Examples include aerodynamic designs and multifunctional materials for airborne sensors, hypersonic platforms, and unmanned aerial vehicles, and the development of structural-material systems for space-based imaging and laser communication terminals, thermal management for high energy laser systems and RF solid-state devices. Engineering solutions are developed through the utilization of appropriate technologies coupled with high-fidelity models and multidisciplinary simulations, environmental and performance characterization testing, and the utilization and development of advanced materials to optimize solutions to meet ever increasing performance, size, weight, and environmental challenges. Job Description Overview Group 7-74 is seeking a highly motivated Spring 2026 Co-op student (approximately January through June) with an interest in applying novel machine learning techniques to solve aerospace engineering problems, for example, predicting the fluid dynamics around a vehicle. Duties could include the following: researching and implementing novel deep learning techniques, creating and running analysis models (CFD models, flight dynamics models, etc.), running of internally-developed multidisciplinary simulation software, analysis, research and development of new capabilities, and engineering design. The group values well-rounded candidates with a foundation in software development, and places strong emphasis on teamwork, adaptability, diversity of thought, and technical skills. Required Qualifications Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate engineering program (Preferred majors: Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering) Completion of a Machine Learning course Knowledge of fluid mechanics and aerodynamics Programming experience in Python, Julia, or similar languages GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale Preferred Qualifications Completion of coursework in fluid mechanics and/or aerodynamics Experience with physics-informed machine learning techniques for solving PDEs Selected candidate will be subject to a pre-employment background investigation and must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret level DoD security clearance.
