As an Amentum Space Exploration Division (ASED) intern, you will work alongside engineers and scientists on hardware development, payload integration & operations, laboratory & test operations, modeling & simulation, space environments, scientific research and propulsion systems for programs like Human Landing Systems, Space Launch Systems and the International Space Station

Duties

Typical responsibilities may include but are not limited to the following\:

Model, simulate, and analyze vehicle and spacecraft dynamics Analysis of launch vehicle and spacecraft multi-body dynamics, equations of motion, and trajectories to assess contact and clearance during liftoff, separation, and jettison events Develop, modify, and maintain software simulators, tools, and scripts Create, edit, and debug software written in Python, C/C , Matlab, and Simulink Support verification and validation of technical products Prepare and present technical reports and/or briefings Create and review engineering and software documentation

Expectations included in the ASED Internship\:

You are expected to have a valid driver’s license, have access to an automobile, and be able to drive yourself to work locations. NOTICE\: As of May 7, your state-issued drivers’ license must be a Star License, since NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center is located on the Army’s Redstone Arsenal, a Federal installation. You will be expected to attend MSFC facility scheduled tours, Technical Fellow talks, luncheons, and training sessions in addition to your work. We highly encourage you to participate in activities outside of work with your fellow interns. These activities will be scheduled, with your input, by your social coordinators and will be beneficial in forming a cohesive group and lasting friendships. *
