Job Description

Sophinea is an AI, data, and analytics firm in Manassas, Virginia, serving federal and commercial clients since 2018. We build AI products, including Halo, our secure AI and analytics platform.

As a UI/UX Design Intern, you'll help design how people interact with AI and data products, from dashboards to mobile and web apps. You'll work on real products alongside our engineers, not side projects.

What you'll do:

Design wireframes, user flows, and high-fidelity mockups for web and mobile products
Build interactive prototypes to test ideas before engineering starts
Run lightweight user research: interviews, usability tests, and synthesis
Contribute components and patterns to our design system
Design dashboards and data visualizations that make complex information easy to read
Hand off designs to developers and review what ships

A typical day might include a team standup, a few hours in Figma on a new feature, a usability session with a test user, and a design review with the engineering team.

This is a paid, part-time, semester-long internship (about 10-15 hours per week), hybrid in Manassas, VA.

Requirements

Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program in UX, interaction design, graphic design, HCI, or a related field
A portfolio that shows your design process, not just final screens
Working knowledge of Figma or a similar tool
Understanding of usability principles and accessibility basics (WCAG)
Clear communication and comfort receiving feedback
Able to work on-site in Manassas on hybrid days

Nice to have:

Experience designing dashboards or data-heavy interfaces
Familiarity with Apple Human Interface Guidelines or Material Design
Basic HTML/CSS
Interest in AI products and how people build trust in them

Benefits

Paid internship
Flexible part-time schedule built around your class load
Hybrid work: on-site collaboration in Manassas plus remote days
Portfolio-ready work on products used by real clients
Mentorship from Sophinea's design and engineering team
Exposure to AI, analytics, and federal technology work
