This role is critical to the development, testing, and fielding of advanced survivability systems that protect Army aviators and rotary-wing aircraft from emerging global threats. The successful candidate will leverage deep technical expertise in engineering, physics, optics, and statistical analysis to evaluate sensor performance, countermeasure effectiveness, and overall system reliability. This role requires extensive travel to government test ranges, contractor facilities, and military installations to actively participate in test events, oversee data collection, and provide analytical and forensic insights to inform decision-makers. Key Responsibilities Data Analysis & Modeling: Perform rigorous statistical data analysis on complex datasets derived from lab, flight, and field testing of ASE systems (e.g., missile warning systems, laser detection systems, and infrared countermeasures). * Physics & Optics Application: Apply principles of physics and optics to evaluate the performance of electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors, laser warning receivers, and directed energy countermeasures against simulated and live threats. * Test & Evaluation Support: Travel to support developmental and operational testing. Ensure data collection methodologies are sound and that data pipelines from test events are established and maintained. * Algorithm Evaluation: Analyze and validate threat detection algorithms, tracking software, and countermeasure dispensing logic using historical and newly collected test data. * Reporting & Visualization: Develop data visualization dashboards and comprehensive technical reports to communicate system performance, anomalies, and risk assessments to PM ASE leadership and stakeholders. * Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with systems engineers, flight test crews, software developers, and industry partners to translate data insights into actionable system improvements. ## Related Videos - [Alibaba Big Data and Machine Learning Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/37-alibaba-big-data-and-machine-learning-technology) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [Dirty Tests And How To Clean Them](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/515-dirty-tests-and-how-to-clean-them) - [Modern Data Architectures need Software Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1030-modern-data-architectures-need-software-engineering) - [Valven Atlas: Engineering Intelligence That Delivers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1660-valven-atlas-engineering-intelligence-that-delivers) ## Related Articles - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Data Analyst Salary Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/277-data-analyst-salary-germany) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries)
