Graf Research interns have the opportunity to contribute to existing multi-disciplinary project teams by completing real tasking on existing Graf Research projects. GRC interns work alongside senior and junior level engineers, researchers, and developers to gain hands-on experience and mentorship. Internships can be full or part time and are completed on-site at a GRC office (Atlanta, GA, Blacksburg, VA, or Dayton, OH).

Internship positions are available each semester based upon project needs.  You are eligible for the GRC internship program if:

• Your major is Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Data Science or a related field

• You are currently:

• A graduate student, or

• A senior undergraduate with graduation within the next 12 months, or

• A junior undergraduate with related research and/or internship experience and can provide a letter of recommendation from a faculty advisor and/or prior supervisor

• Able to commit for at least one spring, summer, or fall semester (or quarter system equivalent)

Join the GRC team and gain on-the-job research and development experience, build your resume, and contribute meaningful work to existing projects.

Application Deadlines

• Summer Internships: April 15th 12:00pm ET

• Fall Internships: June 30th 12:00pm ET

• Spring Internships: October 31st 12:00pm ET

Here's what past GRC interns have to say:

"Graf Research supports you in tackling a variety of real problems from day one, allowing you to develop your skills as an engineer as you contribute meaningfully to research and software projects." - PhD Intern

"GRC is the first small company I worked for and interning here showed me how that affects company culture and career development as an early career engineer.  You contribute to research/software programs from Day 1 like any other full-time hire. Engineers have a diverse range in educational and professional background, so there are always people to ask questions to and collaborate with." - Master's Intern

"I enjoy working at Graf Research because I am able to work on real software products in a friendly environment while observing how their software team implements agile development. My favorite parts of working at GRC are that we are given practical projects that real end users will interact with, the friendly, calm environment, and the flexibility given to complete our work." - Undergraduate Intern
