At Charles River Analytics, our interns work on real projects and cutting-edge technology. We believe strongly in promoting within, which is demonstrated by the fact that we not only have hired former interns, but that several of our Senior Scientists and one of our division Vice Presidents began their careers at Charles River as interns!

This summer, we are looking for enthusiastic Software Developer Interns for our Socio-Cognitive Systems division. We are seeking students with an interest in learning about and a successful academic background in the following areas: software engineering, computer science, cognitive engineering, artificial intelligence, or applied mathematics.

You will use a variety of technologies such as computer vision, AR/VR/MR and human factors development. During your time at Chares River, you will work in small project-oriented groups of scientists and software engineers to build working prototypes of intelligent decision-support tools. An example of a prior Socio-Cognitive Systems intern project is the creation of a gun game demo for the HTC VIVE using CRA’s in-house virtual reality framework, which was eventually shown to a manner of people at a conference where potential partners, customers and government representatives were present.

Requirements:

• U.S. citizenship
• Proven proficiency in Java and a solid background in designing, programming, and documenting complex software systems
• Demonstrated ability to rapidly learn new programming languages (Java, Perl, Prolog, Scala, C/C++), technologies, and programming tools
