Job Description

The Advanced Concepts Laboratory (ACL) is seeking motivated graduate students who are interested in learning about electromagnetics while working alongside teams of research engineers tackling challenging and exciting problems. ACL at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) seeks qualified individuals for an Electromagnetics Graduate Internship. This position involves applying electromagnetic theory to solve challenging problems utilizing the EM spectrum. This candidate will apply theory, modeling, and/or measurement skills to various applications, often focused on EM applications for national defense. The candidate will work on an interdisciplinary team with computational electromagnetics modeling engineers, RF system engineers, mechanical engineers, and EM measurement specialists.

This position will be in the Electromagnetics Division, which develops wideband and adaptive RF systems that integrate apertures, electronics, and materials, augmented by a novel infrastructure for full electromagnetic characterization. This division is part of the Advanced Concepts Laboratory, which develops tailored solutions for a broad range of national security challenges through disciplined application of physics- and effects-based modeling to realizable systems, augmented with prototype development and testing. ACL's research thrusts extend across domains, and include bio-, chemical-, RF-, and optical-sensor physics; materials science and engineering; electromagnetic theory, computation, structures, and measurements; electronic warfare techniques and applications; operational scenario modeling and simulation; traditional and asymmetric threat analysis; and ground maneuver warfare.
