Scientist/Engineer: Distributed Systems State Estimation

About the Research

The Army Research Laboratory’s Electronics for Sense and Control seeks to enable revolutionary advances in three interconnected research spaces: 1) navigation and localization, 2) small scale autonomous systems, and 3) human physiological state monitoring. While an individual will have a specific project, it is expected that s/he will contribute across the full research space. The group’s approach includes the development of novel, distributed state estimation methodologies, linear and nonlinear controls integration, computer science and hardware engineering to realize a generalized framework for information acquisition and fusion in uncertain environments.

Requirements

• Recent graduate with a PhD in control systems, electrical, mechanical engineering, computer science, material science, mathematics, physics or other appropriate discipline
• This person will be expected to lead their own research efforts
• This person will be expected to publish first author efforts in peer reviewed literature
• Contribute technically to peer reviewed literature in diverse areas within and outside of the team
• Develop experimental and transition efforts across the team
• Skills range including developing theories supporting distributed state estimation and validating those theories in hardware
• Expected to work in Linux, ROS, Matlab, C/C++

Qualifications

• Age: Must be 18 years of age
• Degree: Associate's Degree, Bachelor's Degree, Master's Degree, or Doctoral Degree
• Discipline(s): Control systems, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Material Science, Mathematics, Physics or other appropriate discipline

Benefits

• Opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in distributed state estimation and related fields
• Challenging and rewarding work environment fostering innovation and collaboration
• Opportunity to publish in peer-reviewed literature and present findings at conferences
• Access to advanced research facilities and equipment

Pay

Salary is commensurate with experience.
