Technical Program Manager: System Data Analysis

YOUR MISSION

The Technical Program Manager, System Data Analysis serves as a technical data integrator across subsystem and system-level test activities, transforming engineering, test, and mission data into accurate, actionable insights before and after test campaigns. This role is focused on technical data integration & analysis, supporting test planning and execution by defining data-analysis approaches, preparing pre-test and pre-mission data products, coordinating data needs across engineering and test teams, and ensuring that instrumentation, telemetry, and other data systems support test objectives. Following test execution, this role leads data processing, analysis, synthesis, and reporting to support test assessment, anomaly identification, and technical decision-making. This position works closely with engineering, test operations, systems engineering, modeling and simulation, program leadership, customers, and other external stakeholders. The successful candidate will combine strong technical data-analysis skills with the communication and organizational abilities required to coordinate across multiple teams, create clear test outbriefs, manage the data sets' integration across the program's various needs, and flow relevant datasets and insights to the modeling and simulation team.

What You’ll Own

• Support data analysis across subsystem-, system-, ground-, and flight-test programs from pre-test planning through post-test assessment; develop analysis plans aligned with test objectives, requirements, success criteria, and expected system behavior.
• Define data products, processing workflows, analysis methods, and visualizations in coordination with engineering, test, instrumentation, telemetry, ground systems, and modeling and simulation teams.
• Review test plans, procedures, instrumentation, telemetry, and data-acquisition approaches to ensure required data is available, usable, and traceable.
• Perform data ingestion, conditioning, synchronization, reduction, validation, and analysis; analyze time-series, telemetry, instrumentation, and performance data.
• Assess data quality, completeness, calibration, consistency, and traceability; compare measured results with requirements, predictions, simulations, reference cases, and expected system performance.
• Identify and support the characterization, triage, and resolution of anomalies, discrepancies, and unexpected system behavior.
• Synthesize data across multiple subsystems and test sources to develop system-level conclusions; flow relevant datasets, assumptions, lessons learned, and insights to modeling and simulation teams.
• Create technically rigorous test reports and executive-ready outbriefs for engineering teams, leadership, customers, and external stakeholders; translate complex findings into clear conclusions, visuals, recommendations, and follow-up actions.
• Maintain analysis documentation, data dictionaries, scripts, plots, and traceability; manage deliverables, dependencies, risks, and data limitations; support readiness, post-test, anomaly, and other technical reviews while improving repeatability through automation, standardized data products, and configuration management.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in aerospace, mechanical, electrical, or computer engineering, applied mathematics, physics, data science, or a related technical field
• 7+ years of relevant engineering industry experience
• Demonstrated experience processing and analyzing data from engineering, ground, flight, or integrated system activities, including time-series, telemetry, instrumentation, data-acquisition, or other engineering datasets.
• Demonstrated experience with MATLAB and Simulink skills for data processing, analysis, visualization, modeling, and simulation, with experience integrating with or analyzing C/C++-based system models. Ability to understand model inputs, outputs, interfaces, configuration parameters, and implementation assumptions.
• Understanding of data-processing workflows, including filtering, conditioning, synchronization, calibration, reduction, validation, visualization, and assessment of data quality, completeness, and consistency.
• Ability to synthesize data from multiple subsystems and compare measured results with requirements, models, simulations, predictions, or expected system performance.
• Strong technical writing, presentation, and communication skills, including experience creating test reports, technical briefings, and outbriefs for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate across engineering, test, operations, modeling and simulation, program management, and external stakeholder teams, including support for test planning, readiness reviews, post-test reviews, and anomaly investigations.
• Ability to manage multiple analysis efforts, priorities, dependencies, and deliverables in a high-tempo, matrixed environment; influence teams without direct authority and maintain a strong commitment to data integrity, analytical rigor, and traceability.
• Experience with Atlassian tools, including Jira and Confluence.
• U.S. citizenship and eligibility to obtain and hold a U.S. security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree in engineering, applied mathematics, physics, data science, or a related technical discipline
• Active U.S. security clearance (S, TS, TS/SCI)
• Experience analyzing data from integrated spacecraft, missile systems, launch vehicles, high-performance flight systems, or other safety-critical platforms.
• Experience supporting subsystem-level and integrated system-level testing, including flight test, ground test, hardware-in-the-loop, software-in-the-loop, or mission simulation.
• Experience developing automated data-processing pipelines, reusable analysis tools, or standardized technical data products.
• Experience with MATLAB toolboxes for signal processing, control systems, statistics, or data acquisition, and with Simulink model validation, model correlation, or test-to-model comparison.
• Experience with Python, SQL, or other technical data-processing languages.
• Experience with telemetry systems, instrumentation, sensors, timing systems, or flight-test data products.
• Familiarity with requirements verification, acceptance criteria, test success criteria, anomaly resolution, root-cause analysis, or fault isolation.
• Experience presenting technical results to customers, government stakeholders, executive leadership, or external partners; background in systems engineering, GNC, propulsion, avionics, communications, flight software, or integrated vehicle systems.
• Experience with configuration management, controlled technical data environments, test ranges, mission operations, ground systems, or operational data flows.

COMPENSATION

• Base Salary: $155,000- $220,000
• Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

• Ability to maintain or obtain TS//SCI clearance
• Work Location—Successful candidates will be located near Denver or Long Beach. Strong preference in Denver, but open to Long Beach as well. While we observe a hybrid work environment, some work must be done on site
• Work Travel — This role will require travel to test sites, estimated at 10% of the time.
• Work environment—the work environment; temperature, noise level, inside or outside, or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job.
