Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Design, develop, fabricate, and test advanced material systems (ceramics, metals, metal-ceramic composites). Perform modeling, simulation, process development, characterization, and field tests. Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, present findings to sponsors, and support prototype-to-validation efforts. On-site in State College, PA with periodic travel; requires eligibility for Secret-level classified information.

Design, implement, integrate, and test software for autonomous vehicle guidance and control. Develop algorithms for signal processing, detection, classification, tracking, and decision-making. Collaborate on system integration and testing, produce documentation and presentations. Senior roles add project leadership, architecture, mentoring, and technical/business development responsibilities.

Assemble, fabricate, test, calibrate, troubleshoot, and maintain electronic and electro-mechanical systems. Support test teams, collect and archive data, source components, interact with vendors, and perform field test deployments. May assist with design layout, inspection, and task leadership for higher-level roles.

Provide end-to-end administrative support for graduate programs: manage admissions and applicant systems, coordinate events and orientations, maintain student records and milestones, assist with registration and faculty teaching assignments, track enrollment statistics, support curricular proposals, and help oversee financial commitments and compliance with university policies.

Design and implement electrical circuits, software, and firmware; define system control and data architectures; perform systems engineering across the DoD product lifecycle; interface with stakeholders; develop and operate test setups (including HIL); travel for stakeholder engagements. Senior roles add mentorship, budget tracking, independent work on complex assignments, and external coordination.

Design, simulate, prototype, and evaluate advanced communications and signal processing algorithms and PHY waveforms. Build prototypes with SDRs, run system-level analyses and field tests, document results, and present findings to sponsors. Collaborate across teams and support classified DoD/IC programs; senior roles add technical leadership and mentorship.

Design, build, and test mechanical hardware for undersea applications: create 3D models and detailed drawings (Siemens NX preferred), perform tolerance stacks and basic calculations, develop assembly/test procedures, assemble and test hardware, and support field testing. Collaborate with engineers across the product lifecycle.

Perform applied electromagnetics and RF research and development as a Principal Investigator, conducting lab and field measurements, instrument automation, and validation of RF systems. Support antenna, EMI/EMC, and microwave testing in anechoic and EMC chambers, develop technical documentation, lead engineers, and coordinate with DoD/IC sponsors. Occasional travel required.

Design, set up, and run physics-based undersea simulations; develop and integrate computational models for vehicle dynamics, sound propagation, and signal processing; analyze results and produce recommendations; perform system-level operability and CONOPS studies; integrate operational vehicle software into larger simulations; work on multiple projects and produce technical reports and presentations for DoD sponsors.

Design, prototype, and test high-voltage battery modules and packs for underwater electric propulsion. Model systems (MATLAB/Simulink), develop test protocols, collect and analyze performance and failure data, perform safety assessments (DFMEAs) to meet Navy lithium battery safety standards, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate battery systems. Prepare technical reports, SOPs, and validation plans.
