Job Description
Job Title: SETA/Research Engineer
Location: Bethesda, MD
Eligibility: Candidate must possess an active TS/SCI w/ CI Polygraph
clearance
Job Description:
We are seeking a Scientific, Engineering, and Technical Assistance
(SETA) Support Specialist to join our team in support of a government
research organization dedicated to investing in high-risk, high-payoff
research programs to tackle some of the most difficult challenges of
national security.
The successful candidate will support the government program managers in
the execution of the lifecycle of various research programs to include
development of source selection materials, execution assistance,
closeout, and transition. The SETA should be competent in Research and
Development (R&D) programmatic reviews and procedures. The candidate
will also be responsible for ensuring that project management best
practices are followed by the individual programs to include performers,
independent verification and validation (IV&V) entities, and within the
government research organization itself.
The research programs you would support focus on developing advanced
sensor and transmission technologies, innovative collection techniques
that more precisely target desired information, and methods for
collecting information from previously inaccessible sources. Additional
efforts explore new approaches for integrating information from multiple
sources to improve the quality, reliability, and operational utility of
collected data.
Responsibilities
- Support the program managers in coordination, monitoring,
communication, and integration of all technical aspects of the
Program lifecycle that includes:
- Coordinate across government, academic, and industry research
teams.
- Review and assess technical deliverables, milestones, and
evaluation results.
- Track risks, dependencies, and integration issues across
performers.
- Prepare reports, technical summaries, and briefings for senior
leadership.
- Serve as a liaison between performers, Test & Evaluation
contributors, government and transition partners;
- Provide support for program related requirements for systems
integration, design, development, modeling and simulation, data
analytics and architecture design;
- Stay current on advances in technologies relevant to the research
programs and perform technical studies as requested on topics of
interest to the program managers.
- Provide technical support and expertise on new concepts relevant to
the program managers.
- Support the evaluation of Seedling concepts
Qualifications
Required:
- Bachelors' degree in applied physics, electrical engineering,
systems engineering, computer science, or a related technical field,
with six plus (6+) years of work experience in one of these fields,
or Masters' degree with two plus (2+) years of work experience.
- Four (4) years of experience or equivalent education involving
telecommunications systems, radio frequency (RF) sensing, signal
processing, biometric sensing modalities, and/or advanced sensor
system design and evaluation.
- Two (2) years of experience or equivalent education using test and
measurement equipment relevant to advanced sensing technologies,
such as spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, RF test platforms,
wireless communications testbeds, biometric sensor test systems, or
commercial off‑the‑shelf sensing devices.
- One (1) year of experience managing a multi-disciplinary research
and development R&D or Test and Evaluation (T&E) teams.
- Two (2) years of experience creating program plans, work break down
structures, and milestone schedules for R&D efforts.
Desired:
- Masters' degree or PhD in applied physics, electrical engineering,
systems engineering, computer science, or related fields, with four
plus (4+) years of work experience.
- Four (4) years of experience with programming languages or tools
commonly used in sensing, data analysis, or experimental automation,
such as LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB, C/C++, or embedded systems
software.
- Two (2) years of experience with machine learning, pattern
recognition, biometrics analytics, RF signal classification, or
other AI/ML methods relevant to sensing applications.
- Two (2) years of experience in the Intelligence Community (IC),
including experience with requirements, CONOPS, and transition.
- Awareness of supply chain, security, and integration considerations
for commercial off‑the‑shelf sensing technologies,
telecommunications hardware, and RF components.
- Four (4) years of experience managing a multi-disciplinary research
and development (R&D) or Test and Evaluation (T&E) team.
- One (1) year of experience as a Project Manager or Deputy Project
Manager.
