The Transportation Safety and Resilience Group develops integrated sensing and decision support systems that enable a safe and resilient global transportation system. We specialize in systems analysis, prototyping, system architectures, and algorithm development to support supply chain resilience, improving safety in the current airspace and the introduction of new and more autonomous vehicles into the existing transportation system. A current focus area of our work is the safe and efficient introduction of Advanced Air Mobility vehicles and other new entrants into the National Airspace System. The systems we work on help prevent aircraft accidents in the existing airspace and are extensible to a more autonomous future airspace. We are also focused on improving the resilience and effectiveness of the Department of War supply chain. With technical expertise in real-time software architecture, systems analysis, advanced supercomputing-enabled modeling and simulation, machine learning, and system integration, our research teams take new ideas for solving problems and develop them into working prototypes. We are currently working on detect-and-avoid systems for both crewed and uncrewed aircraft systems, safety systems to prevent runway incursions, and decision support systems.
MIT Lincoln Laboratory Associate Staff provide critical multi-domain through expert multi-domain innovative research supporting the Laboratory’s national security mission. They prototype state-of-the-art technology solutions and engage in many steps of a program lifecycle with increasing independence and responsibility. As an Associate Staff member, you will contribute independently to multidisciplinary efforts, contribute to sponsor briefings, write test plans and reports, and apply complex and creative solutions to solving technical problems. You may own discrete project/program components or lead complex workstreams and small teams.
As a successful candidate, you will bring solid to strong technical depth, broaden your understanding across adjacent disciplines, and adapt approaches where precedent is limited. You will integrate technical inputs, contribute to program documentation and reporting, and collaborate with interdisciplinary project/program teams supporting projects that may range from rapid, high-risk efforts to longer-term mission programs. Your work will include multiple activities such as hardware and software development, systems analysis, data analysis, component fabrication, system integration, testing, and documentation.
This position involves the architecture, design and development of software for next-generation transportation and logistics decision support systems and/or the analysis of those systems. The candidate will participate in a product development team and support multiple aspects of the project, potentially including user interface design and full stack development, and documenting software. Close collaboration with subject-matter experts and system analysts is expected. May also entail embedded software development.
