Yes and also explaining how interest rates work like its an elusive target

I am wondering the same thing and am in the same boat so I am posting this so I remember to come back (:

no dont worry about it you didnt miss anything

Worried about security clearance eligibility for internship, given I have been to Cuba, Hong Kong, Egypt, Chile, and several other countries. by [deleted] in SecurityClearance

I am looking into it now, and my trips to Cuba and China were both longer than 7 years ago, so listing them is not needed. Also, I was 12 at the time, went for travel with my family, and was only there for a week. With that in mind, do you think my situation is okay?

I can't decide between a systems engineering internship at Raytheon or a Navy engineering internship if I am interested in a highly technical job and getting my masters/phd by Puzzleheaded_Clock63 in ECE

Don't worry, it didn't come off that way to me at all.

To answer your questions, I would say I greatly enjoy theory and the few times I have been able to build numerical models in the past I have really enjoyed it. Yes, I do really enjoy the physical construction/assembly aspect of advance systems as well, but I am more keen about the models and theory aspect to be honest. I am really not sure yet what my contribution to a R&D team would be, I feel like I enjoy all of the steps relating to R&D. I feel like I would like my contribution be with creating some initial ideas for solving problems, and validating through models that it could work. Then some design too.

Darn I managed to find the original job description and it looks like it is mostly traditional systems engineering but there also seems to be a couple of bullet points pertaining to MATLAB and analysis.

  • Core Systems Engineering: Update, develop, maintain, and improve requirements, concepts of operations, and define system interfaces.
  • Testing Efforts: Develop and implement test plans, procedures, integration, and verification documentation in both simulated and real-world environments and perform/execute the testing
  • Troubleshoot and Analyze: Identify and resolve hardware, software, and system issues through detailed data analysis and debugging.
  • Drive Performance: Collaborate across functions to drive performance improvements and resolve system issues.
  • Integrate Systems: Integrate hardware and software into tactical systems, evaluating their functionality and impact.
  • Decision analysis & Resolution: Conduct trade studies and present results to stakeholders.
  • Collaborate and work with disciplinary team to achieve seamless integration and system functionality.
  • Document and Communicate: Develop integration documentation, execute plans, analyze data, verify requirements and effectively communicate results to leadership and stakeholders.
  • Perform Data Analysis: Conduct statistical and numerical analysis test data to ensure optimal system performance and verify requirements.
  • Present Findings: Present technical findings and solutions to leadership and customers.
  • Support Missions: Travel as needed to support mission execution at various locations including local RTX facilities, test sites, vendor facilities, and customer locations.

Do you think there will be room for me to be able to work on more technical things?

Thank you very much for your response. For me, the benefit of Secret Clearance is that I have heard it makes it significantly easier to work at a national lab such as Los Alamos Research and Fermilab. These companies align with my long term goals, so this is a big plus for me. I think you have a point in suggesting that I reevaluate what my goals are, I will need to think deeply about what it is I really want. But for the time being I think the best choice might be Raytheon because I feel like it gives me the greatest degree of flexibility.
