Manage the full subcontract lifecycle for JPL, including market research, solicitation, source selection, negotiation, award, performance oversight, modifications, and closeout. Serve as the primary subcontractor interface, develop acquisition solutions, manage cost, schedule, and quality, and ensure compliance with NASA, JPL, and Federal Acquisition Regulations. The role requires expertise in strategic sourcing, supply chain and contract management, and government or research-and-development subcontracting.

Develop AI and machine learning systems for autonomous space and vehicle operations. Build planning, scheduling, resource allocation, constraint-solving, optimization, and execution algorithms. Develop deep learning and large-model pipelines for remote-sensing imagery interpretation, including training, deployment, compression, evaluation, and testing of VLMs, LLMs, and foundation models. Support automation of spacecraft, aerial, marine, and communications missions.

Supports task order management through contract documentation, compliance tracking, deadline monitoring, data audits, status reporting, and administrative workflow coordination. The intern will organize task plans and agreements, track funding and performance dates, maintain records and trackers, assist with deliverable follow-up and formal letters, and explore AI or automation tools to improve efficiency. The role provides experience in contract administration, data organization, process improvement, and operational decision support.

Develop and validate machine-learning and signal-processing algorithms for NASA’s multi-sensor ocean surface wind products. Build tested, documented, open-source Python software for satellite remote-sensing data, including retrieval, correction, harmonization, gap filling, regridding, and uncertainty modeling. Collaborate with international science and engineering teams, validate results against buoy, satellite, and reanalysis datasets, document algorithms, and support operational production releases and stakeholder reviews.

Designs, fabricates, tests, debugs, documents, and delivers prototype and flight power electronics hardware for space applications. Responsibilities include designing power subsystems and test equipment, coordinating hardware fabrication, conducting environmental and laboratory testing, developing engineering documentation, resolving technical issues, and supporting project schedules and high-reliability procedures.

Supports business administration for an avionics electronics organization, including budgeting, financial planning, workforce analysis, reporting, facilities and safety coordination, HR activities, and service center management. Develops financial analyses, dashboards, business metrics, and process improvements using multiple data sources. Maintains websites and databases, collaborates with business partners, handles confidential information, and serves as backup to the Section Business Manager.

Leads power electronics development for space flight hardware from concept through design, build, testing, and delivery. Responsibilities include developing board and system requirements, designing analog, digital, mixed-signal, power, and sensor electronics, creating task plans and budgets, conducting hardware and test reviews, documenting analyses and assemblies, and reporting technical progress. The role also supports advanced electronics technology development and mission proposals.

Design, implement, and test workstation-based and hardware-in-the-loop simulation software for avionics systems. Develop C/C++ and Python components, real-time embedded applications, and software interfacing with low-level hardware. Collaborate with project leads, systems engineers, and users to define requirements and designs. Conduct unit, functional, requirements, design, code, and test reviews while applying continuous integration and modern source control practices.

Supports the Avionics, Power & Instrument Electronics organization with budgeting, financial planning, reporting, workforce analysis, HR activities, facilities coordination, safety, and office or lab management. Develops reports, dashboards, and business metrics; maintains websites and repository databases; supports process improvements and business systems; collaborates with internal partners; and may assist with management of a multimillion-dollar service center.

Supports telecom systems engineering for spacecraft and deep-space missions across design, requirements, link analysis, testing, verification, operations, and anomaly response. Develops interfaces, simulations, test plans, operational procedures, telemetry tools, dashboards, and technical documentation. Collaborates with spacecraft engineers and ground-station providers, supports mission operations and reviews, and contributes to proposals, trade studies, risk management, and flight readiness activities.
