Systems Engineer with Security Clearance

The Human Health && Performance Systems Group develops human-centered technologies to overcome operational challenges and to enhance human capability in domains of interest to national security. Our research programs focus on innovative and objective solutions in the areas of integrated wearable systems, human-machine teaming, enhanced communications, neurocognitive analytics, and medical technologies. Our group is highly interdisciplinary and includes scientific experts in physiology, cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology, biomechanics, computer science, engineering, and physics.

Our core technical competencies include system-level modeling and gap analysis, advanced sensing and signal processing, machine learning and artificial intelligence, computational modeling, hardware and software prototyping, model-based systems engineering, and human data collection in laboratory and field environments.

Job Description The Human Health && Performance Systems group is seeking a Technical Staff member to support systems engineering efforts over a broad range of technology areas to address key stakeholder needs and further the Group's core human health && performance mission areas. Example problems include modeling and integrating medical technologies to support advanced field-forward care concepts; and system architecture development for human physiological, cognitive, and psychological performance monitoring systems to support specific mission scenarios.

This often includes the development of models and simulations in coordination with stakeholder communities to incorporate operational constraints, requirements, and concepts of operation. The staff member may also support the design, prototyping, integration, and field testing of prototype health && performance systems. Also participate in and eventually lead system engineering projects related to neurocognitive systems, medical operations systems, and other complex human systems.

Development of these systems could involve complex socio-technical systems modeling, mechanistic neurocognitive modeling, and computational modeling. Staff members work in a team environment to study a broad range of technical questions of importance to human health && performance. Systems engineering activities include developing, flowing down and tracking requirements, architecting systems, interface specification, planning and leading verification and validation activities, and identifying risks and defining risk mitigation strategies.

Model Based System Engineering will be applied to both traditional system engineering processes and in support of system analysis problems. Requirements • Ph. D. in Physics, Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, or Biomedical Engineering, or related scientific field, or equivalent experience in systems engineering. • In lieu of a Ph.

D., a master's degree with 5+ years of directly related experience will be considered. • Demonstrated skills in scientific writing and/or development and presentation of technical materials to varied audiences including the ability to clearly present concepts to a wide spectrum of audiences are required. • The ability to scope and support the necessary systems engineering activities for multiple types of prototype and R&&D programs is required. • The ability to use systems perspective and systems analysis techniques to identify mission-critical human health and performance gaps and areas of needed technology development is required. • Demonstrated experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools is strongly preferred.
