Job Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated graduate student intern for the summer of 2025 12week internship) to contribute to cuttingedge research in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resonator technologies. The research aims to enhance the design and operating techniques of MEMS resonators to improve frequency stability for MEMSbased clocks used in timing applications and reduce longduration position error for MEMSbased gyroscopes in inertial sensing and navigation.

Key areas of focus include improving resilience in challenging environments (high temperatures shock) while minimizing system size weight power and cost (SWaP). The selected intern will support the electrical characterization and closedloop performance of MEMS resonators contributing to advancing the state of the art in these technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist with the electrical characterization of MEMS resonators
• Support closedloop performance testing and analysis
• Work on optimizing frequency stability for timing applications (MEMS clocks) and position accuracy for inertial sensing (MEMS gyroscopes)
• Contribute to research focused on resilience in hightemperature and shock environments
• Collaborate with a team to improve SWaP performance metrics

Work Environment:

• Location: Onsite at AFRL on WrightPatterson AFB
• Travel Requirements: Minimal 020; No planned travel
• Working Hours: Standard 40 hours per week

Qualifications:

Required:

• Security Clearance: Ability to obtain a U.S. Government Secret Security Clearance
• Education: Must be pursuing an advanced degree in Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering or related field
• Computer Literate: Must know how to use computers and software applications.

Desired:

• SelfMotivated: Selfmotivated and able to work independently.
• TeamOriented: Capable of collaborating effectively within a team environment.
• Communications Skills: Have good communication skills both oral and written.
• Strong ProblemSolving Skills: Ability to analyze complex issues and develop effective solutions.
• DetailOriented: Meticulous attention to detail ensuring accuracy and precision in all tasks.
• Experience: Strong background in MEMS technology electrical characterization or control systems. Knowledge of timing inertial sensing or navigation systems is a plus.
