Tech Engineering/Science SETA - Project Mgmt

Location: Arlington VA Salary: Dependent on experience and labor category Hybrid Options Available Clearance Required: TS/SCI Education Level At least a Master’s degree in an Engineering or Science discipline relevant to this solicitation’s areas of interest. Description Candidate sought to provide support for one or more new programs in the area of “unconventional computing” with the overall aim to achieve orders of magnitude improvement in computation speed while expending orders of magnitude less energy in space-constrained environments. The efforts will focus on analog and hybrid analog-digital approaches to achieve such computing capabilities. The underlying computation modalities are expected to draw from diverse disciplines, covering, but not limited to, computer science, electrical engineering, materials engineering, quantum physics, and biology. Approaches will consider a wide gamut of technologies, constrained mainly by the imaginations of the team and proposers, and include but are not limited to photonic and organic nonlinear materials and devices, coupled oscillatory states, quantum-inspired devices, synthetic biology, as well as suitable interfaces between such technologies and conventional electronic transport methods. The candidate must also possess a strong background in nonlinear problem solving, optimization, generative AI, and other types of large-scale processing algorithms to support the nonconventional computing approaches of interest and their end users. Desired Capabilities and Characteristics Demonstrated project management and technical liaison expertise. Ability to quickly learn unfamiliar areas needed to broadly support the PM’s portfolio of unconventional computing programs. Proficiency in Microsoft Office tools. Proficiency in the use of large language model tools for subject matter analysis and reporting. Excellent communication skills – both written (to include PowerPoint) and oral. Self-starter who is willing to both take the lead and provide support in a team role in a complex, fast-paced, cross-disciplinary work environment. Strong organization skills with the ability to multi-task and respond to quick turn-around requests. Flexible and readily adaptable to change. Responsibilities Lead periodic performer assessments to analyze program, technical and schedule risks; develop risk mitigation strategies; communicate findings to program manager. Take charge in supporting the program manager in program definition and pitch preparations. Support research solicitation and special notices. Play an active role in proposal evaluations, including formation and management of proposal evaluation teams. Provide technical evaluations and guidance on reports, briefings, and other performer communications. Program administration, including development of technical analyses, identification of technology gaps, technical risk management, project cost estimation, technology transfer efforts, as well as supporting technical reviews. Stakeholder engagement in unconventional computing and systems that use this across the IC, DoD, and services. Interagency engagement, including coordination activities with the IC, DoD, DoE, DoC, and potentially international partnerships. Attend and organize program reviews, site visits, and field tests. Veterans, reservists, and cleared professionals are strongly encouraged to apply. Benefits Premium Medical Coverage. Tricare Supplement Plan – 100% employer-paid for employees, 80% for dependents.
