Group 53 -- Student Technical Assistant (Secure Resilient Systems and Technology)

In the Secure Resilient Systems and Technology Group, we are software, hardware and electrical engineers, cryptographers, computer scientists, system analysts, and security architects who share a common passion for solving some of the hardest technical problems relevant to national security. We pursue innovative, high-impact, practical research in small, focused teams. We succeed by participating in all R&D phases, including problem analysis and innovative solution design, system architecture, rapid prototyping and field-testing, and ultimately transfer of our technology to DoD and Intelligence Community users, sponsors, and industry. Being part of MIT, we also collaborate closely with academia and publish our research in top-tier venues.

Job Description

In support of securing space flight systems, MIT Lincoln Laboratory is pioneering the development of a secure-by-design software stack, from the operating system itself to the applications that run upon it, such as modular, resilient flight software and software cryptography. To further this larger vision of resilient mission support, we aim to develop a mission-generalizable, visually-engaging user interface as a framework for mission visibility and introspection. Under this effort, we plan to have the Student Technical Assistants develop the core of an interactive UI that will reflect and simulate mission commands and operations.

 

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.
