Who can apply?
- Applicants must be pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in aerospace engineering or another relevant technical field. The posting does not state one universal undergraduate class-year minimum.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements
How to prepare a stronger application
Select one analysis and show the path from assumptions to model, validation and result. Be ready to explain units, boundary conditions, uncertainty and what evidence would make you revise the conclusion.
If you list a programming language, prepare a concrete example of code you wrote or debugged. The role values computation as part of an engineering process, not a disconnected list of software names.
