As an Amentum Space Exploration Division (ASED) intern, you will work alongside engineers and scientists on hardware development, payload integration & operations, laboratory & test operations, modeling & simulation, space environments, scientific research and propulsion systems for programs like Human Landing Systems, Space Launch Systems and the International Space Station

The Amentum Space Exploration Group (ASEG) is seeking a Graduate Level intern to provide support to the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) Advanced Concepts Office (ACO) for Digital Engineering and Space Exploration System Modeling.

ACO specializes in concept definition studies for space exploration elements.  The Office consists of multi-discipline design teams that can provide fully integrated assessments of missions and vehicle elements.

Responsibilities\:  

The graduate student intern will work under the direction of experienced engineers and subject matter experts in the Advanced Concepts Office to support Digital Engineering capability development activities related to the integration of Exploration Mission system design capabilities into ACO’s Dyreqt mission and vehicle analysis tool. The Intern can expect challenging assignments such as\:

Developing a model library of composable mission segments in Dymos to enable advanced mission assessments and architecture trades.  Integrating Dymos-based mission models into the Dyreqt framework to enable flexible analysis of arbitrary mission profiles. Developing new methods for optimizing design solutions for various space mission architectures using OpenMDAO. *
