The hourly rate for this position is $17.25 for Undergraduate II and $18.90 for Undergraduate III and is non-negotiable. is open until filled Under direction, incumbents must have course work in the discipline requested on the task order Statement of Work. This Statement of Work encompasses the need for services a student can provide in technical and/or analytical support in the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) area towards systems integration of new and existing technologies to include autonomous vehicle and other ISR equipment research and development. The specific task requires use of both standardized and innovate laboratory-based research, development, and testing procedures to evaluate the effectiveness and plausibility of incorporating various ISR systems and concepts being evaluated and developed at Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC Pac). In addition to hands-on project work, the student will assist in ISR Department engineering analyses and assessments at the staff level, while working with Lead Systems Engineers from other NIWC Pac departments. These tasks will be conducted entirely at NIWC Pacific in San Diego, CA. This work will support the ISR Department Lead Systems Engineer and potentially any of the projects within the ISR Department that may or may not require a special clearance. There are currently over 160 projects in the department that are involved with areas including autonomous vehicles, port security, and airborne platforms. The department is developing and researching technologies that operate from seabed to space, illuminating the information darkness that can impede or limit our warfighting forces and decisions. While assigned to the Systems Engineering group at the department level, the student will support and assist with R&D and T&E efforts in any of the active department projects. In addition to direct project support, there are opportunities to participate in Department level and Center level activities that assist and improve engineering procedures and processes that are promulgated to all projects. In order to maximize efficiency and effectiveness of engineering tasks in our current fiscally limited environments, sound systems engineering processes should be made available, as well as understood, by project engineers and leads. The challenge is not only in attempting to have solid engineering procedures across the department, but also introducing new engineering processes, such as Model Based Systems Engineering. Understanding the areas of potential engineering improvement in all the projects is a big challenge, since projects are at different stages in their lifecycles, and there are varying levels of complexity and tasks in every project - having a single, mandated engineering process may not be practical in assisting all projects as a whole. Additionally, there can be engineering advantages gained if projects can be aware of the technologies and products every project is dealing with. Sharing of lessons learned can greatly increase efficiencies across the department. In today's fast paced environment, Systems Engineering is critical in maintaining our competitive advantage over our adversaries. These tasks will be conducted primarily Topside and Bayside, but may also include the other campuses at Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific in San Diego, CA. The student shall be involved in the preparation, performance and data analysis of R&D and T&E activities in various ISR Department projects, and with general ISR Department Lead Systems Engineer staff support. Responsibilities The student contractor shall provide analytical and technical support in the following areas as specified under individual task orders, to the work sponsor.
