Posted yesterday, Join a dynamic team focused on automating and streamlining the Post-Test Analysis (PTA) pipeline for the THAAD Ground Station Team. This role aims to reduce manual analyst overhead, accelerate test validation, and generate key qualification deliverables.
Responsibilities

 * Architect and implement core automated log parsing, data reduction models, tool integrations, and reporting engines.
 * Develop, test, and maintain automated scripts, unit tests, and continuous build processes.
 * Engage in Agile Integration & Execution, managing features via prioritized backlogs with bi-monthly progress meetings and live working code demos.
 * Develop modular Python libraries and interactive Jupyter Notebook environments for hands-off test-step validation, log ingestion, parsing, error extraction, event sequencing, and time-series log alignment.
 * Leverage core Python data science libraries to process raw log streams, execute data reduction, and align sensor and target trajectory data in time and space.
 * Evaluate and integrate the Python-based SLAP tool for visual log parsing, timeline inspection, and diagnostic plotting.
 * Automate the compilation of telemetry, performance metrics, plots, and 3D mission reconstruction animations into standardized reports.
 * Utilize Test-Driven Development with unit/integration test suites, Docker containerization, and Git repository management.
