Who can apply?

  • The official listing explicitly says the opportunity is open to college freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
  • Applicants must be pursuing or have received an engineering-related degree and be proficient in at least one programming language.
  • The listing asks for hands-on experience applying AI through coursework, projects, internships, or relevant extracurricular work; US government work can add clearance requirements.
Easy to miss

Do not mistake broad class-year eligibility for a light time commitment; this listing describes a year of on-site work rather than a typical summer internship.

Dates, pay & program timing

No universal cutoff confirmed

This is presented as a year at Palantir rather than a standard summer term. The current listing does not publish one closing date, so confirm start, end, academic-leave, and work-schedule details before applying.
