Job summary

SAIC is seeking a highly skilled Sr. Engineer to serve as an Analysis Lead for the Mach-TB program office in Crane, IN.

The role focuses on leading telemetry data processing, generating BETs and QLBs, and ensuring decrypted TM data is used to produce precise trajectory analyses for real-time GN&C applications. Responsibilities include data handling, TM rack operations, and producing navigation solutions (GPS/IMU), with emphasis on data quality, documentation, and timely stakeholder

Qualifications

• Interim Secret clearance required to start (ability to obtain Top Secret)
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering discipline
• Experience in telemetry data analysis or GN&C
• Proficiency in handling the six degrees of freedom (6DOF) analysis
• Experience with decryption processes and handling decrypted telemetry

Responsibilities

• Help lead end-to-end telemetry data processing efforts for the MACH-TB program, ensuring accurate and timely generation of BETs and QLBs.
• Oversee data handling, including the decryption (if necessary) and best source selection of telemetry data streams, as well as processing individual TM antenna recordings.
• Manage and operate TM rack equipment to receive decrypted telemetry links (data and clock) and IRIG-B timing signals from the Range or Vehicle provider.
• Process telemetry inputs to generate 6DOF navigation solutions (GPS time/position/velocity, IMU data, and blends).
• Produce IMU-only navigation solutions when available.
• Analyze telemetry format documents and ensure access to word/frame locations, sync patterns, data rates, scale factors, bias/offset factors, and engineering units.
• Manage and validate data quality and integrity, ensuring a nominal trajectory file drives HWIL and SIL testing.
• Analyze and interpret information from pre-launch through post-impact/LOS.
• Ensure timely delivery and communication of analysis results to stakeholders.

Posting description

SAIC is seeking a highly motivated Sr. Engineer to serve as an Analysis Lead for the Mach-TB Program Office. This individual will help lead pre- and post-mission analysis activities, overseeing on-site processing of telemetry (TM) data related to the MACH-TB program. This role involves the generation of Best Estimate Trajectory (BET) and Quick-Look Brief (QLB) data products by processing Launch Vehicle (LV) and MACH-TB 'owned' Test Vehicle telemetry data. Critical oversight ensures decrypted TM links and other telemetry data are utilized for precise trajectory and performance analysis. The candidate must demonstrate expertise working with navigation solutions, telemetry format interpretation, and real-time GN&C (Guidance, Navigation & Control) data processing in demanding aerospace or test environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Help lead end-to-end telemetry data processing efforts for the MACH-TB program, ensuring accurate and timely generation of BETs and QLBs.
• Oversee data handling, including the decryption (if necessary) and best source selection of telemetry data streams, as well as processing individual TM antenna recordings.
• Manage and operate TM rack equipment to receive decrypted telemetry links (data and clock) and IRIG-B timing signals from the Range or Vehicle provider.
• Process telemetry inputs to generate the following:
• 6DOF navigation solutions for instrumented objects including:
• GPS: Time, Position, Velocity.
• IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) outputs: Time, delta angles, delta velocities, body-sensed accelerations, body orientation, and rates.
• Blended GPS/IMU Navigation Solution (if available).
• IMU-only Navigation Solution (if available).
• Body-frame definitions.
• Analyze telemetry format documents and ensure adequate documentation/access to:
• Word locations
• Frame locations
• Sync patterns
• Data rates
• Scale factors
• Bias/offset factors
• Engineering units
• Manage and validate data quality and integrity, ensuring a nominal trajectory file drives decrypted hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing.
• Analyze and interpret information from pre-launch through post-impact/loss-of-signal (LOS).
• Ensure timely delivery and communication of analysis results to stakeholders.

Minimum Requirements:

• Interim Secret Clearance required to start, with ability to obtain Top Secret Clearance
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering discipline (e.g., Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science)
• Experience in telemetry data analysis or a related GN&C field.
• Proficiency in handling the six degrees of freedom (6DOF) analysis and generation of navigation solutions.
• Strong expertise in interpreting telemetry format data and creating corresponding data products.
• Experience with decryption processes and handling decrypted telemetry
