Research Associate Internship/Residency Summer 2021

About Us
At SoarTech, we shape the future of artificial intelligence and solve the toughest challenges for military warfighters. We focus on the development of artificial intelligence (AI) that reasons like humans do, to automate complex tasks, simplify human-machine interactions, or model human behaviors. Our philosophy is three-fold: to be an augmentation to, not a replacement of, the human; to think “top-down, not bottom-up;” and to be transparent so that decisions and processing are communicated to the human and in human-like terms.
