Job Description
NIWC - Undergraduate II and III: (Sophomore - Senior) ISR Department Lead Systems Engineer Task Order: 5610-24233 Req No: 2025-18499
Category: Other
Type: Student
Salary: Undergraduate II: $17.25 per hour. Undergraduate III: $18.90 per hour.
Close Date: Overview The hourly rate for this position is $17.25 for Undergraduate II and $18.90 for Undergraduate III and is non-negotiable. This Statement of work encompasses the need for services a student can provide in technical and/or analytical support in the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) area toward systems integration of new and existing technologies to include autonomous vehicle and other ISR equipment research and development. The specific task requires use of both standardized and innovate laboratory-based research, development, and testing procedures to evaluate the effectiveness and plausibility of incorporating various ISR systems and concepts being evaluated and developed at Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC Pac). In addition to hands-on project work, the student will assist in ISR Department engineering analyses and assessments at the staff level, while working with Lead Systems Engineers from other NIWC Pac departments. These tasks will be conducted entirely at NIWC Pacific in San Diego, CA.
This work will support the ISR Department Lead Systems Engineer and potentially any of the projects within the ISR Department that may or may not require a special clearance. There are currently over 160 projects in the department that are involved with areas including autonomous vehicles, port security, and airborne platforms. The department is developing and researching technologies that operate from seabed to space, illuminating the information darkness that can impede or limit our warfighting forces and decisions. While assigned to the Systems Engineering group at the department level, the student will support and assist with R&D and T&E efforts in any of the active department projects. In addition to direct project support, there are opportunities to participate in Department level and Center level activities that assist and improve engineering procedures and processes that are promulgated to all projects. In order to maximize efficiency and effectiveness of engineering tasks in our current fiscally limited environments, sound systems engineering processes should be made available, as well as understood, by project engineers and leads. The challenge is not only in attempting to have solid engineering procedures across the department, but also introducing new engineering processes, such as Model Based Systems Engineering. Understanding the areas of potential engineering improvement in all the projects is a big challenge, since projects are at different stages in their lifecycles, and there are varying levels of complexity and tasks in every project - having a
single, mandated engineering process may not be practical in assisting all projects as a whole. Additionally, there can be engineering advantages gained if projects can be aware of the technologies and products every project is dealing with. Sharing of lessons learned can greatly increase efficiencies across the department. In today's fast paced environment, Systems Engineering is critical in maintaining our competitive advantage over our adversaries.
Responsibilities Duties will include the following:
- Conducting standardized and experimental engineering support with subsurface and surface Autonomous Vehicles in a controlled lab environment, and potentially in a controlled salt water environment in the bay.
- Performing data analysis using Microsoft Excel and appropriate statistical software.
- Composing and completing technical reports, system analyses, and assessments
- Assisting with the development of processes and procedures utilized by ISR systems in the collection and dissemination of data.
- Participating in Lead Systems Engineer meetings to assist coordination of engineering related events and presentations for the ISR Department and NIWC Pacific.
- Conducting relevant literature searches pertaining to the acceptance and execution of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices.
Qualifications The student must be at the
Sophomore - Senior level (Undergraduate II - Sophomore or Junior and Undergraduate III - Senior , have understanding of the discipline and theories, but can be without work experience. This level is expected to need training and supervision. Is not required to be an SDSU Student.
Minimum Qualifications - Area of Study: Any major. STEM and Engineering/Science courses are a plus. (Sophomore, Junior, or Senior).
Preferred Course Work - College level Math
- Computer Science or Computer Engineering
- Chemistry/Biology
Desired Qualifications - Expertise with MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and common statistical software.
- Interest and/or experience in engineering practices as well as software and hardware development.
- Desire person with strong work ethic, detail oriented, and good communication skills.
- Student available to work 10-20 hours per week during semester, and 15-40 hours per week during breaks preferred.
Additional Applicant Information - Due to the regulations established by the Department of Defense, only US Citizens may qualify.
- This is a student position and is limited to working 20 hours per week.
- This position will remain open until filled.
- San Diego State University Research Foundation is an EEO/AA/Disability/Vets, Title IX Employer.
