The Human Health & Performance Systems Group develops human-centered technologies to overcome operational challenges and to enhance human capability in domains of interest to national security. Our research programs focus on innovative and objective solutions in the areas of integrated wearable systems, human-machine teaming, enhanced communications, neurocognitive analytics, and medical technologies. Our group is highly interdisciplinary and includes scientific experts in physiology, cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology, biomechanics, computer science, engineering, and physics. Our core technical competencies include system-level modeling and gap analysis, advanced sensing and signal processing, machine learning and artificial intelligence, computational modeling, hardware and software prototyping, model-based systems engineering, and human data collection in laboratory and field environments.
Our team is looking for a Co-Op student with an interest in solving challenging mechanical design and mechatronics problems for medical devices. Through this opportunity, you will work with a multi-disciplinary team consisting of engineers, scientists, and clinicians to design and develop the hardware and embedded controls of a handheld surgical robot for several life-saving interventions. We are looking for students who are self-motivated and interested in working on 3D printing, electrical circuit design, and mechatronics.
Requirements/Skills:
- The candidate is a student in a B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. program in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or other relevant degree.
- Experience with Solidworks or other 3D CAD software
- Prototyping, 3D printing, novel mechanism design, hand tools, soldering
Preferred (not required):
- Typical mechatronic system component experience (e.g., sensors, software, circuits/schematics, microcontrollers, motors, and linkages)
- Experiment design
Selected candidate will be subject to a pre-employment background investigation and must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret level DoD security clearance.
