About the role
Description
Description
ETI’s summer Research Interns support the Institute’s emerging technology research and event programming through research, communications, and conference planning. As our summer season internship coincides with peak preparation for ETI’s flagship annual conference called the Emerging Technologies for Defense Conference and Exhibition (ETC), held at the DC Convention Center, a substantial portion of the role focuses on conference coordination and execution.
Involvement in the conference brings interns into close contact with senior leaders from across the defense technology landscape, including academia, industry, and government. The 2026 conference featured keynote remarks from Gen. Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Mr. Emil Michael, CTO of the Department of War, among others.
Interns should bring strong organizational, writing, and communication skills, along with the flexibility to support varied assignments across the team.
