The Challenge:
We’re looking for skilled scientists or engineers to help drive advancements in microelectronics research for the DoD. As an early- to mid-career materials scientist or engineer, you understand the physical properties of functional materials and possess skills in their synthesis or in designing relevant devices. That knowledge is key when it comes to supporting high-risk, high-reward projects that seek revolutionary change beyond the state-of-the-art.
As part of our team, you'll serve as a strategic technical consultant for advanced government-funded research and development programs in microelectronics, involving the advancement of next-generation materials and devices for high-performance applications. You'll work with world-class scientists and engineers for a DoD client to impact national security investments through the development of cutting-edge technologies. You'll leverage technical expertise to provide strategic assessments of new technologies in support of senior DoD decision makers. You'll maintain responsibility for producing and presenting findings and recommendations to a team of colleagues and clients on the feasibility and potential impact of future research programs, assisting with the management of current programs, and facilitating the transition of program deliverables to DoD stakeholders. This position will require travel up to 15% of the time, depending on client requirements.
