About this position
This research opportunity is based at the United States Military Academy’s Center for Applied Engineering in West Point, New York, and is part of the Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program. It invites research in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering with a broad scope that spans both fundamental and applied work.
The project areas highlighted in the advert include advanced manufacturing, materials sciences and research, unmanned aerial system development, testing, and research, biomechanics in musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal systems, machine learning, mechatronics and robotic systems, wind tunnel development and testing, weapons system engineering, and vehicles, powerplant, and transmissions. There is also interest in energy infrastructure, showing a wide range of engineering problems that support Army-relevant technologies.
The research environment is anchored in the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at the United States Military Academy, an institution that emphasizes engineering education, leadership, and innovation. The posting also names three research advisors: LTC Wes Ogden, Dr. Joe Hanus, and Dr. Todd Davidson. Their guidance suggests the opportunity is embedded in an active applied research setting connected to the USMA and ARL mission.
Overall, this opening is aimed at candidates who want to contribute engineering research with practical relevance to defense, mobility, sensing, testing, autonomy, and energy systems.
