Technician Apprentice Internship

Overview The Test Facilities Operation, Maintenance and Engineering (TFOME) contract at the NASA Glenn Research Center provides engineering and technical services in the aeropropulsion and space propulsion and power test facilities. Our goal is to create a short‑term entry‑level work program for employment of graduating high school students who attend vocational trade schools and desire a technical career in the fields of mechanics, electronics, electrical, and manufacturing (machining & metal fabrication, instrumentation, and welding) in a research environment. These offerings will connect trade school academics to a hands‑on experience in the workplace through job shadowing and internships. Principal Job duties : Train under mentors to gain entry‑level exposure in an Aeronautics /Aerospace R&D environment. Candidates will gain exposure and work experiences by spending their time working on relevant projects, learning about the field, and developing technical skills that relate to the overall testing, operation, and maintenance of unique research test facilities located at the NASA Glenn Research Center. Training is trade specific and may include design, fabrication, assembly, testing, repair, preventative maintenance, and troubleshooting of research and developmental test hardware associated with aeronautical, mechanical, manufacturing, electrical or electronic applications.
