Job Description:
WORK SCHEDULE 40 hours per week. May work variable work hours to meet
performance requirements (e.g., proposal and reporting deadlines,
collaborations, and lab and field data collections), including
occasional night and weekend hours. SUMMARY Provide technical engineering support for research, analysis,
and investigations in supporting design, preparation, execution,
and analysis of studies and experimentation; selecting, installing,
and maintaining instrumentation; performing laboratory procedures,
field studies, testing, and research activities; and other
scientific and administrative tasks in fields such as electrical or
biomedical engineering, injury biomechanics, biomechanics, or other
related field with minimal supervision. ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES * Utilize principles of and integrate aspects of scientific,
engineering, and medical fields to design, develop, and accomplish
project goals, particularly data acquisition during
experimentation. * Provide support with all levels of
instrumentation, equipment, data acquisition, and documentation,
particularly engineering and technical aspects, development of
testing procedures and equipment, collection of data, assessment
and mitigation of risks, and evaluation and maintenance of
functionality and safety of unique research assets and facilities.
* Provide advanced instrumentation, data acquisition, and data
analysis services related to the Injury Biomechanics RDT&E
program, particularly related to PMHS or human research volunteers;
material testing; biomedical instrumentation; ATDs; and data
acquisition systems, software and research equipment, including the
development of research and execution plans, novel designs, and
analyses to address existing or newly defined research needs/gaps
according to policy and procedures of USAARL. All aspects of
RDT&E are included, such as Human Subject Research, Research
Not Involving Human Subjects (RNIHS), animal and cadaveric studies,
and Test and Evaluations. * Supports research work plan and
proposal development and execution by developing, maintaining, and
recommending appropriate instrumentation and equipment (including
specification requirements, design, fabrication, repair, and
operational configurations), testing procedures, and data
collection and analysis techniques to execute project goals. *
Provide scientific analytical, engineering problem solving, design
efforts, and experienced-based solutions related to creating,
measuring, and evaluating biomechanical, kinematic, and physiologic
responses (including determining performance, bio-fidelity, injury
risk, and human tolerance) for Soldier injury prevention through
technical and scientifically sound policies and/or research and
test plans to ensure quality, accuracy, reproducibility, and
relevance of data/results (e.g., by developing and following Best
Practice procedures, recording and documenting efforts and results,
and properly handling and storing data). * Provide engineering
expertise in developing and writing standard operating procedures
(SOPs) that will ensure scientific and sound engineering principles
and safety procedures are implemented and followed per USAARL and
MRMC approval process and existing policies. Such SOPs will be used
during the execution of research protocols and research/test plans
that may include volunteers, cadaveric specimens, animals, and/or
other biological/biomedical and non-biological materials and
devices, such as PPE. Such SOPs may include the operation of data
acquisition, instrumentation, mechanical material characterization
equipment, and impact devices. * Provide engineering expertise in
analyzing and evaluating ongoing research through data and
documentation, which may be self-prepared or prepared by others and
can include in-house materials, internal government
documentation/data, and public-released data/documentation related
to equipment performance, instrumentation and data acquisition
specifications, human response, laboratory, and/or field injury
biomechanics exposures. * Provide engineering expertise in
preparing for classical and injury biomechanics research studies,
including collaborative work with industrial and academic partners,
design work for fabrication of biomechanical test
equipment/devices, troubleshooting instrumentation and other
equipment necessary for research purposes, and selection and
justification of materials/supplies/equipment necessary for
successful injury biomechanics research. * Provide reliable,
timely, and quality engineering services in a team environment to
industrial, military, academic customers in meeting customer,
project, and/or program timelines through the testing and/or
research life cycle (development and execution of test plans and
protocols, analysis of laboratory, field, and theater data,
analysis and documentation of findings related to injuries and/or
PPE). * Under the direction of a study PI, Team Chief, and Group
Leadership, manage and develop data instrumentation, test
equipment, data acquisition systems, and associated methodology and
training to support high quality data collection for various
RDT&E projects with experienced and inexperienced personnel. *
Within a RDT&E team, actively conduct (hands-on) PMHS research,
volunteer research, quality assurance, data analysis, BSL-2 good
laboratory practice, and support publication of project findings. *
Support protocol documentation, interim and final reports,
presentations, papers, and other documentation on research progress
and findings with quality data, analysis, and presentation and
interpretation of such data. * Maintain regular and punctual
attendance. * Other duties as assigned. PHYSICAL DEMANDS Frequent sitting, standing, walking, lying down or to be or
