About The Position

nLogic is seeking a Systems Engineer – Test Analyst in Huntsville, AL supporting the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). The primary role will be representing the SE&IT by supporting MDA/DE-SEA (Enterprise Analysis & Technical Innovation) and its role within the MDA Joint Analysis Team UAT). The position involves performing Missile Defense System (MDS) performance analysis of test data generated primarily by the MDA Ground Test (HWIL) program. Support may also extend to MDA Flight Test events, Real World Event data, and Golden Dome for America (GDA) tests. The role requires developing approaches and tools to support executing System-level and Element-level performance analysis on the complex MDS, and producing analysis results and inputs to the official SEA test report products. Findings will be presented during mission data reviews. The individual will be responsible for working with associated Systems Engineering (SE) teams, Test Organizations, Warfighters and Element Program focals to ensure MDS tests meet technical intent, assess system capabilities, and characterize behaviors. The role also involves developing, utilizing, and presenting analytical products to assess strategic and/or theater/regional element system level performance of the MDS in ground test and flight test events. SEA performs analysis on all elements of the MDS, with a focus on System-Level behaviors, and analyzes the performance of the MDS kill chain.
