Advanced Computing Lab Intern (Summer 2027)

What We Do At the SEI AI Division, we conduct research in applied artificial intelligence and the engineering questions related to the practical design and implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies and systems.

We currently lead a community-wide movement to mature the discipline of AI Engineering for Defense and National Security. As our government customers adopt AI and machine learning (ML) to provide leap-ahead mission capabilities, we • build real-world, mission-scale AI capabilities through solving practical engineering problems.

• discover and define the processes, practices, and tools to support operationalizing AI for robust, secure, scalable, and human-centered mission capabilities.

• prepare our customers to be ready for the unique challenges of adopting, deploying, using, and maintaining AI capabilities. • identify and investigate emerging AI and AI-adjacent technologies that are rapidly transforming the technology landscape.

Are you creative, curious, and collaborative? Do you enjoy doing meaningful and complex work? Are you interested in making a difference by bringing innovation to government organizations and beyond?
