Computer Science Internship - Digital Twin

Auria is looking to hire a Computer Science intern. This role is ONSITE in Colorado Springs, CO.

Summer Internship:
June 1, 2026 - August 28, 2026, end date flexible based on academic obligations.

We are seeking a Computer Science Intern to support the development of a digital twin simulation environment for space-based sensing systems. The intern will contribute to the development of a software simulation that models a space-based infrared missile warning sensor and generates realistic sensor-derived data products that feed an operational command-and-control platform. The work will support experimentation with human-AI teaming and operational decision support.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO DO:

* Develop software components for a digital twin simulation of a space-based infrared sensor

* Implement models that simulate satellite observation geometry and missile launch events

* Build software that generates simulated sensor detection events and tracking data

* Implement algorithms that convert simulation outputs into structured data products used by operational systems

* Integrate the simulation with an operational command-and-control platform to demonstrate data ingestion and event visualization

* Support the development of scenario simulations used to test operational workflows and decision-support tools

* Contribute to testing, debugging, and documenting simulation software

WHAT THE TEAM REQUIRES:

* Mission-Driven Professional:
Collaborative contributor motivated by the opportunity to develop cutting-edge solutions that protect and serve both the nation and the world.

* Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field

* Experience programming in Python, Java, or C++

* Familiarity with object-oriented programming and software design

* Experience working with data structures and algorithms

* Ability to work collaboratively in a team-based engineering environment

* Strong problem-solving and analytical skills

WHAT THE TEAM PREFERS:

* Experience with simulation development or modeling environments

* Familiarity with REST APIs, messaging systems, or data pipelines

* Exposure to scientific computing libraries (Num Py, Sci Py, Pandas, etc.)

* Experience working with Git or other version control systems

* Interest in space systems, defense applications, or command-and-control systems

* Experience with data visualization or geospatial visualization tools

PAY TRANSPARENCY:
The wage offered will be based on the selected candidate's college year. $22/hr.

- $33/hr.
