Start your search by selecting a career level of entry level, co-op, or intern. To apply for a position at MITRE, the first step is to upload a resume and cover letter to the Job Openings page. Once you submit your resume and cover letter, you'll receive a confirmation email.
MITRE's student positions are open to those who may not have had relevant work experience. Although work experience is an easy way to identify qualified candidates, relevant class work or personal projects can also help to demonstrate the required skill and experience set that would help make you a qualified candidate for a position at MITRE. Overall, MITRE values candidates who have a demonstrated aptitude and passion for technology, engineering, math, and science fields.
Co-ops and interns contribute to a wide variety of projects at MITRE. Students can expect to work on a slice of a larger MITRE project, sized so that they can complete their portion of the project by the end of their assignment. Project work is mixed with everyday work, so that you are always making progress on one assignment or another.

No, that's all we need you to do for the first step.
If you don't see something that is an exact match with what you are looking for, you can apply for general consideration by creating a profile and uploading a resume and cover letter. We can then contact you directly if a new position relevant to your interests opens up.
After you submit your resume for a specific position, the recruiter for that position will review the received resumes and send qualified candidates to the hiring managers. If the hiring managers want to move forward with the recruiting process, we'll contact you to schedule a phone or in person interview.
MITRE receives a high volume of applicants on a daily basis, so it takes a bit of time to review all the candidates. Unfortunately we are not able to personally respond to each application, but if the hiring manager wants to move forward with the next step of the recruiting process, we'll contact you directly. Please give us a couple weeks before checking in about your candidate status.
