Biomedical Engineer

The National Eye Institute seeks a biomedical engineer to support its clinical electrophysiology and psychophysics service. You will design, improve research procedures, software, data analysis, and instrumentation; collaborate with clinical/scientific teams; and ensure patient safety while supporting research on vision-related diseases. The ideal candidate will have experience working with patients with vision-related disorders. Knowledge in clinical electrophysiology/psychophysics is desired. PRINCIPALES MISSIONS : At the GS-11, duties are as follows: Design and construct instrumentation systems used in clinical and basic research. Developing and testing different computer applications related to biotechnology. Evaluate experimental needs to determine optimum approaches to instrumentation. Evaluate the products and systems offered by manufacturers for performance, reliability, cost-effectiveness, serviceability, availability, and recommend purchase of the most suitable items. Tests systems, Train users on the operation of the system, and write operator instructions or manuals. Write articles for publication in technical journals. At the GS-12, duties are as follows: Plan, design and construct instrumentation systems used in clinical and basic research.
