What is Graduate Researcher Program?

The GRP (Graduate Researcher Program) is a unique 10-12 week internship program designed specifically for students pursuing their PhD. GRP is a hybrid experience of real-world industry work experience combined with development programming that exposes students to Boeing, its products, services and its people. GRP focuses on deeply connecting students to their team and Boeing through work experience across multiple summers with the goal of ultimately offering a full-time position at the conclusion of academic studies if a mutual fit is achieved.

How GRP Works :

GRP host teams post intern requisitions aligned with Boeing’s strategic needs, aiming to match their needs with top PhD talent. Once candidates apply and are selected, they receive an offer to spend the following summer working with their host team. The program is designed to give interns meaningful, hands-on experience at Boeing, allowing them to apply their academic expertise while contributing to real-world industry challenges and opportunities.

In addition to industry work exposure, students attend GRP programming to further broaden their experience and knowledge of Boeing. GRP programming components include: mentorship in your field of study, weekly Featured Speaker Talks , a week-long in-person GRP Summit , participation in an Innovation Challenge , and other opportunities to interact and build a professional network with other GRP students, Boeing team members, and Boeing leadership.

Please note: The work you do at Boeing can be related to your area of study, but cannot contribute or be used in your PhD thesis.

Who we are looking for :

We are seeking students who will have completed their first year of study in their PhD program by July 2027 and are passionate about the aerospace industry and Boeing. GRP students excel at quickly adapting to their roles, analyzing complex problems, and developing innovative solutions. They thrive in collaborative team environments and possess excellent communication skills. Above all, they are driven to contribute to the success of their team, fellow GRP students, and Boeing.

2027 GRP Position :

The Applied Mathematics group at Boeing is the company’s most concentrated community of mathematicians, driving innovation across the enterprise through advanced research, algorithm development, and technical consulting.

As part of Engineering & Technology Innovation (E&TI), the team applies cutting‑edge mathematical methods—including geometry optimization, computational modeling, machine learning, and statistical analysis—to solve complex aerospace challenges and shape future capabilities. The Applied Mathematics team collaborates across multidisciplinary engineering domains, translates theoretical concepts into robust algorithmic implementations, and influences the adoption of mathematical tools that enable safer, more efficient, and more advanced aerospace systems.

The successful candidate will gain hands‑on experience developing novel mathematical solutions, contributing to research proposals, and transitioning technical insights into impactful models, software, and decision‑making tools used across Boeing.

This position is expected to be 100% onsite. The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at one of the listed location options.

This position must meet U.S. export control compliance requirements. To meet U.S. export control compliance requirements, a “U.S. Person” as defined by 22 C.F.R. §120.62 is required. “U.S. Person” includes U.S. Citizen, U.S. National, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee.
