Intern - MDG Computational Analyst

All submissions MUST include GPA for consideration.

Corvid Technologies is seeking qualified candidates for an internship working with our Missile Defense Group (MDG) in our Huntsville, Alabama office. The MDG supports a variety of government (Missile Defense Agency, Navy Missile Defense) programs through modeling and simulation, testing, and system analysis related to the defense of the homeland and military assets from ballistic missile threats. Corvid’s MDG analysis includes missile intercept modeling using first-principle physics codes, aerodynamic modeling of missiles and debris, development of finite element models, computational electromagnetics modeling, modeling of BMDS radars, modeling of BMDS interceptor seekers, and analysis of BMDS sensor data (RF and EO/IR).

Example Responsibilities

• Analysis of system performance based on missile engagement using computational statistical analysis
• Evaluation and optimization of algorithms for sensors functions
• Generation of sensor signatures to stimulate Monte Carlo simulations
• Testing prototype software to identify improvements, bugs, and deficiencies

Basic Qualifications

A candidate must meet ALL of the below criteria. The candidate must:

• Be a student who is enrolled full-time and pursuing an undergraduate or graduate (preferred) degree from an accredited college/university AND graduating after December 2025
• Be majoring in Math, Computer Science, Engineering or related field.
• Have an overall cumulative GPA of 3.2/4.0 or higher (unofficial academic transcripts must be provided at time of application by uploading the documents to your application or profile)
• Be available to work full-time (40 hours per week) for at least 10 weeks during summer.
• Be able to obtain a U.S. Government security clearance (U.S. citizenship is a pre-requisite)

Preferred Qualifications

• Have an overall cumulative GPA of 3.70/4.0 or higher
• Experience with scientific programming languages (e.g. Matlab, Python, C )
• Good knowledge of statistical analysis & techniques
• Background in digital signal processing, radar analysis, or EO/IR sensor analysis
• Previous internship/co-op experience, leadership & teamwork capabilities, interpersonal communication skills, and activities (professional/community/extracurricular)

Why Corvid:

Founded in 2004, we are a group of over 300 engineers and scientists, about 3/4 with master’ degrees or Ph.D.'s, that provide end-to-end solutions including concept development, design and optimization, prototype build, test and manufacture.  We leverage the predictive capability of our high-fidelity computational physics solvers, indigenous massively parallel supercomputer system, prototyping plant, and ballistics and mechanics lab to investigate a variety of high-rate physics phenomena. 

The results are complex engineering solutions for a variety of applications; aircraft, ballistic missile defense, cybersecurity, motorsports, armor development, biological systems, and missile and warhead design and development.  These results are achieved with optimal design and cost efficiency due to the predictive capability of Corvid’s tools and our in-house, end-to-end integrated approach, which differentiates Corvid from the market.
