What are the responsibilities and job description for the Operational Research Analyst position at Silent Falcon UAS Technologies?
At Silent Falcon UAS Technologies, we are at the forefront of AI and digital twins innovation for airports and transportation infrastructure, revolutionizing operations and enhancing safety. Our mission is to optimize efficiency and drive transformative change in the industry through cutting-edge technology solutions.
Silent Falcon UAS is searching for an Operational Research Analyst located in Egg Harbor NJ who can support the FAA with researching the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). This research involves exploring various aspects of UAS, including testing detection and mitigation systems and investigating their applications in airport environments. The research conducted by ATR commands significant attention due to its visible nature and ever-evolving objectives, which play a critical role in enhancing airport safety and optimizing the National Airspace System (NAS).
Program LCat – Operational Research Analyst – Level 3
As a Research Analyst-3, you will help ensure today is safe and tomorrow is smarter. Our success depends on a dynamic, collaborative team to support the FAA assess the capabilities of UAS detection and mitigation systems, and research how to best use UAS to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of airport operations.
The employee will conduct quantitative analysis using operations research tools and other quantitative techniques in the areas of procedural implementations and performance issues. They will also assist in the definition of data mining strategies.
The employee will identify innovative research themes related to the UAS detection and mitigation which includes key themes: Airport Operations, Airport Services, and National Airspace (NAS) systems. The employee will support development and execution of plans assess the UAS detection capabilities of systems. They will write, co-write, edit, and publish a diversity of outputs (working papers, engineering briefings, technical reports) authored with internal and external stakeholders.
The employee will be expected to support creation, execution, and refinement of research, development, test, and evaluation (RTE&D) plans. They should be familiar with data aggregation, clean-up and normalization, and studies for analytics projects. The employee will identify data trends and provide insights that can be used to characterize system performance and guide additional research. They will collaborate directly with internal and external clients to meet analytics demands.
HOW A RESEARCH ANALYST SENIOR MAKEs AN IMPACT
Required Skills and Abilities: Demonstrated knowledge and experience with the FAA, airport, or aviation related experience. Basic understanding of evaluating functional capabilities of a system or technology. Able complete assigned tasks with little or no supervision. Excellent technical writing skills. Able to present technical information to technical and non-technical audiences. Self-Starter. Highly collaborative. Familiarity with MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint.
Preferred Skills: Creating and executing test plans and procedures, data analysis, data visualization. Proficiency using MS Excel formulas and/or tools like JMP to statistically analyze data and develop visualizations of the research data.
Work on site at the Customer site (William J Hughes Technical Center, near Atlantic City NJ)
Must have or the ability to obtain a valid US Passport.
Possible travel: 10% to 25%
