Engineering & Technology Innovation Graduate Researcher Program, Software Engineering Artificial Intelligence

At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. We’re committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us.

The GRP (Graduate Researcher Program) is a unique 10-12 week internship program designed specifically for students pursuing their PhD. GRP is a hybrid experience of real-world industry work experience combined with development programming that exposes students to Boeing, its products, services and its people. GRP focuses on deeply connecting students to their team and Boeing through work experience across multiple summers with the goal of ultimately offering a full-time position at the conclusion of academic studies if a mutual fit is achieved.

GRP host teams post intern requisitions aligned with Boeing’s strategic needs, aiming to match their needs with top PhD talent. Once candidates apply and are selected, they receive an offer to spend the following summer working with their host team. The program is designed to give interns meaningful, hands‑on experience at Boeing, allowing them to apply their academic expertise while contributing to real-world industry challenges and opportunities.

In addition to industry work exposure, students attend GRP programming to further broaden their experience and knowledge of Boeing. GRP programming components include: mentorship in your field of study, weekly Featured Speaker Talks, a week‑long in‑person GRP Summit, participation in an Innovation Challenge, and other opportunities to interact and build a professional network with other GRP students, Boeing team members, and Boeing leadership.

Please note:

The work you do at Boeing can be related to your area of study, but cannot contribute or be used in your PhD thesis.

We are seeking students who will have completed their first year of study in their PhD program by July 2027 and are passionate about the aerospace industry and Boeing. GRP students excel at quickly adapting to their roles, analyzing complex problems, and developing innovative solutions. They thrive in collaborative team environments and possess excellent communication skills. Above all, they are driven to contribute to the success of their team, fellow GRP students, and Boeing.

The Boeing AI organization provides innovative AI technologies that enable the development of future aerospace solutions while improving the cycle time, cost, quality and performance of existing Boeing products and services.

Employees work in a dynamic and distributed environment where the initiative and contribution of each team member is critical to success. The ideal candidate will be able to work independently and as part of a distributed (and international) team. Many projects are multi‑year and end with the successful transition and integration of new capabilities to Boeing end‑product deployment. Project work can be funded by Independent Research and Development, Contracted Research and Development, or support to an internal Business Unit.

A successful candidate will be a highly motivated Artificial Intelligence Software Engineer with software development, AI application, and machine learning knowledge.

This position is expected to be 100% onsite. The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at one of the listed location options.
