Make a Real Difference
- At Axient, we are at the forefront of new missile defense technologies and engaged with the Missile Defense Agencys (MDA) rigorous operational and developmental flight, ground and cyber testing. This exciting, rewarding work helps guarantee the security of the United States and our Allies. Join a professional team of highly qualified engineers, analysts, scientists and technicians supporting the research, development, testing and evaluation of the missile defense system whose purpose is to detect, track, engage and destroy adversary missiles.Your Typical Day
Our MDA analysts and engineers work in modern, well-appointed government facilities at Redstone Arsenal. Redstone Arsenal is located in Huntsville, Alabama, otherwise known as Rocket City. Huntsville is the hub of missile and space research and development. You will collaborate with other missile defense experts military, government civilians, and contractors from Axient and other companies. Our team of experts helps the Government manage planning, development, and delivery of state-of-the art sensors, weapons, communications, and command/control systems. As a member of MDAs Test Design and Analysis division, the Intermediate Analyst will provide critical ground test analysis to ensure the success of the MDA ground test program.What you will do...:The candidate will utilize their knowledge and technical skills to support MDAs Test Directorate by providing ground testing pre-mission analysis and data validation of sensor and battlespace coverage, radar cross section, radar object and scatter count, post-intercept debris, and threat system performance verification and validation.The candidate will utilize engineering and analytical skills to develop ground test pre-mission data products for use by MDA internal organizations in support of MDAs ground test program, as well as develop algorithms and models to facilitate efficiencies in the production of the pre-mission data products.Furthermore, the candidate may be required to schedule, participate in, and present analysis at working group meetings, peer reviews and other technical meetings.
