Around here, we define the future.
We are a company of innovators, thinkers, creators, explorers, volunteers, and dreamers. But we all share one goal: to improve the world responsibly and safely.
The internship will be in Silver Spring, MD with a duration of six months. There is a possibility for full-time intern work during the summer and breaks. Once interns have demonstrated the capability for independent work and sufficient familiarity with specific tools and topics, some remote work may be considered.
This role will be fully integrated into the technical side of the team in the role of “Student Mission Application Developers”. The intern will have the opportunity to contribute individually and in small-team contexts. Work will be focused on the development, integration, and deployment of software for processing, distribution, visualization, and monitoring of observations collected from the GOES-R series of geostationary remote sensing satellites (https://www.goes-r.gov), via the National Mesonet Program (https://nationalmesonet.us/), as well as other operational environmental remote sensing platforms.
This internship will be part time up to 20 hours a week for local currently enrolled students. The primary onsite location is the headquarters of the National Weather Service in Silver Spring, Maryland.
The duration of the internship opportunity is six months. There is a possibility for full-time intern work during summer and breaks. Once students have demonstrated the capability for independent work, and sufficient familiarity with specific tools and topics, some remote work may be considered.

- Working knowledge of software revision control and specific experience with git
Optional Computing and Technology specializations:
As reflected in the background summary, TOWR-S work is multidisciplinary, and there will be opportunity for students' work assignments to have a specialization component based on how their academic focus matches with ongoing developments. Specialization areas of interest include:
- Scientific Visualization using javascript, and packages such as d3.js
- Processing of remote sensing observations for feature extraction and estimation
- Data sciences, including development of usage models and monitoring schemes.
***This position requires U.S. citizenship because of the sensitivity of work.***
