Group 33 designs, builds, and operates our own sensors and test beds.
We work with a wide range of technologies in a wide range of environments.
Our team does design work using laptops and supercomputers; we test our designs on benchtop setups and on towers; then we deploy them in deserts, boats, on islands, mountains, balloons, and on airplanes.
The data we collect and analyze will improve our understanding of national security challenges, allow us to refine our designs, or provide inspiration for new designs.
The successful candidate will assist our team in these interconnected efforts.
Assignments vary and could include working with hardware doing trade studies, designing a specific component, or testing system performance; working deep in the software building control code for a radar positioner, optimizing the speed of a specific data processing algorithm, or providing data analysis tools for a field operator; performing high-level analysis of an existing data set; or help model a test to plan the next experiment.
A multidisciplinary team is required to both develop advanced RF sensor prototypes and analyze the resulting data produced by them.
Therefore, we are looking for interns from a wide range of backgrounds, including candidates pursuing BS, MS, or PhD degrees in engineering, physics, mathematics, or other technical fields.
Specific project assignments may be tailored to the interest and background of the candidate.
