What are the responsibilities and job description for the Group 2-24 | Co-Op | Biomedical & Physiological Signal Processing & Machine Learning | Jun-Dec 2026 position at MIT Lincoln Laboratory?
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 problems using biomedical signal processing and wearable technology. Through this opportunity, you will work with a multi-disciplinary team
consisting of engineers, scientists, and clinicians to prepare and process large biomedical and physiological datasets (e.g.,PPG, accelerometry, EOG, EEG, commercial-off-the-shelf wearable data, etc), develop and evaluate machine learning algorithms, and implement data visualization tools for advanced prediction and inference of physiological status (i.e. fatigue, illness, stress, etc). We are looking for students who are self-motivated
and interested in signal processing, machine learning, deep learning, statistical pattern recognition, and high-performance computing.
Requirements/Skills
MIT Lincoln Laboratory is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment and will not be discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, veteran status, disability status, or genetic information; U.S. citizenship is required.
