Internship provides an opportunity to gain valuable work experience related to your field of study. You will be engaged in paid, full-time work that allows you to apply classroom theories to space-flight missions. Your experience will also help you determine whether a career with the Space Program is right for you. If that is the case, your new skills and knowledge will help you begin your career at a higher level of responsibility and productivity.
The successful candidate will provide technical mechanical engineering expertise to assist and support the ES62 Space Station Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Removal, Advanced Exploration Systems (AES) Life Support Systems (LSS), and ES62 International Space Station (ISS) Environmental ControlLife Support System (ECLSS) Sustaining Engineering. Support includes, but is not limited to: system engineering; mechanical design and modeling of specialized test articles, test stands, and test support equipment; mechanical structure analysis; testing of development systems; systems verification; material procurement tracking; build-up of simulators; procedure writing; participation in meetings and design reviews. Support will include tasks to support test protocols, test apparatus, conduction of tests, test stand build-ups, and interpretation and reporting of test results. This position encompasses duties and responsibilities for maintaining Life Support Systems aboard the ISS, discovering methodologies for making existing ISS ECLSS systems more efficient, and for troubleshooting and correcting anomalous phenomena aboard the ISS.
The educational requirement is enrollment in a university or college program leading to a BS degree in Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering or related field. An ABET accredited program is preferred.
Must be able to provide own transportation.
