An internship with real-world application Mentoring, training, and practical work experience in a world-class research environment
Each year, Sandia welcomes students from around the country—from those in their final years of high school to researchers obtaining PhDs—to work in a variety of technical and business positions.
Interns work on real-world, challenging projects to contribute to critical national goals.
Many of our research internships can be experienced through technical institutes that encompass a range of disciplines, including cyber security, energy surety, engineering design, and software development. Each institute provides a team to guide and mentor interns in projects aligned with their major or area of particular technical interest. Professional development and social activities supplement project work to create an even more rewarding experience.
Our internships provide students with:
Opportunities to work on challenging projects at competitive pay
Academic credits for some co-op and other internships
Research mentoring from top scientists and engineers
Training and practical work experience using state-of-the-art equipment and instruments
In some cases, internships can also lead to an offer of full-time employment.
