Internship – Sensor & Phenomenology Engineering Intern

Internship Opportunity

Are you interested in applied Research & Development? Do you enjoy working in a creative environment, as part of a team of engineers, physicists, and computer scientists? Do you want to play a critical role in the defense of our country - at sea and at home from advanced missile threats? If so, we are looking for someone like you to join our team!

If you are pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Engineering Physics, Physics, or a similar major and want to work in an exciting environment to solve challenging technical national security problems, we'd love to have you join our team. We are seeking an intern to join our Sensor Engineering and Phenomenology Group to analyze tactical and simulation data and help develop system concepts to revolutionize defensive capabilities for the U.S.

As a member of our team you will...

• Analyze recorded data from live-fire test events to gain insights into system performance, particularly with regard to environmental effects/physics.
• Develop and apply detailed, physics-based simulations written in MATLAB, Java, C/C++, and Python.
• Learn and creatively apply machine learning, signal processing, and data science to real-world problems that no one else has previously solved.
• Develop novel instrumentation and algorithms for understanding RF propagation effects by directly measuring, recording, and analyzing RF signal measurements.
• Learn, apply skills, and advance the state of the art in our core technology areas of: signal processing, electromagnetics, software development, and boundary-layer meteorology.
• Communicate your results to technical leads, colleagues, and managers and receive feedback on the impact of your work relative to our group's mission.
