Maritime Electrical Engineer Intern — Shipboard Systems

Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC; Laurel (MD); On-site; USD 31,000 - 66,000; Part time

Job summary

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) is seeking a Maritime Electrical Engineering Intern with a background in electrical systems to support the development of advanced shipboard electronics—from initial concept through rapid prototyping and field testing.

You will work alongside a multidisciplinary team to design, build, and deliver innovative systems that directly impact national security missions at sea.

Qualifications

• Working towards a B.S. in Electrical Engineering.
• Have an interest in the design, assembly, or testing of electrical systems.
• Have demonstrated proficiency in analog/digital circuit design.
• Have experience with lab equipment (e.g., spectrum/network analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes).
• Have working knowledge of electrical fundamentals and tools.
• Are willing to work periodically on an U.S. Navy vessel with a complementary team of technical experts.
• Have a minimum 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale. Note: When prompted to upload attachments, please include a copy of your college transcripts (unofficial transcripts are acceptable).
• Are able to obtain an Interim Secret security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Secret level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.

Responsibilities

• Develop shipboard systems applying core electrical skills in analog, and digital circuit/circuit board design for rapid-fielding maritime systems.
• Perform testing and quality control for maritime systems in both a lab environment and during integration onto U.S. Navy platforms.
