Recent interns have remarked that the internship program provided them challenging work, exposure to real-world projects, mentoring from experienced engineers, an opportunity to work with advanced equipment, insight into work life in a large company, help in deciding their future career directions, and excellent networking opportunities with other interns and professional engineers.
Basic qualifications are:
a strong academic record - particularly in math, science and engineering, as evidenced by a consistent or improving record of high grades (As and Bs),
technical success with challenging science or engineering projects, including effective communication of project results in written reports and presentations,
level-appropriate skill in the use of computers for office tasks, research, analysis of numeric data, documentation, and presentations, and
the ability to obtain a Secret security clearance.
Desired Skills:
experience and skill with data collection and analysis tools such as MATLAB, MathCAD, or Mathematica. (Applicable to Salary Grade ST03, ST04, ST05)
