The Program
America’s military strength lies not only in its stockpiles, but in its productions capabilities. Our nation already knows how to build the equipment our defenders rely on — but we need to do so faster to ensure they have the support they need. Producing builders with the skills to accelerate American production is both an art and a science. ATF - Mobilize produces builders.In the 20th century, America pioneered mass production. We built the Arsenal of Democracy, won WWII & the Cold War, and then left the Arsenal to rust. Silicon Valley, a product of the Heartland, turned its back on the American worker.
It’s time to reawaken the giant.
The same spirit of practical innovation that enabled America to dominate the previous century lives on in every American factory, workshop, and garage today. The proliferation of Artificial Intelligence poses risks, but also the opportunity for a technological and industrial renaissance.
Palantir launched 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 our belief that America's greatest builders are still to be discovered.
The American worker, given the right tools and opportunity, remains our competitive advantage. It’s time to prove it.
- How to wield Palantir’s cutting-edge AI and data analysis tools to solve real-world problems.
- The ins-and-outs of building custom tools with Palantir’s Foundry and AIP platforms.
- The ways that AI is poised to transform every industry—and how those who know how to use it effectively will thrive.
ATF - Mobilize moves fast and doesn’t hold hands. This is by design. This course is intended to rapidly mobilize America’s technically inclined, cleared workforce and immediately get them into the fight to support the American worker and warfighter.
The fellowship will run from 28 April 2026 through 19 June 2026. Participants are expected to attend live virtual sessions on two weeknights each week. We will also have optional sessions once a week and office hours throughout the duration of the program. Participants can anticipate dedicating a total of 10 to 15 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 and our partner companies.
The window for submitting American Tech Fellowship applications is now through 10 April 2026. This program provides valuable training to participants and is unpaid.
ATF - Mobilize is ideal for:
Veterans transitioning/recently separated from the U.S. Armed Services with an active security clearance (especially, but not only keyboard warriors)
AND
Technically-inclined civilians with experience working in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB)—with active security clearances. We need you to Mobilize and forge the future of American AI.
- If you served our nation fighting America’s enemies behind a keyboard—we want you.
- If you’re sitting behind a keyboard at a stultifying legacy company and longing for the days when you were doing something that actually mattered—we want you.
- If you’re sick of watching the news and not knowing how you can use your technical abilities and security clearance to support the American worker and warfighter—we want you.
- Formal study in Computer Science, Electrical / Mechanical / Control Systems Engineering, Physics, Applied Math, Data Science, Mechatronics, Robotics, or related field
- 4+ 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
- 2+ years of hands-on work experience
- Proficiency with one or more programming languages, such as Python, Java, C++, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar
