Reston VA United States Penn State University Full time
Algorithms, Prototyping and Integration (API) Department Head (Faculty)

We are searching for an Algorithms, Prototyping and Integration (API) Department Head to join our Visualization and Decision Support Division (VDS) of the Applied Research Laboratory (ARL) at Penn State. ARL’s purpose is to research and develop innovative solutions to challenging scientific, engineering, and technology problems in support of the Navy, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Intel Community (IC). The API Department is responsible for the rapid research and development of sensemaking & visualization capabilities that leverage access to unique and tactically relevant data sources to support the DoD/IC in optimizing their limited human capital and intelligence gain through automation. The mission of API is to transition these prototype capabilities within operationally relevant multiple security domains in compliance with DoD and IC secure computing requirements.

The API Department Head, who reports to the head of the Visualization and Decision Support (VDS) Division, is expected to develop, lead, and support the execution of interdisciplinary research and development projects, as well as provide technical expertise on related projects given a successful track record of delivering excellent project results.

This position may be filled as either a Research and Development Engineer or a non-tenure Research Faculty.

ARL is an authorized DoD SkillBridge partner and welcomes all transitioning military members to apply. Duties and responsibilities of the position are described below, and qualified candidates are encouraged to apply.

You will:

  • Operate and manage the department, including preparation and execution of department budgets, strategic planning, and staff and resource development and utilization.
  • Develop and execute the strategic vision, goals, and plans of the API Department in concert with the Visualization and Decision Support (VDS) Division.
  • Work closely with the VDS leadership to properly plan, staff and execute programs across the Division.
  • Provide overall leadership, direction, and oversight for programs and research activity across advanced technology areas.
  • Participate in new customer development efforts and business generation.
  • Provide technical expertise and direction in the development, test, and integration of software-based algorithms and prototypes given a successful track record of delivering excellent project results.
  • Recruit, develop, and promote current and future generations of the engineers, faculty, and staff to advance the core competency of the department.
  • Develop, lead, and support the execution of interdisciplinary research and development projects.
  • Travel to other ARL offices and sponsor locations in support of your duties.

Faculty rank will be commensurate with education and experience. Minimally requires a Bachelor's Degree in an engineering or science discipline plus 5 years' related experience. A Masters or Doctorate degree is preferred.

Additional responsibilities of higher level positions include:

  • Provide expert level technical expertise, especially in the area of software systems engineering for both front and back-end applications.
  • Initiate or contribute to business development activities (i.e. white papers, proposals, etc.).
  • Maintain liaison with individuals and units within and outside ARL.
  • Manage projects of varying size and scope, including technical elements, budget/schedule implications, and communication with sponsor(s).

Required skills/experience areas include:

  • Excellent proven organizational, leadership, and technical management skills, as evidenced by previous positions and accomplishments.
  • Experience as a Principal Investigator on both large and small research projects.
  • Experience with sponsoring offices for relevant technology areas and proven ability to obtain external funding for proposed research.
  • A record of technical accomplishments in one or more of the research areas noted above.
  • Personal characteristics of high energy and integrity, capability to work and communicate with others, ability to solve problems, sound judgment, and a commitment to diversity.
  • Strong interpersonal skills as demonstrated by team building and key personnel development.
  • Excellent presentation skills for effective written and oral communication.

Review of candidates will begin immediately and will continue until a qualified applicant is hired.

Your working location will be fully on-site, located in either State College, PA or Reston, VA.

This position may require periodic travel to remote locations in support of project tasks.

You will be subject to a government security investigation, and you must be a U.S. citizen to apply. Employment with the ARL will require successful completion of a pre-employment drug screen.

ARL is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion; we believe this is central to our success as a Department of Defense designated University Affiliated Research Center (UARC). We are at our best when we draw on the talents of all parts of society, and our greatest accomplishments are achieved when diverse perspectives are part of our workforce.
