OPEN ROLES INTERNSHIPSHands-on projects and practical challenges, including our Drone Development internship.
EXPLORE INTERNSHIPS →Not every problem needs a client before we start solving it.
Our work puts us close to operational problems that do not always fit neatly inside a client engagement. Ghost Works is where we take the ones worth pursuing and build against them ourselves.
Small teams get 90 days to turn an idea into working software, a tested approach or a documented result. The work is internally funded, and we publish what we learn whether the idea moves forward or stops there.
The rules every project runs under.
Small teams get 90 days to turn an idea into working software, a tested approach or a documented result.
No client and no billable pressure, which is what lets us try ideas that might not work.
Every project ends in working code or a written postmortem. Nothing is left as a slide.
We publish what we learn whether the idea moves forward or stops there. Failures go out alongside the wins.
Two builds. Different problems. Real experiments.
No Soup Sandwich
A military test-prep platform for ASVAB, OAR and AFOQT candidates, built in 90 days.
No Soup Sandwich gives future service members focused study tools, interactive practice and progress tracking for military entrance exams, in a mobile-first experience.
It ships as working software, which is the Ghost Works rule: every project ends in something people can actually use.
ODCS Internship
Real engineering. Unexpected inspiration.
Explore the 11-week drone engineering internship that began with modular airframe design, developed into a physical prototype, and later inspired the Ghost Flight interactive experience.
Over the summer, our intern took a modular, 3D-printable quadcopter from SolidWorks models to printed parts, hardware assembly, and real flight tests, including the setbacks that came with them. Ghost Flight carries those ideas into a pixel-art arcade game anyone can play.
