Introduction:
TheJohns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), a national leader inscientific research and development, located midway between Baltimore andWashington, DC is seeking a Senior Biomechanics Project Manager.
Job Summary:
TheSenior Biomechanics Project Manager will manage Technical Leads across multipleapplied research projects related to development of biofidelic surrogatesystems, experimental characterization of human injury response, andcomputational finite element modeling of high rate blast events, ballistic impactsand crashes. The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience intechnical leadership, conceptualization and development of applied researchprojects, and coordination of diverse technical teams. Additionally, theselected individual will have strong communication skills for use in engagingthe team, senior leadership, and customers.
Duties:
1.Provide technical leadership in impact and injury biomechanics. Build andmanage a roadmap to support research and development goals and strategies.Monitor and review technical progress, and provide recommendations andtrade-space analysis to adjust research plans. Communicate progress in aregular and timely fashion, and solicit feedback from the Program Manger.Develop and manage financial plans for technical performers. (50%)
2.Demonstrate exceptional judgment and problem solving abilities through decisiveactions. Provide coaching and technical guidance across teams ranging fromjunior performers to collaborating expert research groups. Provide ‘hands-on’technical analysis and problem solving as needed or assigned. (30%)
3.Identify new business opportunities for applied research in Biomechanics andInjury Mitigation Systems Program Portfolio. Connect expertise in advancedmaterials, novel sensors, new computational methods, data analysis, and resultsvisualization for the purpose of developing innovative research in the area ofWarfighter Protection. (20%)
Note:This job summary and listing of duties is for the purpose of describing theposition and its essential functions at time of hire and may change over time.
RequiredQualifications:
