Summer Intern- Quality/Metrology, Columbia, MD

Join our Quality / Metrology team for a hands-on summer internship building tools that will be used by service centers across the nation. You'll work with engineers and metrologists to design and deliver a web-based dashboard and automated analytics pipeline that centralizes calibration and metrology data, streamlines decision-making, and reduces ad-hoc email/phone coordination. This is an excellent opportunity to combine software engineering, data analysis, and practical metrology knowledge - you'll deliver production-ready software, own recurring monthly analytics, and hand off a documented, tested solution!

Your tasks Design and build a web-based dashboard (frontend backend) to display calibration and metrology metrics with real-time or scheduled updates. Implement data pipelines and automated analyses to support calibration-interval adjustment recommendations and produce monthly reports. Create an easy-to-use mechanism (dashboard pages, alerts, or documentation portal) for Satellite Labs to view metrology requirements and status.

Collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements, estimate work, and iterate on functionality; demonstrate progress in regular check-ins. Produce unit/integration tests, deployment scripts, documentation, and a hand-off package so the tool is maintainable and reproducible. Provide training and onboarding materials for users and support initial adoption.
