- Description
- USSOCOM continues to foster a culture that embraces and supports innovation in our research, development, and acquisition programs to meet the demanding needs of the Special Operator. To support USSOCOM's continued emphasis on innovation, SOF AT&L has established a venue called SOFWERX; an unclassified, open collaboration activity designed to bring non-traditional partners from industry, academia, and the government together to work on USSOCOM's most challenging problems. SOFWERX was established under a Partnership Intermediary Agreement (PIA) with the Doolittle Institute. A PIA is an agreement between the government and an intermediary organization such as state and local governmental agencies and nonprofit entities operated by or on behalf of a state or local government to perform partnership intermediary services such as promotion of cooperative or joint activities with small business firms and educational institutions that need technology-related assistance. USSOCOM has vacancies for three - five energetic technical experts from industry to be Exchange Fellows in the SOFWERX innovation environment. Ability to work in a dynamic environment is a must. Desired Industry Exchange Fellowship positions: 1. Electro-Optics Engineer 2. Mechatronics Engineer 3. Biomedical Engineer 4. Software Engineer 5. Industrial Designer 6. Aeronautical Engineer Resume: Interested parties should submit a resume, five pages maximum, to IndustryFellow@socom.mil. Selection Criteria: The Government shall rate all candidates against the following criteria: - Minimum of seven years of engineering experience; - Current active practicing engineer; - Strength of resume; and - American citizen or a permanent resident alien.
