About the position
We're looking for a skilled materials chemist to help drive advancements in microelectronics research and development for the Department of Defense. Our clients are pursuing revolutionary innovations in additive manufactured microelectronics, specifically developing materials and processes for high-performance devices to advance printed electronics technology well beyond the state-of-the-art. The ideal candidate will not only have technical experience in one or more of these areas but will also have experience in managing the execution of technical projects and programs. As part of our team, you'll serve as a strategic technical consultant to program managers at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), helping to oversee the creation and execution of advanced government-funded research and development programs in microsystems design for flexible battery applications. You'll work with world-class scientists and engineers to identify program goals and metrics that will enable mission success. You will maintain responsibility for producing and presenting findings and recommendations to a team of colleagues and clients on the feasibility and potential impact of future research programs, assisting with the management of current programs, and facilitating the transition of program deliverables to DoD stakeholders. This position will require travel within the U.S., when necessary to accommodate client needs, and is based in Arlington, VA.
