MTSI is seeking a Data Analyst to support the USAF Test Pilot School at Edwards AFB, CA.
This position can be hybrid. It will require the ability and willingness to travel to Edwards AFB, CA up to 40%.
The Data Analyst provides mid-level data analysis and data-engineering support for Doolittle Labs’ flight-test campaigns and applied research. The Analyst executes day-to-day analysis under the technical direction of the Data Scientist and the Director of Data and Analytics, contributes to the lab’s data-driven test infrastructure buildout, and interfaces with OEM partners and external sponsors on post-event data.
Responsibilities and duties may include, but are not limited to:
