As Systems Engineers

We push the boundaries of knowledge in our three core areas—human technology interaction, information and intelligent automation, and operations research and analytics—to improve performance across the range of human activity. Newly developed approaches have produced advances in domains as varied as aviation safety, juvenile diabetes, manufacturing, precision medicine and surgery. Through all our work, we seek to benefit society by fostering safety, efficiency and sound decision-making.
