Palantir American Tech Fellowship 2025

Palantir builds the world’s leading software for data-driven decisions and operations. By bringing the right data to the people who need it, our platforms empower our partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.

In the 20th century, America pioneered mass production. We built the Arsenal of Democracy, won the war, and then left the Arsenal to rust. Silicon Valley, a product of the Heartland, turned its back on the American worker.

American Tech Fellowship

Requirements for American Tech Fellowship Qualification

We want builders—people who are hungry to learn whatever it takes to win in the new AI era and aren’t afraid to wire a sensor, flash firmware, or ship production code to make it happen.

Some signals that you’re that kind of person might be if you’ve taught yourself—or been the local go-to—for at least one of these stacks:

• General-purpose code: Python, C/C++, C# / .NET, Rust, Go, Java, TypeScript/JavaScript
• Data / scientific: SQL, MATLAB, Simulink, R, Julia, Excel + VBA
• Embedded & controls: Arduino/MicroPython, ROS, LabVIEW, Ladder Logic / Structured Text, G-code, PLC or SCADA configuration
• Hardware description: Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog, FPGAs
• You’re comfortable in—or eager to master—the Linux shell, Git, and container tooling like Docker or WSL
• You can read a wiring diagram, a CAD drawing, or a messy CSV file and immediately think, “How do I instrument, automate, or optimize this?”
• You don’t wait for perfect specs—you prototype, test, iterate, and learn on the fly

Show us 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 above
