Highway Research Engineer
High Performance Technologies, Inc. (HPTech) is an infrastructure-centered firm focusing on practice, research, policy, and technology transfer. HPTech was established in 2003 with the primary purpose of serving the U.S. federal government at their facilities and project sites.

HPTech is currently pursuing an upcoming major federal contract, and we are identifying candidates who would be interested in working with us should we be awarded the contract. At this stage, we are looking for a Highway Research Engineer (HRE) who will be responsible for planning and conducting research related to the design, analysis, construction, maintenance, and performance modeling of highway infrastructure that examine the complex interactions between traffic loads, materials, construction methodologies, and environment. The HRE will evaluate construction practices to understand and account for variances between as-designed versus as-constructed and to identify improved construction practices to enhance long term performance. The candidate will also be responsible for developing methodologies and guidance to incorporate resilience into infrastructure design, construction, maintenance and preservation processes.
