Collaborate across interdisciplinary teams, publish research, pursue partnerships, and contribute to proposals. The role requires hands-on robotics hardware experience, including diagnostics, maintenance, customization, 3D modeling, 3D printing, and hardware integration, with preferred expertise in AI/ML and HPC deployment.

Conduct fundamental and applied research in embodied AI, agentic AI, robotics, robotic foundation models, world models, simulations, perception, control, manipulation, and interaction. Develop and evaluate AI/ML models, collaborate across interdisciplinary teams, publish findings, communicate research outcomes, and support proposals and partnerships. The position is fully onsite at Brookhaven National Laboratory and requires a recently awarded Ph.D. in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field.

Develop machine-learning algorithms for synchrotron data acquisition and online processing, organize data and metadata standards, and conduct original AI research for NSLS-II science programs. Collaborate with scientists, engineers, users, and sponsors to deploy and disseminate AI tools for light-source applications. Work includes data distribution, analysis-tool integration, and interdisciplinary open-source scientific development.

Leads Lean Six Sigma and DMAIC process improvement initiatives across laboratory business units. Facilitates cross-functional teams, maps current and future workflows in Microsoft Visio, identifies efficiency opportunities, manages improvement project lifecycles, tracks metrics, supports change management, and develops standard operating procedures. The role also builds process improvement capabilities, reports results, and advances quality, safety, and customer satisfaction.

Lead a team of electrical engineers and technicians to design, integrate, and operate AC power systems, power-supply cables, cable trays, and rack plants for the EIC. Serve as Control Account Manager tracking schedule, cost, and earned-value metrics; manage fabrication, standards, quality control, documentation, and cross-disciplinary coordination. Ensure compliance with codes, safety, and project processes through design, procurement, installation, and commissioning support.

Support data center infrastructure and scientific computing systems: install and manage computer and storage hardware, assist with asset management and DCIM, participate in off-hours support, and help maintain operational readiness for large-scale HPC and data-processing environments.
