Temporary, Internship

Posted 22 days ago

Key responsibilities

  • Participate in research related to laser communications systems, including technologies such as coherent modems, integrated photonics, and quantum communication components.

  • Assist in the development and testing of laser communication hardware and software, including FPGA development for pointing, acquisition, and tracking.

  • Contribute to projects involving quantum entanglement, single-photon detector arrays, and photon-starved undersea communication terminals.

Job description

The Optical & Quantum Communications Group develops advanced laser communications technology for use in a wide range of challenging environments including terrestrial, space and underwater applications. Primary areas of research include the development of sensitive, single-photon detector arrays, coherent modems, integrated photonic circuits, and novel modulation and coding approaches. Using these technologies, the group conducts research and development for a wide range of space, airborne, and terrestrial system applications, including terabit-per-second direct-to-Earth small-s satellite constellations, near-Earth wideband relay laser communication terminal hardware, and next-generation beam-director prototypes inherently scalable to deep-space systems. The group has also initiated new research efforts into extending the range and utility of extremely photon-starved undersea communication transceivers and entanglement-based quantum communication networks.
Job Description:
As a student intern in this group, you will participate in research that impacts a wide range of space, airborne, or terrestrial laser communications systems. Examples of potential projects include working on technologies such as coherent modems, integrated photonics, modulation and coding approaches, lasercom terminal development, FPGA development for pointing, acquisition and tracking, software development for lasercom terminals, quantum entanglement, quantum memory, single-photon detector arrays, photon-starved undersea communication terminals, deep space (Mars or Uranus) lasercom missions, and others.
Requirements:
Currently enrolled in a degree program (Preferred majors: Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aero/Astro, Aerospace Engineering, Mathematics). All degree levels (Undergraduate, Master's, and PhD) are welcome to apply.
Candidates will have prior experience and/or course work in any of the following areas: systems engineering, digital and analog circuit development, laser communications, optics, modulation and coding techniques, digital signal processing and/or control systems.
Summer Research Program Overview:
The Summer Research Program offers students the chance to apply their academic knowledge to real-world national security challenges while working alongside leading scientists and engineers. As an SRP intern, you'll engage in hands-on research, receive dedicated mentorship, and take part in professional development opportunities including workshops, tech talks, and networking events-all while building connections within a vibrant community of peers.
  • Internships are typically 10-12 weeks, with flexible start and end dates, typically May through early August.
  • Housing support is available for eligible non-local interns, including access to discounted university housing in Boston and a one-time taxable relocation payment.
  • Complimentary daily shuttle transportation is provided from Boston-based housing to and from the Lab.

Compensation:
Hourly pay rates below are effective January 2026 - December 2026 and will be reviewed again for Summer 2027.
Freshman $25.00 $52,000
Sophomore $27.00 $56,160
Jr. $29.00 $60,320
Sr. (no deg) $32.00 $66,560
