Experimentation Engineer
SUMMARY
Provide technical engineering support for research, analysis, and investigations in supporting design, preparation, execution, and analysis of studies and experimentation; designing, assembling, installing, and maintaining experimentation fixtures, equipment, and systems; performing laboratory procedures, field studies, testing, and research activities; and other scientific and administrative tasks in fields such as electrical, mechanical, or biomedical engineering, injury biomechanics, biomechanics, or other related field with minimal supervision.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Utilize principles of and integrate aspects of scientific, engineering, and medical fields to design, develop, and accomplish project goals, particularly data acquisition during experimentation.
Assist with instrumentation, experimental fixtures, equipment, data acquisition, and documentation, particularly engineering and technical aspects, development of testing procedures and equipment, collection of data, assessment and mitigation of risks, and evaluation and maintenance of functionality and safety of unique research assets and facilities.
Perform job functions as an Associate Investigator - Advise Principal Investigators, Group Leadership, and study teams in preparation and execution of Research Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) laboratory and field studies, particularly in instrumentation and data acquisition.
Provide instrumentation, data acquisition, and data analysis services related to the Injury Biomechanics RDT&E program, particularly related to PMHS or human research volunteers.
Provide engineering knowledge in developing and writing standard operating procedures (SOPs) that will ensure scientific and sound engineering principles and safety procedures are implemented and followed per USAARL and MRMC approval process and existing policies.
Under the direction of a study PI, Team Chief, and Group Leadership, develop data instrumentation, test equipment, data acquisition systems, and associated methodology and training to support high quality data collection for various RDT&E projects with experienced and inexperienced personnel.

Work with industry and customers on biomechanical/biomedical products and solutions and maintain customer and collaborator relations.
Maintain regular and punctual attendance.
Perform all other duties as assigned.
Job Requirements:
Bachelor's Degree in engineering from an ABET accredited program related field such as electrical, biomedical, mechanical, biomechanics, physics, etc.
Two (2) years of experience in programming, data acquisition, instrumentation, kinematic and video motion capture, and use of MATLAB. Ability to code or modify code in MATLAB is strongly desired.
Shall have knowledge of commonly used concepts, practices, standards, and procedures within, mechanical engineering, biomedical instrumentation, signal analysis, data acquisition, and mathematics as demonstrated through a relevant engineering degree and coursework from an ABET accredited program and demonstrates experience and skill with a variety of the field's concepts, practices, and procedures.
Have demonstrated experience with at least 4 of the following research tool groupings: human volunteer protections, numerical analysis, blast, impact, and/or mechanical testing devices, personnel protective equipment (PPE), mathematical analysis software (MATLAB), high speed imaging and analysis tools, instrumentation (load cells, accelerometers, pressure gauges, etc.), data acquisition equipment (high rate, high quality), biomechanical research and testing with demonstrated injury biomechanics research; PMHS (post mortem human specimen) research and data, and/or with ATDs (Anthropomorphic Test Devices).
Must be able to obtain and maintain a SECRET Security Clearance (U.S. Citizenship required).
Must obtain and maintain any necessary security access and/or background checks.
DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS & SKILLS
Must be able to work independently with minimal strategic guidance and with a certain degree of creativity and latitude to address analytic, theoretical, scientific, and operational questions, solve analytic and technical problems, and execution analytic, theoretical, scientific, and administrative solutions.
Must be able to read, understand and execute techniques and procedures within the quality standards and timelines prescribed by the research plan.
Ability to coordinate multiple projects and initiatives at one time.
Good written communication skills and a solid understanding of Government contracting and the professional services industry.
