2026 Internship Details
We Need Your Talent
Rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors graduating between 2027 and 2029 — with a passion for technology, AI, and federal service. All majors welcome. If you are curious, collaborative, and ready to solve real problems, we want to hear from you.
Build What Matters
Work as a consulting team through the full lifecycle of a federal contract — from proposal to launch. Design and build an AI-powered solution and present your work directly to MetaPhase executive leadership, just like we do for our clients.
Join Us This Summer
A paid internship from June through August 2026, in-person at MetaPhase headquarters in Reston, Virginia. Four days a week, working side by side with our team on real mission-focused problems using the latest AI tools and emerging technology.
2025 Internship Cohort
Last year's interns worked as a consulting team to respond to a federal-style challenge, design an AI-enabled concept, and deliver a final presentation to MetaPhase leadership. Their project, Protect Trade, focused on reducing counterfeit goods risk through AI-assisted inspection workflows.
The internship experience mirrors how we operate in client environments: structured delivery, practical problem-solving, cross-functional collaboration, and clear executive communication.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this internship for?
Rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors — students graduating between 2027 and 2029 — from any major. We are looking for people with a passion for technology, AI, and public service who are ready to learn fast and work as a team.
What will I do?
You will work through the full lifecycle of a federal IT project — from proposal to launch — using cutting-edge AI tools, agent-assisted development, computer vision, and machine learning. We build our own tools at MetaPhase, and you will get hands-on experience with them. At the end, you present your finished product directly to executive leadership, just like a real contract delivery.
Where is it?
In-person at MetaPhase headquarters, four days per week: 11911 Freedom Dr, Suite 1010, Reston, VA 20190.
When does it run?
Monday, June 1 through Friday, August 7, 2026 — ten weeks.
How is it structured?
This is a paid internship. Interns work as a consulting team through every phase of a federal contract scenario — proposal, design, build, and launch. You collaborate cross-functionally, solve mission-focused problems, and deliver a final presentation to MetaPhase leadership, just like a real project team.
Why MetaPhase?
Because most internships give you a lanyard and a lunch talk. This one gives you AI tools, a real project, and a room full of executives waiting to see what you built. You will leave with actual experience shipping technology for federal missions — and stories way better than "I shadowed someone for eight weeks."
