Project Engineering Intern

Standard Job Description

The Satellite Integration & Test Engineering Projects Intern joins a multidisciplinary team responsible for end-to-end integration, verification, and validation of the GeoXO spacecraft. The team delivers next generation Geostationary Weather Satellites for NASA/NOAA. Interns work with designers and systems engineers to apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools from Lockheed's AI Factory toolset to automate integration workflows and test-case generation, optimize the master build and test flow to reduce cycle time, and build data-driven diagnostics and test architecture models for complex satellite integration and test operations.

As a Satellite Assembly, Integration, & Test Engineering Projects Intern, you will:

• Lead projects supporting the development, peer review, release, and delivery of satellite work instructions, test procedures, and test software.
• Take part in working groups for satellite instrument accommodations and spacecraft subsystem integration.
• Support Systems Engineering in developing and verifying test requirements, including identifying test equipment and tooling needs.
• Learn and perform the duties of a satellite integration and test conductor using the principles of Satellite Test Engineering, including policy, procedures, process discipline, operations, quality, and safety.
• Prepare and present technical information for the GeoXO Spacecraft Comprehensive Design Review (CDR).

Plan, implement, test, document, and maintain solutions for integrating and testing in-house developed and COTS/GOTS components, subsystems, and systems. Translate customer contractual needs into system test solutions that account for technical, schedule, and cost constraints. Establish functional and technical specifications, resolve hardware/software interface problems, define input/output parameters, and ensure integration of the full system or subsystem. Review and derive testability requirements, and direct preparation and execution of test plans, procedures, and schedules. Coordinate subsystem and system testing with programs and other organizations. Interns may also take assignments in technical organizations (such as Electronics, Software, Facilities, or Manufacturing Engineering) during breaks from college while enrolled in an accredited degree program.
