Description
Our Cognitive Systems Engineering Team is changing the world of decision-making in human–machine interaction. We work on the forefront of decision technology, and we make a difference. We are recruiting revolutionary problem solvers to join our elite team.
We have intern opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students for 2026. Our intern program embraces the student as a fully contributing member of a project team with the developmental support of a mentor. Many regular full-time employees at RCS started as an intern.
At RCS, our Cognitive Systems Engineering (CSE) Team builds revolutionary information systems that directly support decision-making in high stakes environments. Our projects are executed by creating both the concept and detailed designs for these systems. Our CSE team first analyzes the work domain through cognitive work analysis to reveal functional insights, which then serves as the cornerstone for the project. By focusing on the design of human-machine systems, our CSEs ensure that the systems work effectively for decision makers. As part of the workflow process our CSEs work close with our talented group of software developers, providing specifications of information, visualization, and functionality requirements as guidance for their system development efforts.
Who You Are
You are smart, creative and have an interest in human behavior and engineering systems. You enjoy working in a team environment and find satisfaction in solving very difficult problems. You want to continue to learn and grow. You are motivated by work where you can make a difference in the world.
Our Cognitive Systems Engineers come from diverse educational backgrounds that often include Engineering and/or Behavioral Sciences (Psychology). Many CSEs have pursued their own education and career interests outside of traditional paths. Throughout their education they often sought out additional course work or assignments outside the standard curriculum, often crossing into other areas of study.
They seek and enjoy the challenge of solving difficult, whole system problems encompassing multiple disciplines. People who are motivated by meaningful work and are energized by the challenge to solve highly complex problems in a team environment are likely a good fit on our team.
What You Will Do as an Intern
Associate Cognitive Systems Engineer (CSE) Interns are fully contributing members of our teams. From the very first day you will be integrated into a team working alongside and supported by seasoned level CSE experts. Our interns are fully immersed in our client project work using a team-based, collaborative approach following proven, time-tested methodologies. We leverage the diverse background of our team members to develop robust, creative solutions to complex client challenges.
