AI Technology and Systems Co-Op (Winter/Spring 2027) - Group 05-52

MIT Lincoln Laboratory•Lexington, MA
•$23 - $32

About The Position

The Artificial Intelligence Technology and Systems group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory develops machine-learning algorithms, technologies, and systems for extracting information from speech, text, images, video, and other multimedia data. Its work also includes cyber-focused machine-learning technologies, counter-cognitive warfare technologies, deepfake, persona and graph technologies, AI security, and AI assurance. The group develops and evaluates AI/ML technologies using operationally relevant metrics and datasets, working with operational communities, cyber warfighters, and intelligence analysts to transition technologies to government use in deployed systems. The group is seeking motivated co-ops to assist with AI and machine-learning projects addressing national needs. Assignments may include research on state-of-the-art algorithms in signal processing, natural language processing, graph analytics, and/or adversarial AI for real-world problems. The successful candidate will work in a team-oriented development environment. The opportunity is open to undergraduate and graduate-level candidates pursuing a technical degree, including a Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D.
