Lincoln Laboratory Lincoln Laboratory, a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC), is part of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. For more than 50 years Lincoln Laboratory's mission has been to apply science and advanced technology to critical problems of national security, aviation safety, and homeland defense. The character of the problems has broadened from the initial emphasis on air defense to include space surveillance, tactical surveillance systems, communications, air traffic control and weather surveillance systems. Lincoln Laboratory has pioneered advanced electronics technology. Work in the areas of communications, radar, digital data processing, signal processing and air traffic control extends from basic research through the development of devices and components to the design, construction, and operation of complex systems. Projects are followed from the concept stage, through simulation and analysis, to the development of hardware and software and the ultimate test and demonstration of an integrated system. This focus on development of operational prototypes differentiates Lincoln Laboratory from industry and other similar laboratories.
The main Laboratory buildings are located in the town of Lexington, Massachusetts, 14 miles from the center of Boston. Lincoln Laboratory also operates major radar field sites at Westford, Massachusetts, and on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands of the central Pacific.
In this session, we will cover who we are, what we do, and why you might want to consider a position at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. The session is open to all students.
Pizza and refreshments will be served.
