See What You Think
Home to the Viz Center of Excellence, the General Dynamics office in Pittsburgh, PA specializes in helping our customers better visualize their data in a way that complements how the human brain processes information. Founded by Carnegie Mellon researchers, designers and technologists, our team uses a human-centered design approach to develop software for visual analytics, decision support, collaboration, augmented and virtual reality.
What We Do in Pittsburgh
We are a passionate, close-knit group of inter-disciplinary thinkers and doers. We make software that interactively visualizes data. We make software that enables massive collaboration. We make software that is making a difference all over the world, and we do it from our cozy-casual office here in Pittsburgh.
Seeding Innovation
We don't just talk about innovation. We innovate. We use a process that takes ideas - maybe even your ideas - from Post-it notes on a whiteboard to fully developed software solutions used by thousands of soldiers in the field.
Work Across All Domains
From deep space to cyber space, our specialized teams work hand in hand with operational subject matter experts to create the best solutions to the toughest national security challenges.
Human-Centered Design
Our approach to creating solutions focuses on the actual needs of the end user from the very beginning of the design process. We are not satisfied until we create software that is functional, efficient and easy-to-use.
Spotlight: Software Engineering
The problems we solve are deeply technical, challenging, and fun. Our culture encourages cross-discipline interaction where everyone gets involved from requirements and design all the way through development, testing and maintenance.
The status quo doesn’t cut it. We are continually updating our tech stack to stay at the cutting edge of technology. This keeps our applications snappy and scalable, keeps development exciting and allows our software engineers to make use of the latest software development best practices.
