Data Analysis Engineer IV Aerospace Systems & Telemetry

Description

WORK LOCATION : Huntsville, AL

FLSA STATUS : Exempt

SALARY RANGE : The anticipated salary range for this role is $148,900 - $194,700 annually. This range reflects a good faith estimate based on the targeted level for the role and typical compensation benchmarks across U.S. locations. Actual compensation may vary depending on the selected candidate’s qualifications, experience, geographical location, and internal alignment.

SUMMARY

We are seeking a data-driven engineer with a strong foundation in mechanical or aerospace systems and deep expertise in telemetry and performance data analysis. In this role, you’ll transform complex datasets into actionable insights that drive root cause investigations, corrective actions, and continuous improvement for advanced uncrewed aircraft systems.

The ideal candidate combines hands-on engineering intuition with strong data analytics skills and  understanding of how hardware behaves. You’ll play a critical role in improving the reliability, safety, and performance of next-generation aerospace platforms.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The following job functions are a basic requirement but are not limited to and may be assigned other duties.

• Analyze system- and component-level telemetry to uncover performance trends, anomalies, and root causes of failures or degradation.
• Parse, visualize, and interpret large, multi-channel time-series datasets from onboard sensors and instrumentation.
• Use tools such as Python, MATLAB, or equivalent to process and model mechanical, electrical, and thermal performance data.
• Correlate data across multiple subsystems (thermal, vibration, actuator, structural, power) to reconstruct system behavior and identify failure sequences.
• Develop clear, evidence-based conclusions to support Root Cause and Corrective Action (RCCA) activities.
• Collaborate with design, reliability, and test engineering teams to validate findings and implement solutions.
• Produce high-quality technical reports, plots, and executive summaries to communicate insights to engineering and leadership teams.
• Recommend enhancements to data logging, instrumentation, and analysis methods to improve diagnostic capabilities.
