About this position
The DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory is recruiting a scientist/engineer for research in distributed systems state estimation within the Electronics for Sense and Control effort. The project sits at the intersection of navigation and localization, small-scale autonomous systems, and human physiological state monitoring, with the expectation that the researcher will contribute across this interconnected research space.
The work emphasizes the development of novel methods for distributed state estimation, together with linear and nonlinear control integration, and the combination of computer science and hardware engineering to build a generalized framework for information acquisition and fusion in uncertain environments. The selected researcher will help develop theory and validate it in hardware, working in a fast-paced team that values technical breadth, self-reliance, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
The role is based in the Army Research Laboratory’s research environment in Adelphi, Maryland, and is connected to the Photonics, Electronics, & Quantum Sciences area and the broader Army Research Associateship Program. The advert highlights research contribution, publication, and experimentation as central parts of the position, with work spanning software and hardware tools used in modern distributed sensing and autonomy research.
