Check out this NEW Opportunity with Axient!
Make a Real Difference - At Axient, we are at the forefront of new missile defense technologies and engaged with the Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) rigorous operational and developmental flight, ground and cyber testing. This exciting, rewarding work helps guarantee the security of the United States and our Allies. Join a professional team of highly qualified engineers, analysts, scientists and technicians supporting the research, development, testing and evaluation of the missile defense system whose purpose is to detect, track, engage and destroy adversary missiles.
Your typical day - Our MDA analysts and engineers work in modern, well-appointed government facilities at Redstone Arsenal. Redstone Arsenal is located in Huntsville, Alabama, otherwise known as "Rocket City." Huntsville is the hub of missile and space research and development. You will collaborate with other missile defense experts - military, government civilians, and contractors from Axient and other companies. Our team of experts helps the Government manage planning, development, and delivery of state-of-the art sensors, weapons, communications, and command/control systems. As a member of MDA's Test Design and Analysis division, the Basic Engineer will provide critical flight test analysis to ensure the success of the MDA flight test program.
What you will do...
T he candidate will use their knowledge and technical skills to support MDA's Test Directorate in all aspects of flight test planning and range safety analysis . The c andidate will utilize core engineering and analytical skills to optimize target and interceptor missile trajectory data to perform quantitative safety and risk analyses of flight test designs to ensure ballistic missile flight / intercept tests can be conducted safely on national test ranges. Candidate will also perform studies to include telemetry link assessments that ensure flight test architecture meets data collection requirements . In addition, the candidate will develop range safety data products for use by MDA external organizations, to include national test ranges in their independent safety assessments of flight tests . The candidate may also assist in developing algorithms and models to facilitate assessments that meet standard risk parameters. Furthermore, the candidate will schedule, participate in, and present analysis at working group meetings, peer reviews and other technical meetings. T he candidate should have strong oral and written communications skills and be comfortable communicating to the customer and senior management . Candidate s hould be self-motivated, with the ability to make proper, timel y decisions and recommendations .
