image processing, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), atmospheric modeling, computational electromagnetics (CEM), high performance computing (HPC), computer aided design (CAD) tools, meshing, thermal modeling, and more.

The main requirements are that candidates be top-notch, responsible, self-motivated, honest, able to work well independently or in small teams, and be able to rapidly learn new languages, tools, and techniques as needed to meet mission requirements.

Applicants who convey a passion for developing quality code, through listed projects, a github link, or other software development experiences, will be given preference.

This is a paid cooperative/internship learning experience. 

Minimum Requirements:

  • Majoring in physics, math, electrical/mechanical/aerospace engineering, computer science, or any relevant scientific or engineering field
  • Ability to implement, understand, and maintain mathematical and scientific software libraries
  • Software development experience in C++ 
  • Must be available for full time employment within a year of completing this internship
  • U.S. citizen willing to undergo background investigation and perform some work at government or customer sites

Experience in any of the following is a plus:

  • Cross-platform software development on Linux and Windows
  • 3D graphics using OpenGL, Open Scene Graph, WebGL, Vulkan
  • User interface development with Qt, Java Swing, Typescript, React, MaterialUI
  • Supercomputing, CUDA, OpenMP, MPI, threads, GPU
  • Image processing, imagery analysis, computer vision, computer aided design (CAD), meshing
  • Aerospace vehicles, orbital mechanics, electromagnetics, space domain awareness
  • Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning
  • Modeling and simulation
  • Directed energy (lasers, microwave), thermal analysis

A representative sample of your code will be requested early in the evaluation process, e.g. something you've written for work, a school project, or for fun. It should be long enough to demonstrate your programming and software engineering skills.

About Stellar Science:  We are a growing Albuquerque-based computational science company seeking talented computer programmers to create and extend exciting scientific and engineering analysis applications. We maintain high standards in all our software development efforts, utilizing modern development practices including continuous integration, test-driven development, pair programming, and code reviews in order to develop high quality, maintainable, and reusable code. By employing a lightweight development process, we remain highly productive and responsive to changing customer needs.
