Defense Tech Enthusiasts,
Let’s finish the pre-holiday season strong!
But first, a quick plug for a new program from Palantir that I love: a student Winter Defense Tech Fellowship. From the team:
The program is an insight program for students looking to accelerate their personal and technical growth in preparation for a successful, impactful career in tech & defense. This a self-guided, remote program during which you will have the unique opportunity to build groundbreaking defense projects using Palantir's AI Platform – AIP, during your school's winter break.
The Fellowship kicks off December 10th 2024 and concludes January 10th 2025. Following the conclusion of the program and presentations, the top students will be selected & invited to one of our offices for a special presentation of the winning projects. All participants will receive a certificate of participation and a special Palantir swag item.
Love this energy - and hoping more great companies will follow suit!
Now, onto the jobs!
