Icon
Frontier AI
Systems

Work with large language models, AI agents, foundational ML models, NLP, generative AI, computer vision, and multimodal systems — audio, video, voice recognition, video translation, and intelligent automation.

Icon
A Network
That Compounds

Join an international circle of alumni, mentors, and collaborators who go on to build companies, lead engineering teams, and shape research — a standing that opens doors everywhere you go next.

Icon
Real Industry
Exposure

Build applied systems across healthcare, aerospace, real estate, manufacturing, robotics, bioinformatics, and academia — the same domains shaping the next decade of technology.

Icon
Mentorship From
Senior Engineers

Work directly under senior engineers, research scientists, and founders through weekly one-on-ones, deep code reviews, and architectural guidance from the people running the company.

Icon
$200,000+ In
Ecosystem Value

Every fellow receives over $200K in mentorship, infrastructure, tools, and opportunity — an investment in the practitioner you are becoming, not a bootcamp you are paying for.

Icon
Highly Selective
International Cohort

Selected from a global pool of applicants, our fellows are recent graduates, master's students, and career switchers with strong theoretical foundations — and the seriousness to match.

Icon
Real World Projects
Not a Transcript

Leave with documented, production-deployed work under your name — systems the industry can evaluate, and interviews that begin with what you shipped, not what you studied.

Recognition That
Carries Weight

Earn LunarTech certification, letters of recommendation for those who distinguish themselves, and pathways into paid roles, research positions, or startup funding for the most exceptional fellows.

From learner to engineer in six months
You enter studying systems. You leave building them. Six months. Real products. Real users. Real consequences.
This is where your career begins.

Our fellows don’t just study AI,
they build the systems
that define it.

Across 6 months, fellows work on real LunarTech projects, from AI agents and production software to aerospace, healthcare, automation, and advanced product systems. Every project is designed to build judgment, ownership, and a portfolio with real stories behind it.

Where Early-Career Talent
Builds the Work That Opens
the Next Door

LUNARTECH Fellowship brings ambitious early-career talent into real AI systems, real codebases, and real product work. Over six months, fellows build alongside senior engineers, develop the judgment to ship responsibly, and leave with work that speaks for itself.

Principles

The fellowship is built for people who are ready to grow through real work. Fellows do not only study AI from the outside; they contribute to systems with real users, real constraints, and real expectations.

We look for builders with curiosity, discipline, and care. You do not need to arrive as a finished engineer. You do need to be serious about learning, improving, and taking responsibility for the work in front of you.

Every part of the fellowship is designed to build judgment: deep reviews, senior mentorship, production standards, and projects that require clarity, patience, and ownership. The goal is not just to help fellows get experience. It is to help them become the kind of people others trust to build.
