MAYA Design Group is a leading provider of user-interface and

human interface design, or human factors engineering.

Opportunities are available at both the entry and senior levels. We

and significant client interaction.

We are looking for talented individuals with the following
credentials:

Required for senior positions 

    *   At least five years of commercial experience in interaction design, 
        human factors engineering and/or human interface design, with a 
        history of successful product/project leadership experience. 
    *   Relevant graduate-level academic work. 

Required for all positions 

    *   Skilled at developing and executing project plans -- leading highly 
        skilled and technical teams for a diverse array of projects. 
    *   Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to negotiate and 
        collaborate in an intensely interdisciplinary environment. Superior 
        written and oral communication skills and demonstrated analytic and 
        synthetic thinking skills. 
    *   Broad familiarity with computer technology and industry as well as 
        intimate knowledge of modern operating environments, including Windows, 
        OS/2 or X-Windows, Macintosh, and user-interface practices and 
        conventions. 
    *   Practical programming or prototyping skills, including experience with 
        a high-level prototyping environment such as Visual Basic or HyperTalk. 
    *   Degree from a university-level cognitive psychology or industrial 
        engineering program or other relevant academic background. 

Desirable skills for all positions 

    *   Broad range of technical skills, including software design, applied 
        research methods, data visualization, document-centered software and 
        client-server development. 
    *   Consumer products or consumer electronics experience. 
    *   Experience with C, C++, Pascal, or other programming languages. 

MAYA Design maintains core competencies in the disciplines of
engineering, human sciences, and visual design. By working closely
with our clients, engineering and marketing staffs, we help to develop
