Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Lead R&D for high-precision undersea navigation systems: design algorithms, perform modeling and simulation, analyze multi-sensor data, manage programs, interact with sponsors, publish results, mentor engineers, and support business development.

Conduct research and development for secure system design and hardening. Apply software and system engineering to embedded and cloud systems, perform cybersecurity testing, support sponsors with technical materials, lead projects, mentor junior engineers, and maintain SECRET-level clearance-required operations. Periodic travel to test sites and on-site collaboration expected.

Provide front-line administrative and records support for international programs: receptionist duties, scheduling, data entry and reporting, budget tracking and reconciliation, purchasing card and travel reimbursement processing, coordination of study abroad records and degree audits, marketing support, and general office operations within the Smeal College of Business.

Conduct research and development for secure system design and hardening. Apply software/system engineering, OS and network administration, secure embedded/cloud development, and cybersecurity testing. Lead projects, support sponsor engagements, improve technical controls, and mentor junior engineers. Work is project-dependent with periodic travel and requires active SECRET clearance.

Design and evaluate autonomy, sensor deployment, and spatio-temporal data fusion frameworks across sea, ground, air, and space domains. Develop data architectures and pipelines, integrate machine learning and computer vision algorithms, quantify uncertainty, and collaborate with analysts and UxV operators from research through production.

Design, implement, and maintain secure automated infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines for HPC and cloud-native environments. Configure bare-metal, virtualized, and containerized compute resources, collaborate in Agile teams, troubleshoot issues, review PRs and unit tests, and demonstrate solutions to internal and external stakeholders.

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.
