2022 Modeling, Simulation and Integration Fall Internship
About National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration and it is responsible for science and technology related to the solar system. The agency was established in 1958 to give the US space development a specialized place to research the Solar System. NASA succeeded the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) which began in 1946.
Your role
This position is with the Modeling, Simulation, and Integration team on the Spaceport Command & Control System project at NASA/KSC. In addition to our responsibilities of developing simulation software for the command & control system, we provide tools to improve the software development process and lifecycle. This student opportunity will be to design and develop model components and/or related simulation software to enhance the simulation software developer's work. We have a number of tasks in mind that could be worked on during the term based on the applicant's skills and abilities. The expected outcome of this opportunity will be fully tested software that can be used by the simulation software development team, along with operation documentation and users guide as appropriate in addition to an overall intern experience report.
Training, development & rotations
We strategically hire our interns based on long-term potential and alignment with NASA’s future workforce needs. Specializing in multi-semester experiences, the Internship Program prepares you for a career at NASA and offers a direct pipeline to full-time employment at NASA upon graduation. As an intern, you are assigned challenging, meaningful work aligned with your academic or career interests, providing you with lifelong learning and growth opportunities, and cultivating a supportive community that offers you a home away from home.
Compensation & benefits
The estimated total pay for an intern at NASA is $32.00 per hour. As an employee, you will also receive the following benefits:
• Health & Insurance: health, dental, vision, and life insurance programs
• Compensation & Recognition: a comprehensive retirement plan, awards, and recognition
• Career & Development: tuition assistance, extensive onsite training, career counseling, and educational programs
• Life & Family: flexible work hours, telecommuting options, paid holidays, and annual leave
• Work-Life programs: employee assistance programs, family & dependent care, etc
Career progression
Throughout your Internship, you’re given the autonomy to define your own career trajectory at NASA. At the beginning of your internship, we will work with you to develop an “Individual Development Plan” that will help put your experience and path in your hands by defining assignments, training events, and learning opportunities that will help you achieve your career goals. As you get closer to graduation, we will evaluate your experience and consider you for full-time employment that would begin after you complete your degree.
