Engineering Intern - Summer 2027
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove EEO statement, drug-free workplace, etc. Keep substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Opening paragraph: "We are looking for talented and passionate college students for the summer to join our Barrios team in support of work we do for government and commercial industries in human spaceflight. This is a unique opportunity for a college student (Sophomore by credit or higher) to have an internship supporting missions to low-Earth orbit, the Moon, and to Mars and beyond. This position will be in our Engineering department. The goal of this internship is to introduce the successful candidate to multiple engineering disciplines while performing a project in a designated area that is integral to achieving mission success. Each candidate will present an out-brief at the end of the internship."
- Note: "We will be accepting applications from September 28th until November 6th. Interviews will begin no earlier than October 21st. An unofficial transcript is required at the time of application. Please upload your transcript in addition to a resume." This is application instructions; we should remove application instructions (the instruction to upload transcript and resume). However the dates and interview timing might be considered metadata; but they are not job title or requisition numbers. The instruction says: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could keep the dates in a short paragraph maybe under About the role? But they are application instructions; we are told to remove application instructions. The phrase "Please upload your transcript in addition to a resume." is definitely application instruction. The dates and interview timing could be considered metadata; but they are not application instructions per se, but they are still about application timeline. The instruction says remove application instructions. Likely we should drop the whole note about dates and transcript requirement. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; does the timeline count as substantive? It's about when to apply, not about the job itself. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we drop that.
- Then: "Specific tasking may include, but is not limited to projects in the following areas Support to government and private space endeavors in human spaceflight. Support requirements collection and management.Development of tools / tool suites for mission or program readiness. Data analysisIntegration and presentationProblem resolutionStrategic and programmatic assessmentsProcess improvements and continued innovationTool developmentProject managementSystems and project engineering.Perform other duties as required."
We need to format as list.
- Required Education/Experience/Skills: "Students must be actively pursuing a bachelor's or advanced degree in an engineering discipline (Mechanical, Aerospace or Aeronautical Engineering); Math; Science; or Technology; from an accredited college of university.Sophomore credit equivalency (30-59) credit hours at the time of application) with a GPA of 3.0 or higher.Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, SharePoint)Excellent communication skills (in both written and verbal), integration, coordination and presentation skills.Excellent interpersonal and team working skills. Demonstrated ability to work well in a team and independently."
- Preferences: "Computer programming (Visual Basic, C#, Python, Java) in addition to your STEM background is a plus.Experience with SharePoint, Windchill, CAD modeling, or requirements management (e.g. DOORS) should be highlighted if applicable. Project or other leadership experience (in school, extracurricular, or internship), innovation or process improvement skills, ability to demonstrate technical understanding of complex situations and communicate to appropriate audience."
- Essential Requirements: list many bullet-like items: "Must be a U.S. Citizen and successfully complete a U.S. government background investigation.Applicant selected may be subject to government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.Work may involve sitting for extended periods.May require lifting and carrying up to 25 lb.Must have sufficient mobility to enter areas of test facilities where necessary.Generally, an office environment but can involve inside or outside work depending on task.Standard office equipment (PC, telephone, fax, etc.)Regular attendance in accordance with established work schedule is critical.Ability to work outside normal schedule and adjust schedule to meet peak periods and surge requirements when required.Must be able to work in a team atmosphere.Must put forward a professional behavior that enhances productivity and promotes teamwork and cooperation.Grooming and dress must be appropriate for the position and must not impose a safety risk/hazard to the employee or others.This position may require some commuting and traveling to other installations as needed."
- Then promotional: "Don’t miss out on this great opportunity; for immediate consideration, apply now!" That's application instruction; drop.
- Then drug-free workplace etc: remove.
Thus we need to decide sections.
We have:
- About the role: could include introductory paragraph about internship, mission, engineering department, goal, out-brief.
- Responsibilities: list of specific tasking items.
- Requirements: could combine Required Education/Experience/Skills and Preferences? Or separate Qualifications and Skills. The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections have content.
We have content for About the role (intro). Responsibilities (specific tasking). Requirements (education/experience). Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? Could split: Requirements = required education/experience; Qualifications = preferred qualifications? Skills = technical skills (Microsoft Office, communication, etc). But we have overlapping.
Better to follow typical structure: About the role (overview). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (required education/experience). Qualifications (preferred). Skills (maybe technical skills). Benefits, Pay, Schedule: none given, so we omit those sections.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So we omit Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Thus we will output:
About the role
... intro paragraph ...
Responsibilities
- Support to government and private space endeavors in human spaceflight.
- Support requirements collection and management.
- Development of tools / tool suites for mission or program readiness.
- Data analysis
- Integration and presentation
- Problem resolution
- Strategic and programmatic assessments
- Process improvements and continued innovation
- Tool development
- Project management
- Systems and project engineering
- Perform other duties as required.
Requirements
- Actively pursuing a bachelor's or advanced degree in an engineering discipline (Mechanical, Aerospace or Aeronautical Engineering); Math; Science; or Technology; from an accredited college or university.
- Sophomore credit equivalency (30-59 credit hours) at the time of application with a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
- Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, SharePoint).
- Excellent communication skills (written and verbal), integration, coordination and presentation skills.
- Excellent interpersonal and team working skills; demonstrated ability to work well in a team and independently.
Qualifications
- Computer programming (Visual Basic, C#, Python, Java) in addition to your STEM background is a plus.
- Experience with SharePoint, Windchill, CAD modeling, or requirements management (e.g., DOORS) should be highlighted if applicable.
- Project or other leadership experience (in school, extracurricular, or internship), innovation or process improvement skills.
- Ability to demonstrate technical understanding of complex situations and communicate to appropriate audience.
Skills
Maybe we could combine some of the above; but we already listed communication etc under Requirements. Could move those to Skills. However we already used them. Let's think: The posting includes "Excellent communication skills..." under Required Education/Experience/Skills. That could be considered Skills. But we already placed them under Requirements. Might be okay.
Alternatively we could restructure: Requirements = education/experience; Skills = communication, teamwork, Microsoft Office; Qualifications = preferences. Let's do that.
Thus:
Requirements (education/experience):
- Actively pursuing bachelor's or advanced degree in engineering discipline (Mechanical, Aerospace/Aeronautical), Math, Science, or Technology from accredited college/university.
- Sophomore credit equivalency (30-59 credit hours) at time of application with GPA 3.0 or higher.
Skills:
- Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, SharePoint).
- Excellent communication skills (written and verbal), integration, coordination and presentation skills.
- Excellent interpersonal and team working skills; demonstrated ability to work well in a team and independently.
Qualifications (preferred):
- Computer programming (Visual Basic, C#, Python, Java) in addition to STEM background is a plus.
- Experience with SharePoint, Windchill, CAD modeling, or requirements management (e.g., DOORS) should be highlighted if applicable.
- Project or other leadership experience (in school, extracurricular, or internship), innovation or process improvement skills.
- Ability to demonstrate technical understanding of complex situations and communicate to appropriate audience.
Essential Requirements (citizenship, background check, physical demands, etc.) Could be placed under Requirements or a separate section like "Requirements" but we already used that. Could add another section "Essential Requirements" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule, About the role, Responsibilities. So we need to fit essential requirements into one of those. Perhaps under Requirements we can include citizenship etc. Or we could add a separate section "Requirements" that includes both education and essential requirements. That seems okay.
Thus Requirements will include education, GPA, citizenship, background check, physical demands, etc.
Let's list essential requirements bullet points:
- Must be a U.S. Citizen and successfully complete a U.S. government background investigation.
- Applicant selected may be subject to government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.
- Work may involve sitting for extended periods.
- May require lifting and carrying up to 25 lb.
- Must have sufficient mobility to enter areas of test facilities where necessary.
- Generally, an office environment but can involve inside or outside work depending on task.
- Standard office equipment (PC, telephone, fax, etc.).
- Regular attendance in accordance with established work schedule is critical.
- Ability to work outside normal schedule and adjust schedule to meet peak periods and surge requirements when required.
- Must be able to work in a team atmosphere.
- Must put forward a professional behavior that enhances productivity and promotes teamwork and cooperation.
- Grooming and dress must be appropriate for the position and must not impose a safety risk/hazard to the employee or others.
- This position may require some commuting and traveling to other installations as needed.
We'll include these under Requirements.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat content. Let's craft final HTML.
We'll output:
