MOLECULAR BIOLOGIST
Will work within an interdisciplinary team for the development of advanced biosensor devices for
the rapid detection and identification of pathogens. This position will require the engineering of
living cells, molecules, and surfaces for innovative functions. Will perform molecular biological
protocols, including plasmid preparation, competent cell production, and maintenance of
mammalian cell lines. May also participate in creating novel mergers of biological and electronic
components for new systems, with applications ranging from high-energy-density renewable
“living batteries” to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments.
Qualifications: PhD in Molecular Biology or Biochemistry. In-depth knowledge of standard
biological techniques, such as plasmid preparation, subcloning, bacterial transformation,
and blotting. Should be practiced at electrophoresis and chromatography assays. Must have
experience with tissue culture and be able to transfect cell lines using various protocols.
Experience with flow-cytometry analysis on transfected cells is also desired. Familiarity with
synthesis and analysis procedures in protein chemistry is a plus, as is experience in virology.

SYSTEM INTEGRATION AND TEST ENGINEER
This position involves the integration, debug, and test of complex digital satellite communication
and data link systems. Responsibilities include the integration, debug, and test of hardware and
DSP circuits, boards, and systems. At various times, work may include digital design using
digital signal processors and field programmable gate arrays, laboratory measurements, and
automated testing using software programs or scripts. This work is highly team-oriented.
Qualifications: MS in Electrical Engineering with relevant project or internship experience or BS
in Electrical Engineering with at least two years of professional experience. Good organizational
skills and the ability to thoroughly document work are important. Skills in RF measurement,
RF testing, digital design, digital testing, and system test and integration are also needed. Basic
knowledge of digital communication systems and signal processing is also necessary. (61-01-07)
