2027 Internship – Engineer – Advanced Warfare Systems Engineering & Integration

Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory • Laurel, MD

24d

About The Position

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory is seeking systems engineering interns for its Advanced Warfare Systems Engineering & Integration team. Interns will help develop performance requirements and designs for sophisticated combat and weapon systems, using systems engineering tools and simulations to study sensor, communication, and combat system performance. They will learn to apply digital engineering goals, practices, and tools early in system development to define and influence requirements, while building an understanding of systems engineering principles and practices. The team applies systems engineering across the full life cycle of emerging system-of-systems capabilities and works in traditional and model-based systems engineering, digital engineering, systems analysis and integration, and verification and validation. The role also involves supporting international system efforts.

Requirements

• Be pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or another related technical field.
• Have a minimum 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale.
• Be able to obtain an Interim Secret security clearance by the start date and ultimately obtain a Final Secret security clearance; U.S. citizenship is required for eligibility.

Nice To Haves

• Proficiency in Python or MATLAB, or background writing analytical scripts or programs.
• Experience with data collection and analysis.
• Experience in model-based systems engineering (MBSE) or modeling and simulation (M&S).
• Experience working in small groups within an agile framework.

Responsibilities

• Help develop performance requirements and designs for combat and weapon systems.
• Use systems engineering tools and simulations to analyze sensor, communication, and combat system performance.
• Apply digital engineering goals, practices, and tools to define and influence system requirements.
