“I love the Lab’s flat organizational culture and
its sense of mission. Everyone contributes, and
everyone’s contributions matter.”
“Working at Lincoln Laboratory means exciting
technical challenges every day, incredibly smart
people, and an atmosphere that forces me to
learn and grow as an engineer and scientist.
At the end of the day, I know that I’m not just
building widgets – I am making a real impact on
problems that actually matter.”

HANDS-ON RESEARCH
TECHNOLOGY
Lincoln Laboratory engages in a wide variety of research and development for cyber
security and information sciences. From development and prototyping through transition
into operations, Lincoln Laboratory researchers are tackling challenging problems to
advance state-of-the-art systems and technologies.
Matthew Alt monitors signal
traces to analyze the startup
behavior of an automotive
engine management unit as
part of an effort to rehost the
engine software in a virtual
machine. The rehosted
software allows testing of
cyber resiliency techniques
to protect automobiles from
malicious cyber attacks.
