Technology Analyst, Deep Tech

About the Role

This is a communication-heavy technical role focused on translating complex technology into compelling narratives for funding acquisition. You will conduct independent technology research and analyses, including qualitative and quantitative assessments of scientific principles and their impact on devices and systems. A key aspect is the ability to learn and explain technologies across various fields.

Key Responsibilities

• Stay updated on program developments within government agencies such as DOE, DOD, Department of Commerce, NSF, and relevant state programs.
• Provide background support and preparation for technical presentations, collateral, concept papers, white papers, grant applications, and RFP responses.

• Self-starter with the ability to work in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
• Ability to quickly adapt to change and work on multiple projects simultaneously.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in a hard science or engineering discipline (e.g., materials science, physics, physical chemistry, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, nuclear engineering, or similar).

Bonus Points

• Experience in the semiconductor / critical minerals / nuclear / advanced manufacturing / materials science space.
• Experience working in or alongside a government agency, policy team, or grant-writing organization.
