• Flight Tests: Plan and execute Test Missions which require robust test planning, logistics, safety, security, preparing the test asset, telemetry monitoring, all while continuously working with the customer, military, and test range
• Troubleshoot and Analyze: Identify and resolve hardware, software, and system issues through detailed data analysis and debugging along with supporting failure reporting, analysis, corrective action and/or fault tree analysis
• Perform Data Analysis: Collect and analyze data to ensure system performance and provide detailed reports of the results
• Document and Communicate: Create/modify documentation in support of reviews associated with formal testing, which may include Test Readiness Review (TRR), Consent to Ship (CTS), and Test Data Review (TDR) packages
• Collaborate: Interface and coordinate across the different company functions and with the customers, suppliers, and/or sub-contractors
• Lead: Lead a small team in integration and test activities
• Support Missions: Support occasional travel to conduct tests at test sites, vendor facilities, and customer locations as needed, typically one- or two-week durations, up to 25% of the year
