Systems Engineer - Test Analyst

Role overview

Primary responsibilities

• Analyze Missile Defense System performance using test data generated primarily by the MDA Ground Test (HWIL) program.
• May support analysis of MDA flight-test events, real-world event data, and Golden Dome for America tests.
• Develop approaches and tools for system-level and element-level MDS performance analysis and produce analysis inputs for official SEA test reports.
• Present findings during mission data reviews.
• Coordinate with systems engineering teams, test organizations, warfighters, and element program focal points so tests meet technical intent, assess capabilities, and characterize behavior.
• Develop, use, and present analytical products assessing strategic and theater or regional system-level performance in ground- and flight-test events.
• Analyze the performance of the MDS kill chain.

Basic qualifications

• Currently hold an active Secret security clearance; a higher clearance is preferred.
• Degree and experience performing systems engineering test analysis for the Missile Defense System.
