ARPA-H STATS Scientist, Engineer

Responsibilities

The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) is a research funding agency that supports transformative biomedical and health breakthroughs to provide health solutions for all.

ARPA-H advances high-potential, high-impact biomedical and health research that cannot be readily accomplished through traditional research or commercial activity. ARPA-H awardees are developing entirely new ways to tackle the hardest challenges in health. With a scope spanning the molecular to the societal, ARPA-H programs have the potential to radically improve everyone's health. Their streamlined awards process enables us to act quickly and catalyze cutting-edge biomedical and health research. ARPA-H creates an environment to support the best ideas from Program Managers that bring together dynamic teams to solve the toughest health challenges. 

As an ARPA-H (Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health) Scientist, Engineer for the Strategic Technical ARPA-H Talent Support (STATS) Program at Noblis, you will be part of our Health Solutions account team, where you will leverage your science and/or engineering in design strategy, Human Centered Design (HCD), design thinking, service design, and product design for Task Order research and development (R&D) programs throughout their lifecycle, directly supporting Federal PM and the ARPA-H leaders to deliver transformative, sustainable, and equitable health solutions for the Nation.

This is an opportunity for someone with significant government contracting experience in R&D and ARPA settings to work with an exceptionally talented and high-performing team on challenging and cutting-edge healthcare projects.  ARPA-H advances high-potential, high-impact biomedical, healthcare, and health research that cannot be readily accomplished through traditional research or commercial activity.
