4. Sophomore candidate must be in your second year of engineering studies.
5. Upper-level candidates must be planning on graduating with a Bachelors or Masters degree and entering the workforce on a full time basis between December 2014 and December 2015, OR, have completed a Bachelors degree and plan on returning to college in the Fall of 2014 to work on an advanced degree.
6. You must be working toward a BS or MS degree in Aerospace Engineering, Engineering Mechanics & Astronautics, Aeronautical Engineering or Astronautical Engineering; Mechanical Engineering or Engineering Mechanics & Astronautics; Electrical Engineering; Computer Science, Information Systems, or Information Technology; Applied Math, Computational Physics, Applied Physics, or Numerical Physics; OR Weld Engineering; Material Joining; Metallurgical & Materials Engineering or an Engineering degree with an emphasis on welding.
7. You must be able to complete an internship at any one of our locations listed below.
a. Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida
b. Decatur, Alabama
c. Denver, Colorado
d. Harlingen, Texas
e. Vandenberg Air Force Base, California
8. You must have motorized vehicle transportation to perform an internship assignment in California or Florida due to no public transportation to the Air Force Base and travel between different buildings once you are on the Base. Motorized transportation is highly recommended at all other sites as well; Decatur and Harlingen do not have public transportation systems.
9. ULA has a minimum college GPA requirement of 2.90 on a 4.00 scale; cumulative, no rounding. NOTE: To complete your application and be considered, you must submit your unofficial transcript. If you are selected for an internship, you must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.90 after each completed semester/term. Note that ULA only considers the cumulative GPA listed on the unofficial/official transcript provided by the institution that the candidate currently attends.
Engineering intern positions offer a variety of opportunities including basic engineering tasks related to design, analysis, test, integration and systems engineering. Opportunities can vary from design/analysis in support of existing ground, flight, test, or processing hardware for both launch vehicles and ground support equipment or systems, assisting in the design and development of future hardware, test development and performance, software design and test, systems engineering, mission integration, project management, quality assurance, system safety, launch operations, production operations, and even related business opportunities such as subcontractor management and procurement. Internships may require travel to suppliers, customers, or other ULA locations.
Interns will typically support one or more experienced engineers in performance of assignments, spend time shadowing actual operations, and have unique assignments that support larger projects - all enabling the intern to experience the day-to-day operations of engineering within United Launch Alliance. Interns may perform and/or participate in additional activities and events which help them build a strong network within the ULA community and with fellow interns.
A taxable housing/transportation stipend may be provided to obtain housing near the ULA work location if the successful candidate?s permanent home address and current college address are both greater than 50 miles from the assigned ULA work location.
