  • Help define verification methods and approaches for technical requirements
  • Help the team prepare for milestone gate reviews such as preliminary design (PDR), critical design review (CDR), test readiness review (TRR), and manufacturing readiness review (MRR)
  • Help execute tests such as Thermal Vacuum (TVAC) or Vibration testing; review and present engineering data and artifacts that verify requirements have been met

Requirements:

  • Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program at an accredited university in Systems, Mechanical, Electrical, or Aerospace Engineering.
  • Ability to see the big picture without losing sight of the technical details
  • Familiarity with systems modeling tools like Model-Based Systems Engineering / MBSE
  • Basic understanding of circuit design or embedded systems
  • Proficiency in Python, MATLAB or C++ for data analysis or simulation
  • Strong communication and organizational skills; ability to communicate across engineering disciplines
  • Ability to travel for in-person orientation and program kickoff as well as for final presentation at program completion

Preferences:

  • Previous internship, coursework, or project experience related to systems engineering
  • Experience with NASA/ECSS standards and a passion for "new space" economy and orbital mechanics
