Description

Corvid Technologies seeks qualified candidates to join our Range Safety Group. Range safety requires the management of risks from a variety of hazards, including malfunctioning rocket components, falling debris with potentially high-energy and explosive impacts. This work integrates flight dynamics, probability and statistics, debris modeling, software development, and operational safety processes to protect the public, mission-essential personnel, and critical assets during missile launch and test operations.The candidate for this position will bring experience conducting risk analysis with the potential to add a senior level candidate that mentors staff and work directly with program managers and customer stakeholders. Candidate will use experience to independently manage workload, validate results, integrate multiple studies into a comprehensive analysis, and articulate methodology and key takeaways to technical and non-technical stakeholders.Key Responsibilities: Analyze nominal and off-nominal vehicle trajectories and predict debris impacts resulting from missile malfunction and flight termination actionsModel vehicle breakup debris, including ballistic and lifting aerodynamic fragmentsQuantify how relevant components of launch systems affect vehicle failure modes and responses, failure probabilities and mission-specific assumptionsPerform probabilistic risk analyses to determine statistical debris impact risk to the public and mission-essential personnelDevelop and validate flight safety risk mitigation products such as flight termination limit lines, hazard and caution areas, predicted impact areas, and mission execution rulesFor senior candidates, help define analysis approaches, review technical products, mentor analysts, manage and communicate complex flight safety methods and special studiesQualifications:Candidate must be a U.S. Citizen and be able to obtain (and maintain) a Secret ClearanceBachelor's Degree in Aerospace Engineering (or similar STEM discipline) and at least 3 years of relevant range safety experience (Senior candidates will be considered as well)Demonstrated proficiency with probability and statistics, data processing, and data analysis using standard software, such as Python and MATLAB, on large data setsStrong communication skills, sound engineering judgment, and a drive for continued learning in a multidisciplinary mission-focused environmentPreferred QualificationsExperience with flight safety, range safety, debris risk analysis, launch and missile test operations, or similar mission assurance workFamiliarity with Range Commanders Council (RCC) standards such as RCC 321 and RCC 319Proficiency with Linux shell commands, scripting, and high-performance computing workflowsProficiency with trajectory analysis tools such as TAOS or similar and knowledge of C++, Fortran, and other compiled languages used in scientific and engineering applicationsFamiliarity with automated flight safety systems, including use of Core Autonomous Safety Software (CASS), is a plusAbout Corvid:Corvid Technologies is an engineering firm specializing in high-fidelity, computational modeling and simulation to analyze, design, and manufacture products for aerospace, DoD, and commercial customers.
