Description:
ECS is seeking a Technical and Programmatic SETA to work in our Arlington, VA office. Please Note: This position is contingent upon additional funding
ECS seeks a candidate to provide onsite support to DARPA's Strategic Technology Office (STO). The successful candidate will support the DARPA program manager by participating in or leading all activities in project management, technical and programmatic risk analysis, program-funded test coordination, and coordination with members of the Department of Defense for transition. The candidate will also be responsible for coordinating meetings, assessing performer technical progress, projecting performer outcomes, and ensuring that project management best practices are followed by performers, independent verification and validation (IV&V) entities funded by DARPA, and within DARPA itself.
The ideal candidate should possess technical research, development, and engineering experience across a breadth of applied technical projects. Relevant skills include experience developing full stack solutions for trustworthy autonomy focused on multidomain applications of human-machine teaming and will have experience in cybersecurity for autonomous systems. Prior experience with Department of Defense applications, testing, experimentation, and transition is highly desired. Exemplary candidates will also have demonstrated an ability to learn new subjects and gain rapid insights into current and next-generation research topics, preferably with hands-on leadership of research programs at the performer level in multidisciplinary fields.
