About Boeing Technology Innovation Graduate Researcher Program Computational Materials Science Intern

At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. We focus on creating an inclusive environment with opportunities for professional growth. This internship is part of Boeing’s exclusive Graduate Researcher Program (GRP) designed for PhD students specializing in computational materials science or related fields.

Internship Experience

During the 10-12 week internship, you will:

  • Work directly with a mentor to solve real world problems.
  • Tour state-of-the-art manufacturing and research facilities.
  • Engage with company leaders to discuss strategy and Boeing's future.
  • Build a lasting professional network through social events.
  • Acquire skills to become a future leader in aerospace.

Graduate Researcher Program Details

The GRP is a hybrid experience combining real-world industry work with development programming. You will be placed with a host team and gain experience that may lead to a full-time position upon completion of your studies.

GRP programming includes mentorship, weekly featured speaker talks, an in-person summit, an innovation challenge, and networking opportunities with Boeing leadership.

Role Requirements

We seek a PhD candidate in computational materials science, computational chemistry, computational physics, applied math or similar fields with:

  • Completion of the first year of PhD studies by July 2026.
  • Experience with chemical or materials modeling and simulation software.
  • Knowledge of computational/numerical methods for corrosion modeling and/or fluid dynamics (CFD).
  • Enrollment in an academic program with an expected graduation on or after August 2026.
  • Ability to work full-time for 10-12 weeks during Summer 2026.

Preferred Qualifications

Additional skills that are advantageous include:

  • Software programming skills (Python, C, C++, R, etc.).
  • Experience with multi-physics modeling software (e.g., COMSOL) and corrosion analysis tools (e.g., BEASY).
  • A passion for research and applying mathematics to practical engineering problems.
  • Strong communication skills and a proactive work ethic.

Additional Information

This is a 100% onsite role subject to U.S. export control compliance. Applicants must meet U.S. Person requirements, and Boeing does not sponsor employment visas. The position includes relocation benefits based on eligibility and is scheduled for 1st shift.
