Internship - Human-Machine Engineering

Human-Machine Engineering Team Member

Do you like humans?

Do you also like machines?

Do you wish humans and machines worked better together?

If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our Human-Machine Engineering team at APL!

We are seeking proactive problem solvers to help us rapidly design, prototype, and implement the next generation of complex Mission-Critical Systems, build robust systems engineering foundations for them, and transform how humans can interact with them. Our multi-disciplinary team consists of algorithm developers, computer scientists, psychologists, systems engineers, human factors engineers and others who seek to reshape the future through end-to-end human systems and performance engineering.

With us, you will develop solutions to bridge the gaps in human-machine war fighting teams in information-dense, high-stakes environments to revolutionize and operationalize warfighter-augmenting capabilities.

As a member of our team you will:

• Contribute to the design and development of next-generation mission critical systems while advocating for end users.
• Prototype solutions and perform systems engineering critical to enabling these systems.
• Communicate and collaborate within and across teams and departments to learn and work together as we help shape the vision for our country's future.
