About this position

The George Washington University, in collaboration with the NIST Professional Research Experience Program (PREP), is seeking a Research Software Engineer to join the Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) Division. This unique opportunity is ideal for recent graduates in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or related fields who are passionate about developing technology that directly impacts public safety and first responders.

The successful candidate will work on the development of real-world test methodologies for Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), focusing on building simulators and data pipelines that support first responder communication protocols. Key responsibilities include building and retrofitting software for drone communication simulator platforms, integrating physical radio hardware with virtual simulation environments, developing open-source code, curating public safety datasets, researching mesh networking, and bridging the gap between simulations and live UAS flight tests.

Applicants should have a strong background in programming (Python, C/C++, or JavaScript), and experience or interest in UAS technologies such as PX4, ArduPilot, AirSim, or MAVLink. Familiarity with modern AI tools (AWS, SQL, MLFlow) and basic machine learning concepts is expected. Additional knowledge of network routing or radio signaling is considered a bonus. The position is based at the NIST Campus in Gaithersburg, MD, and requires eligibility for a Department of Commerce background check.

This role offers a hands-on entry point into federal R&D, providing exposure to cutting-edge autonomous systems and public safety technology. The position is funded through the NIST PREP program, though specific salary or stipend details are not disclosed. Interested candidates should apply via the provided application link and ensure they meet all eligibility requirements.
