We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.</p> <p class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message"><u>OUR VALUES</u></p> <ul> <li class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message"><strong>Be the offset.</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.</li> <li class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message"><strong>What would it take?</strong> We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.</li> <li class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message"><strong>It’s the people.</strong> Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.</li> </ul></div><p><u>YOUR MISSION</u></p> <div> <div data-test-render-count="1"> <div class="group"> <div class="contents"> <div class="group relative relative pb-[var(--msg-assistant-pb,0.75rem)]" data-is-streaming="false"> <div class="font-claude-response relative leading-[1.65rem] [&_pre>div]:bg-bg-000/50 [&_pre>div]:border-0.5 [&_pre>div]:border-border-400 [&_.ignore-pre-bg>div]:bg-transparent [&_.standard-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pl-2 [&_.standard-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,ul,ol,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pr-8 [&_.progressive-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pl-2 [&_.progressive-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,ul,ol,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pr-8"> <div> <div class="standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [&_>_*]:min-w-0 gap-3 standard-markdown"> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">You'll turn spacecraft data into actionable insights across manufacturing and operations: building dashboards that surface production bottlenecks and on-orbit anomalies, analyzing test failures and mission telemetry to identify root causes, training predictive models that flag at-risk components before integration and detect spacecraft health degradation during missions, and mining telemetry to catch anomalies operators would miss. Your work spans the full spacecraft lifecycle. Pre-launch, you'll analyze manufacturing telemetry, test logs, failure reports, and supplier data to catch problems before integration. Post-launch, you'll monitor on-orbit telemetry streams, detect anomalies in spacecraft health data, analyze mission performance, and flag degradation patterns that predict future failures. This is entry-level data science work supporting hardware production and spacecraft operations. You'll write SQL queries, build predictive models in Python, create operational dashboards, and see your analysis drive decisions on the manufacturing floor and in mission control.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p><strong><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW102774745 BCX0">This is a 3 month temporary employment engagement.
