"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.
