• Understanding of filtering, conditioning, synchronization, calibration, reduction, validation, visualization, and data-quality assessment.
• Ability to synthesize data across subsystems and compare measurements with requirements, models, simulations, predictions, or expected system performance.
• Strong technical writing, presentation, and communication skills for technical reports, briefings, and outbriefs to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to coordinate across engineering, test, operations, modeling and simulation, program management, and external stakeholder teams.
• Ability to manage multiple efforts, priorities, dependencies, and deliverables in a high-tempo matrixed environment while maintaining data integrity, analytical rigor, and traceability.
• Experience with Atlassian tools, including Jira and Confluence.
• U.S. citizenship and eligibility to obtain and hold a U.S. security clearance are required.
