R136620**About the Opportunity**# **About the opportunity:**## ## Join a mission-driven team developing advanced cybersecurity platforms that protect hospitals and clinics from cybersecurity threats. This position will help build Whole-Hospital Simulations (WHS)—realistic testbeds that emulate healthcare environments—and Vulnerability Mitigation Platforms (VMPs) that safeguard medical devices and both clinical and non-clinical networks. The work will directly impact patient safety and digital resilience in some of the most vulnerable healthcare settings. If successful, your engineering will revolutionize the healthcare pen testing marketplace to shift from compliance-based thinking to “how gracefully does your hospital fail and how quickly recover when under attack” thinking. The platforms will also cause a paradigm shift in the medical device security regulatory frameworks to shift evaluations from component-level thinking of individual medical devices to whole-hospital system thinking of oodles of interacting medical devices and more.## * ## Reports to the Technical Lead and Program Manager.* ## Works closely with cross-functional teams including system architects, cybersecurity researchers, hospital liaisons, and software engineers.* ## May mentor junior UI developers or interns as needed.* ## Participates in regular program reviews, sprint planning, and stakeholder engagement sessions.## # **Key Responsibilities & Accountabilities:**## ## (25%) Design and develop intuitive user interfaces and interactive dashboards for the Vulnerability Mitigation Platform (VMP), enabling hospital IT teams and non-technical administrators to visualize and manage complex cyber environments—including digital twins and Whole-Hospital-Simulation (WHS) configurations—with clarity and efficiency.## ## (30%) Work cross-functionally with technical teams and partner hospitals to integrate emulators, detection tools, and remediation modules into the Vulnerability Mitigation Platform (VMP), while conducting user research and usability testing to ensure the interface meets the practical needs of hospital IT staff and administrators.## ## (25%) Transform complex backend processes into intuitive, actionable UI components, while driving rapid prototyping and iterative interface development within Whole-Hospital-Simulation (WHS) sandbox environments.## ## (10%) Ensure compliance with cybersecurity best practices and healthcare data protection standards.## ## **(10%) Document UI workflows and provide training materials for hospital stakeholders**## ## # **Core Qualifications:**## ## ● Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, Software Engineering, or related field. ● 3+ years of experience in UI/UX design and front-end development for complex systems. ● Proficiency in modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue.js). ● Strong understanding of secure design principles and accessibility standards. ● Experience with data visualization tools and libraries (e.g., D3.js, Chart.js). ● Familiarity with backend integration (RESTful APIs, GraphQL). ● Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams. ● Prior experience in healthcare, cybersecurity, or simulation environments is a plus.# **Documents required:**## Resume## Cover letter**Position Type**Information Technology**Additional Information**Northeastern University considers factors such as candidate work experience, education and skills when extending an offer.Northeastern has a comprehensive benefits package for benefit eligible employees.

Salary ranges are reviewed regularly and are subject to change.*Founded in 1898, Northeastern is a global research university and the recognized leader in experiential lifelong learning. Our approach of integrating real-world experience with education, research, and innovation empowers our students, faculty, alumni, and partners to create worldwide impact.Our global university system provides our community and academic, government, and industry partners with unique opportunities to think locally and act globally. The system—which includes 14 campuses across the U.S., U.K., and Canada, 300,000-plus alumni, and 3,000 partners worldwide—serves as a platform for scaling ideas, talent, and solutions.
The university’s residential campuses for undergraduate and graduate degrees are located in Boston, London, and Oakland, California. Our research and graduate campuses are in the Massachusetts communities of Burlington and Nahant; Arlington, Virginia; Charlotte, North Carolina; Miami; Portland, Maine; Seattle; Silicon Valley, California; Toronto; and Vancouver.Northeastern’s personalized, experiential undergraduate and graduate programs lead to degrees through the doctorate in 10 colleges and schools across our campuses. Learning emphasizes the intersection of data, technology, and human literacies, uniquely preparing graduates for careers of the future and lives of fulfillment and accomplishment.
Our research enterprise, with an R1 Carnegie classification, is solutions oriented and spans the world. Our faculty scholars and students work in teams that cross not just disciplines, but also sectors—aligned around solving today’s highly interconnected global challenges and focused on transformative impact for humankind. #J-18808-Ljbffr
