We’re looking for a Staff Engineer to lead V-BAT’s fleet data analysis efforts. The V-BAT system produces rich data from real-world flight tests, fielded aircraft, production activity, and simulation runs.  

You will own the analysis pipelines, tooling, standards, and metrics that help the team understand fleet-wide system performance derived from information from software and hardware systems. You will facilitate deep studies into flight-critical sensor performance, navigation, communications, and other key aircraft behaviors. You will work closely with DevOps, Flight Software, Flight Test, Production, Quality, and Operations teams to turn complex aircraft data into actionable engineering insight.
