About The Position

The Solutions Analyst Intern works at the intersection of research, technology, and delivery, applying many of the core skills commonly associated with business analyst roles. In this position, you’ll gain hands-on experience helping transform innovative research ideas into clearly defined, high-quality technical solutions ready for execution. You’ll support the full lifecycle of research-driven initiatives by clarifying requirements, validating assumptions, reviewing system behavior, and ensuring outputs meet quality standards before release. Acting as a key alignment checkpoint, you’ll help keep ideas, documentation, development work, and final deliverables moving forward in sync. Working closely with research leaders, product and project managers, architects, and engineers, you’ll contribute to analysis, documentation, and planning that keeps projects well-scoped and aligned with business, technical, and operational goals. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys problem-solving, asking thoughtful questions, and connecting strategy to execution. By bridging research, analytical thinking, quality validation, and development planning, you’ll help reduce rework, improve delivery readiness, and support the transition from concept to real-world impact.
