Flight Data Analysis Engineer

About the role

Redwire Corporation is seeking a Flight Data Analysis Engineer to turn complex telemetry and performance data from advanced uncrewed aircraft systems into actionable insights. The role supports reliability, safety and performance improvements for next‑generation aerospace platforms.

Key responsibilities

• Analyze system‑ and component‑level telemetry to identify performance trends, anomalies and root causes.
• Parse, visualize and interpret large multi‑channel time‑series datasets from onboard sensors.
• Use tools such as Python or MATLAB to process and model mechanical, electrical and thermal performance data.
• Correlate data across subsystems (thermal, vibration, actuator, structural, power) to reconstruct system behavior.
• Own the non‑conformity management process through stage D4 and develop evidence‑based conclusions for RCCA activities.
• Collaborate with design, reliability and test engineering teams to validate findings and implement solutions.
• Produce technical reports, plots and executive summaries for engineering and leadership audiences.
• Recommend enhancements to data logging, instrumentation and analysis methods.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical or Systems Engineering or a related discipline.
• 3+ years of experience in system testing, reliability engineering or telemetry‑based performance analysis.
• Strong analytical mindset with practical understanding of mechanical and physical system behavior.
• Excellent technical writing and communication skills.

Required skills

• MATLAB
• Python
• Data analysis and signal processing
• Data visualization
