Group 02-24 | Co-Op | Biomedical Image Processing and Machine Learning | January - June 2026

The Human Health & Performance Systems Group develops human-centered technologies to overcome operational challenges and to enhance human capability in domains of interest to national security. Our research programs focus on innovative and objective solutions in the areas of integrated wearable systems, human-machine teaming, enhanced communications, neurocognitive analytics, and medical technologies. Our group is highly interdisciplinary and includes scientific experts in physiology, cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology, biomechanics, computer science, engineering, and physics. Our core technical competencies include system-level modeling and gap analysis, advanced sensing and signal processing, machine learning and artificial intelligence, computational modeling, hardware and software prototyping, model-based systems engineering, and human data collection in laboratory and field environments.

Position Description

Our team is looking for a Co-Op student with an interest in solving challenging AI/ML and image processing problems for biomedical technologies. Through this opportunity, you will work with a multi-disciplinary team consisting of engineers, scientists, and clinicians to prepare and process large biomedical datasets (e.g., ultrasound, microscopy, x-ray), develop and evaluate machine learning algorithms, and implement data visualization tools for advanced medical imaging technologies. We are looking for students who are self-motivated and interested in image processing, machine learning, deep learning, statistical pattern recognition, and high-performance cloud computing.

Requirements/Skills:

• The candidate is a student in a B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. program in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or other relevant degree.
• Experience with Python, MATLAB and machine learning (coursework or practical)
  
  
  

Preferred (not required):

• Biomedical signal/image processing experience
• Interest in embedded AI/TinyML
  
  
  

Compensation

Compensation for 2025 (will be reviewed for 2026)

• Technical Co-Op: $24.50 – $31.00 per hour (based on year in school)
• Administrative Co-Op: $21.50 – $25.00 per hour (based on year in school)
  
  
  

Selected candidate will be subject to a pre-employment background investigation and must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret level DoD security clearance.
