The main requirements are that candidates be top-notch, responsible, self-motivated, honest, able to work well independently or in small teams, and be able to rapidly learn new languages, tools, and techniques as needed to meet mission requirements.
Applicants who convey a passion for developing quality code, through listed projects, a github link, or other software development experiences, will be given preference.
This is a paid cooperative/internship learning experience.
Minimum Requirements:
- Majoring in computer science, physics, math, engineering, or a related field
- Software development experience in C
- Ability to implement, understand, and maintain mathematical and scientific software libraries
- Must be available for full time employment within a year of completing this internship
- U.S. citizen willing to undergo background investigation and perform some work at at government or customer sites
Experience in any of the following is a plus:
- Cross-platform software development on Linux and Windows
