Form of work
In the Secure Resilient Systems and Technology Group, we are software, hardware and electrical engineers, cryptographers, computer scientists, system analysts, and security architects who share a common passion for solving some of the hardest technical problems relevant to national security. We pursue innovative, high-impact, practical research in small, focused teams. We succeed by participating in all R&D phases, including problem analysis and innovative solution design, system architecture, rapid prototyping and field-testing, and ultimately transfer of our technology to DoD and Intelligence Community users, sponsors, and industry. Being part of MIT, we also collaborate closely with academia and publish our research in top-tier venues.
We have multiple exciting internship opportunities for students passionate about secure software, hardware, and embedded systems engineering; security system research; andapplied cryptography. As a Summer Research intern, you will help our group create advanced technologies for ensuring security and resiliency of next-generation mission-critical systems. Examples of such systems include both cyber-physical systems (e.g., drones and satellites) and pure cyber systems (e.g., cloud computing and privacy-preserving technology). Each intern will be mentored by a staff member and placed on a team to conduct research and development in one of the above or related areas. Interns will participate fully in our group’s activities, which include many educational and social opportunities. Candidates should be working toward a BS (junior year or later preferred), MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or related disciplines.
Knowledge/experience in any of the following areas:
- Computer security, operating systems security, and virtualization
- Applied cryptography, security protocols, and secure communications
- Software architecture, software engineering, programming (e.g., Rust, C/C++, Python)
- Embedded systems design and development (e.g., FPGA, VHDL)
- DevOps, software development lifecycle, including design, documentation, and testing
Demonstrated ability to convert vision into reality and effective communication skills are essential.
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.
