2027 Research and Development/Data Science Internship ATI Specialty Materials

Location: Monroe, NC

Program Duration: 10 Weeks | Summer 2026

Target Students: Rising Juniors, Seniors, or Masters Candidates Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or Data Science

Innovate Where Metal Meets Intelligence

At ATI, we engineer specialty materials that power the next generation of aircraft, spacecraft, surgical implants, and energy systems. As a Research and Development/Data Science Intern, youll gain hands-on experience supporting materials research and development projects. Youll apply your materials science, engineering, or data science background to study advanced alloy systems and support the development and processing of high-performance materials.

What Youll Work On

Depending on your project assignment, you may:

• Conducting microstructural characterization of novel titanium alloys.

• Supporting heat treatment studies of nickel and titanium alloys.

• Participating in hot working trials, including forging and rolling of nickel and titanium alloys.

• Supporting research and development activities involving nickel-base superalloy and titanium alloy systems.

• Applying materials science and engineering concepts to hands-on R&D projects and materials processing activities.

What Youll Gain

• Hands-on experience in materials research and development.

• Practical exposure to nickel-base superalloy and titanium alloy systems.

• Experience with microstructural characterization, heat treatment, forging, and rolling.

• Opportunities to apply classroom knowledge to real-world materials engineering challenges.

• Experience that aligns with potential Engineer or Product/Process Engineer opportunities at ATI after graduation.
