Group 2-24 | Co-Op | Biomedical & Physiological Signal Processing & Machine Learning | Jun-Dec 2026

About the Role

The Human Health & Performance Systems Group develops human-centered technologies to overcome operational challenges and enhance human capability in domains of interest to national security. Our research programs focus on innovative and objective solutions in integrated wearable systems, human-machine teaming, enhanced communications, neurocognitive analytics, and medical technologies.

Our group is highly interdisciplinary and includes scientific experts in physiology, cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology, biomechanics, computer science, engineering, and physics. Core technical competencies include system-level modeling and gap analysis, advanced sensing and signal processing, machine learning and artificial intelligence, computational modeling, hardware and software prototyping, model-based systems engineering, and human data collection in laboratory and field environments.

Responsibilities

• Work with a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, scientists, and clinicians to prepare and process large biomedical and physiological datasets (e.g., PPG, accelerometry, EOG, EEG, commercial-off-the-shelf wearable data).
• Develop and evaluate machine learning algorithms.
• Implement data visualization tools for advanced prediction and inference of physiological status (e.g., fatigue, illness, stress).

Requirements

• Currently enrolled in a B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. program in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or other relevant degree.
• Experience with Python, MATLAB, and machine learning (coursework or practical).

Preferred Skills

• Biomedical signal processing and/or time series analysis experience.
• Experience with Python and deep learning libraries such as PyTorch, JAX, and/or Keras.
• Interest in AI meta-learning, foundation models/self-supervised learning, continual learning, one-shot, and/or transfer learning.

Pay

• Technical Co-Op (2026): $24.50 – $31.00 per hour (based on year in school).
• Administrative Co-Op: $21.50 – $25.00 per hour (based on year in school).

Selected candidate will be subject to a pre-employment background investigation and must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret level DoD security clearance.
