About this position

This research opportunity places a student or recent graduate in the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s Test and Assessment Department, within the Test Diagnostics Branch, to support instrumentation development and testing for the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) testing program.

Working under the guidance of a mentor as an ORISE participant, the selected candidate will contribute to the development and fielding of new and upgraded instrumentation equipment used in CBRNE test events. The work includes measurements related to pressure, temperature, force, displacement, and chemical, biological, and radiological detection. The project is centered on building practical test instrumentation and improving how data are collected, documented, and applied during experimental fielding.

The participant will join a research environment focused on hands-on instrumentation work, with exposure to precise measurement of high-frequency phenomena, hardware and software development for test systems, and the creation of instrumentation plans for test events. The role also involves documenting instrumentation development, fielding methods, and results, providing experience in the full lifecycle of applied test diagnostics.

This appointment is hosted by the U.S. Department of Defense through the Defense Threat Reduction Agency in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and is administered through ORISE.

Funding details

Monthly stipend of $5,500.00–$6,700.00, plus a monthly health insurance provision; additional relocation/dislocation, training, and travel support may be included.

What's required

Applicants must have an earned bachelor's or master's degree in technical science, engineering, or applied mathematics within the past 60 months, or expect to earn the degree by 2027-01-01. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required. Candidates must be at least 21 years old, be a U.S. citizen, and be able to pass an interim SECRET security clearance requirement, hold a SECRET security clearance, and pass random drug screening. Preferred qualifications include experience developing and operating instrumentation systems, operating laboratory test equipment such as signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes, and working effectively in a team environment.
