Standards Development information

What is a standards development?

A Standards Development job involves creating, reviewing, and maintaining industry-specific guidelines and best practices to ensure consistency, safety, and interoperability. Professionals in this role collaborate with stakeholders, such as government agencies, industry experts, and organizations, to develop consensus-based standards. They research emerging trends, draft technical documents, and facilitate discussions to refine and implement standards. This work is essential in industries like technology, healthcare, manufacturing, and engineering to ensure compliance and efficiency.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a standards development professional?

Professionals in Standards Development typically spend their days drafting and reviewing technical documents, coordinating input from subject-matter experts, and ensuring compliance with existing regulations and best practices. Regular responsibilities also include facilitating committee meetings, tracking changes to industry guidelines, and liaising with external partners or regulatory bodies. Teamwork is central to the role, as much of the work requires collaboration with cross-functional teams and stakeholders. This environment provides excellent opportunities to broaden your industry knowledge and to build relationships that can support career advancement into leadership or specialized technical roles.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the standards development position, and why are they important?

To thrive in Standards Development, you need a strong background in technical writing, regulatory compliance, and subject-matter expertise, often supported by a degree in engineering, science, or a related field. Familiarity with standards management tools, document control systems, and relevant industry certifications (such as ISO auditor or ASQ certification) is highly valued. Exceptional analytical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills help you effectively engage with diverse stakeholders and committees. These skills are crucial for creating, revising, and maintaining standards that align with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Job description

This position is part of the National Institute of Standards (NIST) Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. NIST recognizes that its research staff may wish to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest, thus requires that such institutions must be the recipient of a PREP award. The PREP program requires staff from a wide range of backgrounds to work on scientific research in many areas. Employees in this position will perform technical work that underpins the scientific research of the collaboration.
RESEARCH TITLEEmergency Response Robot Standards Development
JOB DESCRIPTIONThe U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is leading an international initiative to develop standardized test methods for ground-based robotic systems and small unmanned aircraft systems. This work is being carried out through the ASTM International Standards Committee on Homeland Security Applications-Response Robots (ASTM E54.09).
NIST invites collaboration on research and development efforts aimed at advancing standardized testing for robotic systems. The scope of this collaborative research includes:
  • Designing test apparatuses, performance metrics, and data collection tools to evaluate system capabilities and remote operator proficiency.
  • Validating testing protocols, modeling and simulation tools, and reference materials.
  • Analyzing experimental data to establish average and best-in-class performance benchmarks, enabling responders to assess and compare their systems using standardized metrics.
  • Analyze sensor data and draw suitable conclusions for improving the robot's efficiency
  • Conduct research to improve and innovate robotic technologies, including AI integration, sensor development, and automation processes.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate robotics solutions into existing systems and workflows.
  • Test, evaluate, and troubleshoot robotic systems to ensure optimal performance and compliance with industry standards.
  • Maintain accurate documentation of designs, processes, and results, and prepare technical reports for stakeholders
  • Provide technical support and guidance to other engineers and stakeholders involved in robotics projects.

Collaborative work will take place at NIST facilities, and at designated field exercises or data collection events. Testing will involve representative robotic systems to assess the relevance and effectiveness of the test methods for public safety applications.
EXPECTATIONS/RESPONSABILITIES
  • The researcher is expected to be able to work independently.
  • They must be able to communicate their goals, needs, and project updates clearly.
  • They will be expected to document their work well and be prepared to present findings.
  • They will conduct experiments, analyze data, and report/document results through technical publications.

QUALIFICATIONSRequired experience:
  • Must be a US Citizen
  • Must have or the ability to obtain a Part 107 remote pilot certificate.
  • Strong background in engineering or engineering technology or related field.
  • Must have strong 3-D modeling experience in SketchUp or similar software
  • Programming in Python, C++ or equivalent.

Preferred experience:
  • Strong communication and technical writing skills
  • Strong working knowledge of video editing software; adobe premier
  • Strong working knowledge of all Microsoft office products (excel, word, powerpoint)
  • Strong working knowledge of indesign
