You understand how and when to use them and how to tailor them for dynamic environments.\nSystems Thinking: You can grasp the big picture of systems and domains, and you possess strong reasoning skills and the ability to balance complex sets of trade spaces.\nTechnical Pragmatism: While holding the big picture in mind, you can predict the realities of how the project will manifest technically and can make recommendations and decisions.\nTechnical Teamwork: You have experience participating on high-technology teams for a variety of projects, including open-source development projects.\nKnowledge of Department of Defense and Intelligence Community: You are familiar with DoD or Intelligence Community software systems acquisition practices.\nDuties:\n\nBuild and demonstrate. You'll design and develop solutions that provide needed capabilities to the government, building on state-of-the-art research in high-performance computing and edge architectures, data analytics, information architectures, machine learning, artificial intelligence, software architectures, and human-machine interaction. You'll support software development infrastructure and assist in building and configuring computing systems and resources. You'll build and demonstrate interactive prototypes.\n\nTest and evaluate. You'll conduct rapid prototyping to demonstrate and evaluate technologies in relevant environments. You'll evaluate systems for performance and security. You'll test software capabilities using novel testing and analysis techniques.\nCollaborate. You'll actively participate on teams of developers, researchers, designers, and technical leads. You'll collaborate with researchers and our government customers to understand challenges, needs, and possible solutions. You'll contribute to improving the overall technical capabilities of the Division by mentoring and teaching others, participating in design (software and otherwise) sessions, and sharing insights and wisdom across the SEI.\nProgramming: You'll have the chance to work with modern software languages such as Python and C/C++, and hardware design languages including Verilog, VHDL, or other HLS languages.\nTechnical Experimentation. You'll experiment with emerging technologies such as computer vision and cognitive radio, evaluate novel software stacks, algorithms, and compilers, and explore the latest in advanced hardware, including FPGAs, CGRAs, TPUs, and neuromorphic processors.\nKnowledge, Skills and Abilities:\n\nCommunication and Collaboration: You have strong written and verbal communication skills and can interact collaboratively and diplomatically with customers and colleagues. You grasp the big picture, direction, and goals of an effort while focusing great attention to detail. You can present complex ideas to people who may not have a deep understanding of the subject area.\nDedication: You can meet deadlines while multi-tasking–sometimes under pressure and with shifting priorities.\nCreativity and Innovation: You are creative and curious, and you are inspired by the prospect of collaborating with premier researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and other universities and organizations. You quickly learn new procedures, techniques, and approaches.\nKnowledge and Learning: You possess broad technical experience and interest in computer science and applied technology such as human-computer interaction, data analytics and machine learning, advanced computing, and autonomy and adaptive systems.\nOther Requirements:\n\nBS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline with eight (8) years of experience in hands-on software development; OR MS in the same fields with five (5) years of experience; OR PhD with two (2) years of experience\nFlexible to travel to other SEI offices in Pittsburgh and Washington, DC, sponsor sites, conferences, and offsite meetings on occasion. Moderate (25%) travel outside of your home location.\nYou will be subject to a background investigation and must be eligible to obtain and maintain a Department of Defense security clearance.\nApplicants for this position must be currently legally authorized to work for CMU in the United States.
