Systems Engineer Intern
for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information: ensure we don't lose any details.
Let's craft About the role paragraph:
"We are searching for a Systems Engineer Intern to join our Product Lifecycle Management and Computer-aided Design Tools (PLM CAD Tools) team at the Applied Research Laboratory (ARL) at Penn State. ARL is an authorized DoD SkillBridge partner and welcomes all transitioning military members to apply. The position is fully on-site in State College, PA. ARL’s purpose is to research and develop innovative solutions to challenging scientific, engineering, and technology problems in support of the Navy, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Intel Community (IC). For further information on ARL, visit www.arl.psu.edu."
That captures location and purpose.
Now Responsibilities list: the bullet points under "You will:".
List them:
- Provide day-to-day support for configuration and maintenance activities, including supporting upgrades, add-ons, and off-the-shelf and custom feature enhancements of ARL’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tool Teamcenter by Siemens
- Collaborate with cross functional teams with a focus on translating business requirements into technical solutions and ultimately working with the PLM CAD Tools team to realize those solutions through successful integration, testing, roll out, and training activities
- Application and database support utilizing Java, python, and proprietary Siemens configuration tools
- Configuration and deployment of Linux systems (including virtual environments), application configuration and programming, and database maintenance
- Jira Helpdesk user support, updating related application or process documentation via Atlassian Confluence, and ensure software is managed in Atlassian Bitbucket
- Ensure all required compliance and security requirements are continually met
- Investigate application issues, perform cause analysis, and take corrective actions
Note: there is a typo "Product Lifecyle" but we preserve as is? Should we keep exactly as posted? It says "Product Lifecyle Management (PLM)". We'll keep that typo? Might be okay but we could correct? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Changing typo could be considered altering. Safer to keep as posted: "Product Lifecyle Management". We'll keep that.
Now Qualifications list: required skills/experience areas include:
- Self-disciplined, highly motivated, and customer service-oriented
- Past success in providing ideas in written form for clear comprehension to an audience
- Demonstrated ability to work through a difficult problem, using proper steps to define and formulate ideas to reach a solution
- Demonstrated organization skills
- Current eligibility for access to classified information at the Secret level or higher and may be subject to a government background investigation to upgrade clearance eligibility, if required
- You must be a U.S. citizen to apply.
- Employment with the University will require successful completion of background check(s) in accordance with University policies.
- Employees must be eligible to obtain a government security clearance, participate in the ARL drug testing program, and comply with electronic and physical monitoring requirements applicable to federal contractors.
- Personal electronic devices brought onsite must be registered and may be restricted from certain areas.
But some of these are from BACKGROUND CHECKS/CLEARANCES section. Are they substantive? Yes. We should include them. However we must avoid duplication: some overlap with clearance eligibility. We'll include them but ensure not duplicate same meaning.
Let's extract from BACKGROUND CHECKS/CLEARANCES paragraph:
"Employment with the University will require successful completion of background check(s) in accordance with University policies. Notice regarding employment at the Applied Research Laboratory (ARL): Employees must be eligible to obtain a government security clearance, participate in the ARL drug testing program, and comply with electronic and physical monitoring requirements applicable to federal contractors. ARL operates in a secure information environment involving Unclassified, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), and Classified information. Personal electronic devices brought onsite must be registered and may be restricted from certain areas. You must be a U.S. citizen to apply."
We already have "You must be a U.S. citizen to apply." and clearance eligibility. We'll include background check requirement, drug testing, monitoring, CUI/classified info, device registration.
Thus Qualifications list items:
- Self-disciplined, highly motivated, and customer service-oriented
- Past success in providing ideas in written form for clear comprehension to an audience
- Demonstrated ability to work through a difficult problem, using proper steps to define and formulate ideas to reach a solution
- Demonstrated organization skills
- Current eligibility for access to classified information at the Secret level or higher and may be subject to a government background investigation to upgrade clearance eligibility, if required
- Must be a U.S. citizen to apply
- Successful completion of background check(s) in accordance with University policies
