Job Description:

Job ID: 6717

We are seeking an undergraduate or graduate student to assist in developing and documenting the design and requirements for the Distributed Common Ground System (DGCS). The DoD's DCGS is a family of fixed and deployable ground processing systems that support the real-time collection, analysis, and dissemination of intelligence and imagery from manned and unmanned reconnaissance sources.

This position is year-round, part-time employment, not a summer internship. The work week consists of 15-20 hours per week during school and 30-40 hours per week during the summer. Students design their schedule each semester to accommodate their classes. We simply require that they work their hours on weekdays between 7am-6pm. Students generally keep their position until they graduate and up to 1 semester after graduation as they apply for full time positions. This position is in the C4ISR division, MSB branch. There are multiple openings for this position. We are somewhat flexible on a start date but generally we are looking for candidates to start in the next 2 months.

Students on our team design, create, and review technical drawings and requirements documentation under the supervision of a full time system engineer. Students learn and follow the same processes as our full time system engineers and will interact frequently with other team members. Job-specific training will be provided.
