Deadline: September 5, 2025
Applications for the Palantir American Tech Fellowship 2025 are now open. Palantir is launching the American Tech Fellowship to arm Americans with the skills to deploy cutting-edge software in the workforce. Fellows will have an opportunity to explore and build on Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) and earn a professional certification in its use. Exceptional performers will earn an opportunity to interview for a role at Palantir or partner companies, where they can use their newfound skills to contribute to the reindustrialization and revival of America.
This fellowship is about more than careers—it’s about restoring the promise that hard work and determination can still change your life in America. It’s an investment in American excellence, evidence of the belief that America’s greatest builders are still to be discovered.
The Role
In this fellowship, you’ll participate in a comprehensive virtual training program with the partner, Ontologize, to level up your technical skills on Foundry and AIP. You’ll learn how to deploy Palantir’s cutting-edge software to solve tough problems in enterprise settings and have the opportunity to engage directly with Palantir engineers and leadership. The program will run for 90 days, starting on September 15, 2025. Participants are expected to attend live virtual sessions on two weeknights each week and can anticipate dedicating a total of 5 to 10 hours per week to instruction and project work throughout the fellowship.
Exceptional performers will have opportunities to interview for full-time employment opportunities at Palantir or partner companies. Top participants will also have the opportunity to take part in an in-person Palantir Hackathon.
Eligibility
- They welcome individuals who have proficiency with one or more programming languages, such as Python, Java, C++, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar.
- Technical background, preferred in fields such as Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, and Data Science (no formal degree required).
Show where you’ve flexed that builder’s mindset. That could look like:
- Formal study in Computer Science, Electrical / Mechanical / Control Systems Engineering, Physics, Applied Math, Data Science, Mechatronics, Robotics, or related field.
- Four or more years solving real problems on a factory floor, in field service, avionics, the military, or a garage shop—especially if you automated, instrumented, or optimized a physical process.
- Startup, maker-space, or hackathon projects that blended hardware and software e.g., retrofitting a CNC, wiring a sensor network, building a ROS robot, deploying an edge AI model.
- Transitioning U.S. service members—officer or enlisted—within six months of separation who have already been wiring, coding, maintaining, or optimizing advanced systems in uniform and want to level-up those skills with AI.
- Publications, patents, or open-source contributions in any of the stacks of interest.
Application
The window for submitting American Tech Fellowship applications is now through September 5, 2025 by 5pm EDT. This program provides valuable training to participants and is unpaid.
