About The Position

The Research SME - Biometric Sensors will attend meetings, workshops, conferences, and testing events as a Subject Matter Expert. This role will assist with the development of presentations, serve as a liaison between performers, test & evaluation contributors, government, and transition partners. The SME will review, analyze, and make recommendations concerning technical reports, data, and performer approaches. Additionally, they will select, establish, curate, and maintain collaborative communication, issue tracking, and configuration environments. The position provides reach-back support for program-related requirements for systems integration, design, development, modeling and simulation, data analytics, and architecture design. The SME will examine data and literary sources for emerging technology related to the program and provide technical support and expertise on new concepts beyond the program but integral to its success.
