• Develops software to support testing and analysis initiatives.
• Supports verification and validation of software, models, and data.
• Works with avionics, sensor, Electronic Warfare, and weapons-related test systems.
• Supports testing of manned and unmanned modeled and simulated combat aircraft, threat systems, and missile systems.
• Analyzes test results and compares findings against system performance standards, mission requirements, and test plan objectives.
• Prepares and presents outcomes through clear, accurate plots, tables, and other graphical representations.
• Advise team and project managers on technical problems.
• Interact with customers and project managers on a regular basis.
• Work independently of direct supervision on projects of high complexity.
• Use judgment and initiative in developing complex analytical and computational technologies and methodologies for solving problems, which may be technically unique to the industry.
