Job description

Do you want to build real-time processing systems that turn data from sensors, radios, databases, the "internet of things", and other sources into the critical information that lets decision makers act quickly, accurately, and securely? Are you attracted to the prospect of working through the unique challenges of putting these systems on unmanned air vehicles, handheld radios, or in a server farm with the best current and future processing technologies? Does doing all of this as part of world-class teams to help secure our nation's future appeal to you? If so, then keep reading to learn more about opportunities in the Embedded and Open Systems Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory (MIT LL).

We conduct research and development to prototype, evaluate, and transition next generation, high-performance, real-time, embedded processing solutions in support of national security. Our efforts focus on operation at the tactical edge on aircraft, ground vehicles, unmanned systems, radios of all sizes, ground stations, and bases operating across the globe. We use heterogenous computing (e.g., CPUs, GPUs, etc.), industry best commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products and practices, and community Open System Architectures to realize cost-effective and sustainable solutions for the nation's needs of today and tomorrow.

Our expertise and practical experience in hardware, software, signal processing, data processing, security, and systems engineering lets our teams work problems from start to end. Working through the steps of system analysis, requirements definition, architecture selection, software design, hardware mapping, system prototyping, and field testing, our definition of success is getting our solutions into the real-world making actual positive impact on our national security.

Position Description
We are looking for talented students to spend the summer working with one of our multi-disciplinary teams conducting exciting research and prototyping efforts in one of several areas. Internship projects vary from year to year and are based on current efforts at the time of the internship. All projects are technical and require a sound understanding of engineering practices.

Potential efforts include:
-Real-time implementation and optimization of advanced signal processing algorithms onto diverse computational elements such as CPUs and GPUs
-Development and implementation of high-volume, high-speed data processing stages on commercial FPGA offerings

To be successful in this role you will need:
-Completed coursework in Software Engineering related areas of study such as Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and/or Computer Engineering
-Project and/or work experience in implementation of software in languages and tools such as C++, Java, or commercial Hardware Description Languages (HDLs)
-Experience working in a technical project team(s)
-Effective written and oral communications skills in technical environments
-Previous applicable internship experience is a plus
-U.S. Citizenship required.
Selected candidate will be subject to a pre-employment background investigation and must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret level DoD security clearance.

MIT Lincoln Laboratory is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment and will not be discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, veteran status, disability status, or genetic information; U.S. citizenship is required.
