2027 Aerospace Software Engineer Undergraduate Intern

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract content: Intro paragraph: "The Aerospace Corporation is the trusted partner to the nation’s space programs, solving the hardest problems and providing unmatched technical expertise. As the operator of a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), we are broadly engaged across all aspects of space— delivering innovative solutions that span satellite, launch, ground, and cyber systems for defense, civil and commercial customers. When you join our team, you’ll be part of a special collection of problem solvers, thought leaders, and innovators. Join us and take your place in space. The Vehicle Systems Division (VSD) sits at the center of the ideas and data behind current and future systems supplying innovative research and development; technical evaluations during the acquisition process; conceptual and detailed design; assembly, integration, and test; and operational support. Comprised primarily of highly-trained mechanical and aerospace engineers, VSD provides national expertise in the areas of vehicle engineering; guidance, navigation, and controls; robotics; electro-mechanical devices; embedded systems; fluid mechanics; propulsion; thermal control; mechanisms; structures; structural dynamics; and dynamic environments. We are hiring an Undergraduate Intern for an opportunity in the Vehicle Systems Software Department (VSSD) with a passion for space and software development to be part of our team. VSSD performs independent verification and validation of flight software embedded within avionics systems aboard launch vehicles, spacecraft, and other vehicle systems. Our multidisciplinary staff provides technical oversight throughout the flight software development process, from requirements definition to day-of-launch and on-orbit operations. We develop high-fidelity closed-loop hardware and software testbeds to test the software to assess its readiness for flight. In addition, we develop and test real-time embedded software for CubeSats, drones and other emerging technologies. The selected candidate will be required to work full-time on-site at our facility in El Segundo, CA" That's about the role/company. Could be "About the role" or "About the company". We'll use

About the role

and put that paragraph(s) in

. Next: "What You’ll Be Doing Conduct tests and perform analyses of software systems embedded within launch vehicles, spacecraft, CubeSats, and other mission-critical components of space systems.Develop models of space system components for use in software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, and emulator-based simulators.Participate in the development and maintenance of these simulations to support software validation, on-orbit anomaly resolution, and day-of-launch mission assurance activities.Develop tools and techniques for enhancing analysis and simulation capabilities.Apply creativity and critical thinking to solve problems, contribute innovative ideas to technical projects, and work independently to troubleshoot challenges and propose solutions.Duties, responsibilities and activities may change, or new ones may be assigned as needed Training and mentorship will be provided." That's responsibilities. We'll put under

Responsibilities

with

• each bullet. We need to split sentences into bullet points. Let's list: - Conduct tests and perform analyses of software systems embedded within launch vehicles, spacecraft, CubeSats, and other mission-critical components of space systems. - Develop models of space system components for use in software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, and emulator-based simulators. - Participate in the development and maintenance of these simulations to support software validation, on-orbit anomaly resolution, and day-of-launch mission assurance activities. - Develop tools and techniques for enhancing analysis and simulation capabilities. - Apply creativity and critical thinking to solve problems, contribute innovative ideas to technical projects, and work independently to troubleshoot challenges and propose solutions. - Duties, responsibilities and activities may change, or new ones may be assigned as needed. - Training and mentorship will be provided. Now "What Corporate Skills You’ll Bring Strong written and oral communication skills Must work well in a team environment Possess organizational, time management and project management skills Demonstrate flexibility and ability to adapt to changing organizational need Interpersonal skills to coordinate efforts and work with other internal and external organizations" That's skills. We'll put under

  Skills

  with
  • . List: - Strong written and oral communication skills - Must work well in a team environment - Possess organizational, time management and project management skills - Demonstrate flexibility and ability to adapt to changing organizational need - Interpersonal skills to coordinate efforts and work with other internal and external organizations Now "Minimum Requirements What You Need to be Successful Currently enrolled full-time at an accredited college/university degree program pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering/Science, Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related discipline.Availability to work full-time for a minimum of 10 weeks outside of university term and ability to return to a Bachelor’s degree program full-time after completion of the internship.Minimum GPA 3.0Experience with Microsoft Office applications (Word, PowerPoint and Excel)Some background and/or experience programming in one or more of the following languages: Java, C, C++, and PythonThis position requires ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance, which is issued by the US government. U.S citizenship is required to obtain a security clearance.Transcripts required" That's requirements/qualifications. We'll put under

    Requirements

    (or Qualifications). We'll choose Requirements. List: - Currently enrolled full-time at an accredited college/university degree program pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering/Science, Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related discipline. - Availability to work full-time for a minimum of 10 weeks outside of university term and ability to return to a Bachelor’s degree program full-time after completion of the internship. - Minimum GPA 3.0 - Experience with Microsoft Office applications (Word, PowerPoint and Excel) - Some background and/or experience programming in one or more of the following languages: Java, C, C++, and Python - Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance (U.S. citizenship required) - Transcripts required Now "How You Can Stand Out It would be impressive if you have one or more of these: GPA 3.5 or higherRelevant course work or project experience in dynamics, control systems, control algorithm design, or modeling & simulationCoursework or experience relevant to launch vehicles and/or spacecraft (spacecraft design, rocket design, rocket club, etc.)Experience with software development processes and tools including compilers, IDEs, software engineering and coding standards.Experience with machine learning and AI developmentFamiliarity with Model Based Systems EngineeringExperience with embedded microcontrollers or microprocessorsBasic understanding in developing and/or testing real-time embedded software." That's "Preferred qualifications" or "Skills" maybe "Preferred Qualifications". Could be a section "Preferred Qualifications". We'll put under

    Preferred Qualifications

    with list. List: - GPA 3.5 or higher - Relevant course work or project experience in dynamics, control systems, control algorithm design, or modeling & simulation - Coursework or experience relevant to launch vehicles and/or spacecraft (spacecraft design, rocket design, rocket club, etc.) - Experience with software development processes and tools including compilers, IDEs, software engineering and coding standards. - Experience with machine learning and AI development - Familiarity with Model Based Systems Engineering - Experience with embedded microcontrollers or microprocessors - Basic understanding in developing and/or testing real-time embedded software. Now "Temporary housing assistance is not available. We offer a competitive compensation package where you’ll be rewarded based on your performance and recognized for the value you bring to our business. The grade-based pay range for this job is listed below. Individual salaries within that range are determined through a wide variety of factors including but not limited to education, experience, knowledge and skills. (Min - Max) $25.00 - $30.00 Pay Basis: Hourly" That's Pay. We'll put under

    Pay

    with

    stating the range and basis. We should not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Here we have actual numbers. Now "Leadership Competencies Our leadership philosophy is simple: every employee, regardless of level and role, can demonstrate leadership. At Aerospace, our commitment is our people. To cultivate our talent and ensure that we have a strong pipeline of future leaders, we want individuals who: Operate StrategicallyLead Change Engage with Impact Foster Innovation Deliver Results" That's maybe not a standard section; could be omitted as not requested headings. The instructions say we should prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. This could be considered "Leadership Competencies" but not in list of allowed headings. We could either omit or incorporate into Skills? Probably omit as not requested heading and not essential. Now "Ways We Reward Our Employees During your interview process, our team will provide details of our industry-leading benefits. Benefits vary and are applicable based on Job Type. A few highlights include: Comprehensive health care and wellness plansPaid holidays, sick time, and vacationStandard and alternate work schedules, including telework options401(k) Plan — Employees receive a total company-paid benefit of 8%, 10%, or 12% of eligible compensation based on years of service and matching contributions; employees are immediately eligible and vested in the plan upon hireFlexible spending accountsVariable pay program for exceptional contributionsRelocation assistanceProfessional growth and development programs to help advance your careerEducation assistance programsAn inclusive work environment built on teamwork, flexibility, and respect" That's Benefits. We'll put under

    Benefits

    with list. List: - Comprehensive health care and wellness plans - Paid holidays, sick time, and vacation - Standard and alternate work schedules, including telework options - 401(k) Plan — Employees receive a total company-paid benefit of 8%, 10%, or 12% of eligible compensation based on years of service and matching contributions; employees are immediately eligible and vested in the plan upon hire - Flexible spending accounts - Variable pay program for exceptional contributions - Relocation assistance - Professional growth and development programs to help advance your career - Education assistance programs - An inclusive work environment built on teamwork, flexibility, and respect Now "We are all unique, from various backgrounds and all walks of life, yet one thing bonds all of us to each other—the belief that we can make a difference. This core belief empowers us to do our best work at The Aerospace Corporation." That's maybe fluff; could be omitted. Then "Equal Opportunity Commitment The Aerospace Corporation is an equal opportunity employer..." That's boilerplate EEO, must be removed. Also "If you’re an individual with a disability..." etc. Remove. Now also "Schedule" section: Not present. No schedule info besides full-time on-site. Could we infer schedule? Not given explicitly. So we should not create Schedule section. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not. Now produce HTML fragment: sections in order: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills, Requirements, Preferred Qualifications, Pay, Benefits. We must use

    for each heading. Use

    • for lists. Use

      for prose. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's double-check we didn't miss any. From intro: we captured the paragraph about company and role. Did we capture "The selected candidate will be required to work full-time on-site at our facility in El Segundo, CA"? Yes we included that in About the role paragraph. Now responsibilities: we captured all bullet points. Skills: captured. Requirements: captured. Preferred Qualifications: captured. Pay: captured. Benefits: captured. Now check for any other substantive
