Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Provide post-award sponsored project financial compliance and analysis, lead audit and closeout efforts, monitor financial indicators and labor costs, automate reporting, produce reconciliations and ad hoc analyses, deliver training, and partner with campus and central stakeholders to mitigate risk and improve processes.

Lead a 15-person Computational Fluid Dynamics division delivering CFD analyses, code development, V&V, and HPC-optimized simulations for DoD and industry sponsors. Provide technical oversight of complex multiphysics simulations, build research portfolio and partnerships, manage personnel recruitment and development, and secure/lead funded programs. Ensure quality research outputs and coordinate across ARL offices. Role requires Top Secret eligibility, U.S. citizenship, on-site presence in State College, PA, and periodic travel.

Support ARL IT by documenting and streamlining processes, updating SOPs and training materials, assisting ticket queues, and collaborating with technical teams to maintain secure, compliant computing environments.

Conduct applied research in signal processing, sensor fusion, and estimation for multi-asset sensing and UxV autonomy. Develop data pipelines, evaluate algorithms (e.g., Kalman filters), collaborate with computer vision and geospatial teams, derive physics-based models, and support test & evaluation from proof-of-concept to integrated systems. Work closely with sponsors, document results, and engage in cross-disciplinary applied research in defense-relevant environments.

Design, implement, integrate, and test embedded software for autonomous undersea vehicles, including sensor monitoring, actuator/motor control, signal processing, sensor fusion, perception, HIL testing, documentation, and occasional travel to remote test sites while collaborating within a multidisciplinary team.

Support R&D in electronic materials and device processing: prepare and polish samples, operate furnaces/reactors, perform materials characterization (microscopy, spectroscopy, XRD), fabricate devices in a cleanroom, run electrical/device testing, maintain equipment, follow lab safety and documentation practices, and contribute to technical approaches for semiconductors, sensors, ceramics, and additive manufacturing.

Design and run exploratory analyses, build Python-based data pipelines, apply statistical modeling, graph algorithms and ML to multi-INT datasets, and develop interactive dashboards (Power BI/Tableau/Grafana). Mentor junior staff, brief senior leadership, and produce technical reports and documentation in a DoD/IC environment.

Lead fundraising and alumni engagement for the College of Agricultural Sciences. Oversee development, alumni relations, stewardship, and administrative teams; cultivate major gift prospects; set goals, plans, and budgets; recruit and manage volunteer engagement; travel extensively to solicit gifts; serve as college ambassador and mentor staff to achieve fundraising metrics.

Provide administrative support for the Undersea Systems Office including coordinating complex domestic and international travel, scheduling and running meetings, managing calendars/files, overseeing visitor security compliance, delivering stakeholder customer service, and assisting hiring/onboarding. Higher-level duties include preparing and proofreading classified materials in compliance with DCSA requirements and ensuring proper security markings.

Lead geospatial data science research to develop algorithms and processes that transform GEOINT and open-source data into spatiotemporal models. Collaborate with analysts to automate workflows, design experiments, build modeling and ML tools, and support projects from proof-of-concept to production. Provide technical guidance, manage small teams, and report results to sponsors. Requires programming skills and an active Top Secret/SCI clearance.
