2027 Internship – Hypersonic and Reentry System Development and Prototyping

On-siteInformation Technology$22.6/hrInternship
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the description. Key sections: - Description: includes intro about hypersonic and reentry system design, seeking passionate engineers, etc. This could be "About the role" or maybe "Responsibilities". The description includes: "As a member of our team, you’ll make key contributions to develop next generation weapon systems, ensuring their future effectiveness. You will be joining a collaborative team of engineers who work together to solve challenging problems in hypersonic and/or reentry system design. We are passionate about innovation and our team is committed to providing engaging work, having an inclusive environment, and supporting technical development." Then "As a Member Of The Concept Development And Prototyping Team You Will Contribute To One Or More Of The Following Efforts" then bullet list: Generate various CAD models for vehicle prototypes; Develop various software that models complex flight systems; Perform aerodynamic/aerothermal analysis on hypersonic vehicles; Utilize modeling and simulation tools to conduct trade studies and performance assessments of advanced reentry systems; Collaborate with cross-discipline teams to develop specialized reentry system designs; Produce reports and presentations to communicate findings to team members, external organization partners, and/or government sponsors. That's responsibilities. Then "Qualifications" heading: includes minimum qualifications: pursuing degree, GPA 3.0+, passionate about modeling and simulation, software development, vehicle design, aerodynamics, flight dynamics, or trajectory optimization; able to obtain Interim Secret clearance; US citizenship. Then "You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you…" list: experience with C/C++, Python, MATLAB, etc; proficiency in standard software engineering practices; experience with modeling and simulation tools; experience developing 3DoF/6DoF simulations; experience using 3D CAD tools; experience in thermal modeling tools; experience using mission level modeling tools such as AFSIM; previous experience with Navy/Air Force strategic missiles, hypersonic vehicles, or reentry systems; hold an active Secret or higher clearance. Then "About Us Why Work at APL?" includes description of APL, benefits, etc. This could be "Benefits" section. Also includes pay range: Minimum Rate $22.60 Hourly Maximum Rate $47.95 Hourly. Also mentions bonuses, relocation, etc. Also mentions schedule? Not explicit schedule. It mentions "For salaried employees scheduled to work less than 40 hours per week, annual salary will be prorated". No explicit schedule like full-time/part-time. So we may not include Schedule section unless there is specific content. There's no explicit schedule info, so we omit Schedule. Benefits: includes robust education assistance program, unparalleled retirement contributions, healthy work/life balance, comprehensive benefits package including retirement plans, paid time off, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, flexible spending accounts, education assistance, training and development. Also mention bonuses, sign-on bonus, relocation benefits, locality allowance, discretionary payments. Thus we can have Benefits section. Pay: we have Minimum Rate $22.60 Hourly Maximum Rate $47.95 Hourly. That's specific. So include Pay section. Skills: maybe we can extract from qualifications and "go above and beyond" as skills. But we already have Qualifications section. The instruction says use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to include. We have About the role (intro), Responsibilities (list of efforts), Qualifications (minimum qualifications and preferred), Skills (maybe we can separate technical skills like programming languages, tools). Requirements could be citizenship, clearance, GPA, degree pursuit. But we already have Qualifications covering those. Might combine. We need to avoid duplication. Let's think: The posting has "Qualifications" heading with minimum qualifications and "You'll go above and beyond..." which are preferred qualifications. Could treat that as Qualifications section. Could also have Skills section for specific technical skills (C/C++, Python, MATLAB, git, CI/CD, etc). But we could also put those under Qualifications. However instruction says we can include sections only when posting has real specific content. We can decide to include About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Skills if we want to separate. But we must not create thin sections. Let's see if we have enough content for Skills: we have list of programming languages, software engineering practices, modeling and simulation tools, 3DoF/6DoF simulations, 3D CAD tools, thermal modeling tools, mission level modeling tools, experience with Navy/Air Force systems. That's substantive. So we could make a Skills section. Requirements: could be degree pursuit, GPA, citizenship, clearance eligibility. That's also substantive. So we could have Requirements section. Qualifications: maybe we could combine but we have both minimum and preferred. Could treat Requirements as minimum qualifications, Qualifications as preferred? But the instruction says we can include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have both. Thus we can have: - About the role (intro paragraph) - Responsibilities (list of efforts) - Requirements (minimum qualifications: degree pursuit, GPA 3.0, passion areas, ability to obtain Interim Secret, US citizenship) - Qualifications (preferred: experience with languages, software practices, modeling tools, 3DoF/6DoF, CAD, thermal tools, mission level tools, Navy/Air Force experience, active Secret clearance) - Skills (maybe we could merge with Qualifications but we already have Qualifications; maybe we can treat Qualifications as the combined and not have Skills. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide to have Qualifications include both minimum and preferred? But then we would have a long list. Could still be okay. But we have separate sections for Requirements and Qualifications; we can split as described. Skills: maybe we can extract technical skills like programming languages, tools, etc. That could be separate from Qualifications (which could be more about eligibility). Let's do: - About the role: intro paragraph. - Responsibilities: bullet list of efforts. - Requirements: degree pursuit, GPA, passion areas, ability to obtain Interim Secret, US citizenship. - Qualifications: preferred qualifications (experience with languages, software practices, modeling tools, 3DoF/6DoF, CAD, thermal tools, mission level tools, Navy/Air Force experience, active Secret clearance). - Skills: maybe we could list specific technical skills like C/C++, Python, MATLAB, git, CI/CD, unit testing, Creo, Solidworks, Thermal Desktop, ANSYS Workbench, AFSIM. But that overlaps with Qualifications. Might be redundant. Better to not have Skills if it duplicates. Let's see if we have any other skill-specific content not covered: The posting mentions "passionate about modeling and simulation, software development, vehicle design, aerodynamics, flight dynamics, or trajectory optimization" under minimum qualifications. That's more like interest areas. Could be under Requirements. Thus we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We need to ensure we don't include sections with placeholder text. All have real content. Now we need to format:

About the role

... intro paragraph(s) ...

We need to preserve all substantive information. The intro includes multiple sentences. We'll combine into one or two paragraphs. Responsibilities:

maybe also mention bonuses etc. Could include additional compensation details: "APL may offer bonuses or other forms of compensation per internal policy and/or contractual designation. Additional compensation may be provided in the form of a sign-on bonus, relocation benefits, locality allowance or discretionary payments for exceptional performance." That's substantive. So include those in Pay section as part of

or

    . Probably better as

    covering all. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove "About Us Why Work at APL?" but we extracted benefits and pay from that. The rest of that paragraph about APL's mission, culture, etc. Could be considered "About the role"? Actually it's about the company. Could be included in About the role? But we already have intro about role. The "About Us" section includes culture, benefits, etc. We already captured benefits and pay. The rest about culture, mission, location, link to careers, EEO, accommodation statement. Those are boilerplate or generic; we should remove them per instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The EEO statement is boilerplate; remove. The accommodation statement also maybe boilerplate but it's about reasonable accommodation; could be considered boilerplate? It's a statement about accommodation; likely considered boilerplate. Remove. The link to careers maybe not needed. The description of APL's mission and culture could be considered substantive? It's generic but maybe still part of posting. However instruction says remove boilerplate, legal, EEO, etc. The culture description might be considered boilerplate but it's not legal. It's still promotional. Might be okay to keep? But to be safe, we could keep a brief summary? However we must preserve ALL substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. If we remove the culture description, we are removing substantive info? It's not required for job but it's part of posting. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. It does not explicitly say to remove company culture description. So we could keep it under About the role or a separate section like "About APL". But we only have allowed headings; we could put it under About the role as part of intro. However the intro already about role; we could add a paragraph about APL's mission and culture. That would be substantive. Thus About the role could contain two paragraphs: first about the role and team, second about APL's culture and benefits? But benefits we already have separate section. So we could keep culture description in About the role. Let's extract the relevant parts from "About Us Why Work at APL?": "The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) brings world-class expertise to our nation’s most critical defense, security, space and science challenges. While we are dedicated to solving complex challenges and pioneering new technologies, what makes us truly outstanding is our culture. We offer a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere where you can bring your authentic self to work, continue to grow, and build strong connections with inspiring teammates. At APL, we celebrate our differences of perspectives and encourage creativity and bold, new ideas." That's substantive. Also later: "APL’s campus is located in the Baltimore-Washington metro area. Learn more about our career opportunities at https://www.jhuapl.edu/careers." That's maybe okay to keep? It's a link; could be considered navigation? Might be considered boilerplate? It's a link to careers; maybe we can keep as part of About the role? But instruction says remove navigation. The link is navigation-like. Safer to drop the link and the "Learn more about our career opportunities". Also drop the sentence about location? Location could be relevant; but not explicitly required. Might keep location as substantive? It's not boiler
