Human Systems and Visualization Intern

Draper•Cambridge, MA

3d•Onsite

About The Position

The human systems and visualization group works at the confluence of humans and technology in support of mission critical systems. We support the design, development testing and evaluation approaches that accounts for both the human and technology components, and their integration through analysis, experimentation, and modeling of human performance. Our team supports the development of user facing and human-in-the-loop simulations and visualizations for core Technologies. We provide state of the art data analytics and data visualizations to support decision making. The work includes the development of powerful and intuitive interfaces that bring the best performance out of the human and the machine, including enhanced visualizations to support large scale and high-fidelity applications. The human systems and visualization group is seeking an intern who could develop front end interfaces for our advanced Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) tools, as well as support user facing visualizations for key performance metrics.
