The business problem is to analyze time-series data, characterize system performance, and support data-driven decision-making and stakeholder communication for the PM PNT program.
Requirements
- Proficiency in MATLAB (required) and Python (preferred).
- Proficiency in SQL, Excel, and potentially statistical programming languages.
- Ability to interpret data, identify patterns, and draw conclusions.
- Ability to use data analysis to identify and solve business problems.
- Apply statistical analysis to time-series data and generate relevant summary statistics to characterize system performance across test conditions.
- Supplement quantitative test results with visual analytics to support data-driven decision-making and stakeholder communication.
- Operate GPS simulator to evaluate system performance under complex Electronic Warfare (EW) threats.
Responsibilities
- Develop interactive data visualizations using MATLAB, Python, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to present system performance and test results to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Collaborate with team members to design data dashboards or reporting tools that enhance visibility into test outcomes and system behavior trends.
- Debug, improve, and extend data analysis tools to support automated processing, statistical analysis, and visual reporting.
- Develop and operate QuickLook tools to generate immediate, high-level views of collected data during testing, enabling timely review of system behavior and verify proper data capture configuration.
- Analyze data related to integrated GPS receiver, Inertial Measurement Unit, and other complementary sensors.
- Analyze data related to position accuracy, position confidence levels, and signal integrity.
- Conduct tests to evaluate system performance in both benign and Global Positioning System (GPS) threat environments.
Other
- Ability to clearly communicate findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Detail-oriented with technical, verbal, and written communication skills.
- Brief results to external stakeholders and answer questions, with the ability to defend results with technical analysis of test data.
- Assist in defining and documenting system requirements for current and future systems.
- Support local testing activities in the PNT lab and local areas, including setting up equipment (units under test and test equipment), troubleshooting, ensuring proper equipment configuration for data collection, and data analysis.
