Summer 2027 Games Systems Engineer Intern

The Summer Games is an internship program for some of the country's strongest students. Its goal is to develop a breakthrough idea or solution for one of a customer's most pressing, complex, and multidimensional problems while building useful technical skills. The program draws thousands of applicants each year. Interns are split into teams that mirror a real-world startup accelerator, with each team working on a different challenge project. Throughout the Games, interns receive mentorship from senior leaders, solve problems using Booz Allen's products and engagement models, and collaborate in teams.

The summer ends with a final Challenge Cup competition and a presentation to senior leadership. One past winner worked on helping blind individuals navigate using new technology, along with a business and market penetration plan. Other teams have built an app that gives military commanders a simple way to track real-time and open-source information on developing situations, including sudden attacks, human trafficking, and the spread of disease worldwide.

Join us. The world can't wait.

Work Model

Booz Allen values collaboration, so employees working virtually are generally expected to keep their cameras on during meetings. Remote roles may still require some in-person work at a Booz Allen or customer facility. Onsite roles are primarily performed full-time at a customer facility.
