What You'll Get To Do:
The Flight Analysis Manager will be responsible for the Flight Analysis Section within the SDS Systems Engineering organization and will report directly to the Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (MS&A) Department Manager. You will provide career mentorship and operational support to a Functional Home Room (FHR) team (Section) of between 8 and 12 Individual Contributors (ICs) based on Engineering goals, objectives, and company policy. Key FHR responsibilities will be personnel performance management, process familiarization and training for Section members, as well as staffing of roles on projects.
As a Section Manager you will be expected to spend roughly 20% of your effort on Functional Homeroom responsibilities with 80% of your efforts focused on a technical assignment on the Aerospace Vehicle Equipment (AVE) MS&A team.
The Flight Analysis Manager technical assignment will be to perform as a member of the Sentinel Flight Analysis Team responsible for AVE performance and flight assessment. This includes executing trajectory simulation tools, both in 3 and 6 degrees of freedom (DOF), and analyzing the results of those simulations. Trajectory simulations include, but are not limited to, payload to range, post boost vehicle maneuverability, weapon system effectiveness, accuracy, vehicle environment characterization, and flight test predictions. The Flight Analysis Manager will have key responsibility in supporting the evaluation of the missile's effectiveness against threat systems. They will also analyze other missile performance metrics related to that analysis. The Flight Analysis Team also owns the program level, end to end, 6DOF simulation. The team is responsible for development of this simulation, in collaboration with other teams, to ensure that the Weapon System meets requirements and stakeholder needs are met. Job responsibilities include software development of this simulation and other associated scripts and tools necessary to perform the above analyses.
