JOB SUMMARY:

The NASA Pathways Intern Program provides students with the opportunity to
explore NASA careers and gain meaningful developmental work experience.

This position is located in the Systems Integration and Test Branch, within
the Engineering Directorate. The Intern will focus in the area of
contamination control and planetary protection for NASA Langley space flight
projects. Work with an experienced engineer to gain both analytical and
laboratory experience. Gain experience quantifying contamination
environments in the ground, test, launch, and on-orbit phases of flight.
Understand the effects of contamination on space flight products. Areas of
interest should include chemistry, chemical engineering, biology, materials
engineering, molecular mass transport, or physics. Intern will be heavily
involved in gaining hands-on experience in the laboratory with an emphasis
of thermal vacuum testing and contamination control techniques. 

KEY REQUIREMENTS

*       You must be a U.S. citizen
*       Cumulative GPA of 2.9 or higher on a scale of 4.0.
*       Must work at least 640 hours prior to completion of degree course
work.

DUTIES:

This position is part of the NASA Pathways Intern Program which is a formal
training program.You may be required to perform rotational assignments in
various organizations. 

The Intern will primarily work in the area of contamination control and
planetary protection. Intern will focus on increasing knowledge and
expertise in the subject areas of particulate contamination, space
environments, clean room operations, molecular dynamics, material
outgassing, and biological microbial reduction. Intern will work with senior
engineers to gain direct hands on experience in a laboratory environment to
create analytical models, develop tests, and interpret data. Intern will
gain wide exposure to a variety of analytical tools and laboratory test
equipment for meeting spacecraft contamination and planetary protection
requirements. Intern may be asked to work independently to create and
execute a number of developmental tests in the subject area, and document
the results.
