Calling all aspiring UX Designers! Join our Engineering Development Group and get ready for hands-on experience in an engaging and innovative environment.  

We believe in rewarding creativity, teamwork, and having fun while learning. As an intern, you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact by contributing to a UX Design project based on your interests and skill set. Together, we'll push the boundaries of engineering and science. 

During your time at MathWorks, you'll have the opportunity to further develop your knowledge of software engineering and UX Design work. You'll also develop foundational professional skills such as effective communication, problem-solving, and time management.
