About the role

Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, MD, is seeking motivated interns to prototype, evaluate, and improve mission-relevant communication systems in a collaborative research environment. You will design and analyze resilient communications, develop simulation tools, and gain hands-on experience with RF, SDR, GNURadio, and Linux-based systems while exploring Docker, IP networking, Wireshark, and Ansible. Eligibility includes U.S.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
