About the Research

ARL is developing new multifunctional materials and structures to enhance the mobility, lethality, and survivability of the dismounted Solider. These materials will be designed to enhance biomechanics and reduce mechanical injury. Research themes include passive energy dissipating materials, actuator materials, and novel composite structures.  ARL is seeking a motivated engineer with strong mechanical aptitude, mechanical design and fabrication experience. If selected, the individual will perform design, fabrication, and testing of the materials and mechanisms. Candidates should have a strong background in mechanical design, fabrication, machining, CAD, and preferably LabVIEW or MATLAB programming.
