Junior Hypersonic Trajectory Analyst — Flight Test

Kodatech; Huntsville (AL); On-site; USD 85,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

KODA Technologies Inc. is seeking a Junior Hypersonic Flight Test Trajectory Analyst to join our team supporting DOD-wide initiatives to mature hypersonic technologies.

You will analyze, post-process, and reconstruct trajectory data from multiple sources to deliver best-estimate trajectories and support IV&V against safety requirements. The role involves developing trajectory models, running Monte Carlo analyses, and performing end-to-end trajectory generation with 6-DoF propagation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree (STEM) with 2-10 years' experience.
• Ability to develop tools in MATLAB, Python, or C++ to perform technical analysis of trajectory data.
• Experience or educational background in missile flight dynamics, equations of motion, coordinate transformations, and general physics-based M&S.
• Excellent people, organization, and technical skills with the ability to plan and coordinate tasks in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment.

Responsibilities

• Perform analysis that supports planning and execution of hypersonic vehicle flight testing.
• Develop, configure, and execute scripts/tools that perform post-processing, analysis, and IV&V of both simulated and flight test trajectory data against mission and range safety requirements.
• Perform flight test trajectory reconstruction from multiple sources of data to produce a best-estimated-trajectory of the flight vehicle.
• Develop, configure, and execute trajectory models and simulations, including end-to-end trajectory generation, Monte Carlo analysis, 6-DoF ballistic propagation, and other trajectory analysis.
• Document and present analysis at program technical reviews and milestones
