Located in Pasadena, California, JPL has a campus-like environment situated on 177 acres in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and offers a work environment unlike any other: we inspire passion, foster innovation, build collaboration, and reward excellence.
As an Academic Part Time Intern, you will be a member of the Task Order Management Team and will report to the Manager, Task Order Management.
