About Galois:
Galois tackles the hardest problems in computer science. Our mission is to assure trust in critical systems that protect the privacy and integrity of information in the real world. Core to this is the application of formal analysis techniques that allow systems to be modeled, analyzed, and mathematically proven correct to ensure that a system behaves exactly as we intend under all circumstances.
We are a community of researchers, engineers, and operations people who are dedicated to creating trustworthiness in critical systems in every functional area of the organization. Our organization is highly collaborative, and we pursue working from first principles, transparency, building deep trust, learning and innovating, and creating space for you to be authentically you. Our unique organizational structure enables us to adapt to the needs of the innovative projects we deliver.
We are employee-owned and aspire to provide employees with a sense of freedom to pursue passions in and out of work whether it be opportunities to learn, career growth, a sense of community, or whatever else brings you value as a person.
Research Engineers at Galois design and develop advanced technologies for safety- and security-critical systems, networks, and applications. Engineers work in small team settings and must successfully interact with clients, partners, and other employees in a highly cooperative, collaborative, and intellectually challenging environment.

About This Role:
Galois is currently seeking software engineering and research students for our summer internship program. We are committed to matching interns with exciting and engaging engineering work that fits their particular interests, creating lasting value for interns, Galois, and our community. A Galois internship is a chance to tackle cutting-edge, meaningful problems in a uniquely collaborative environment with world-leading researchers.
Roles may include technology research and development, requirements gathering, software engineering, testing, formal verification, and infrastructure development. Past interns have integrated formal methods tools into larger projects, built comprehensive validation suites, synthesized high-performance cryptographic algorithms, written autopilots for quad-copters, designed the syntax and semantics of scripting languages, and researched type system extensions for academic publication.
We deeply believe in providing comprehensive support and mentorship to all of our employees. We provide our employees with a steward who regularly checks in to ensure that they feel welcome, engaged and safe in the Galois community while gaining real value from their experiences.
Important Information: Internships typically last 12 weeks, though internship periods are flexible. Please specify in your application the dates you are available.
Key Qualifications:
Preferred Qualifications: (the following skills are not required but may be relevant to a particular project)
Location:
For this opportunity, we prefer you relocate for the length of the internship to a Galois, Inc. office location in Arlington, VA, Minneapolis, MN, or Portland, OR. Remote work may be possible.
How to Prepare:
An internship is an opportunity for learning and growth as an engineer. To make the most of the opportunity, we ask that candidates have experience reading, writing, and maintaining code in a realistic project. Many university courses involve multi-week collaborative projects that provide this type of experience.
