• Analyze system- and component-level telemetry to uncover performance trends, anomalies, and root causes of failures or degradation.
• Parse, visualize, and interpret large, multi-channel time-series datasets from onboard sensors and instrumentation.
• Use tools appropriate to process and model mechanical, electrical, and thermal performance data (Python, MATLAB, etc.).
• Correlate data across multiple subsystems (thermal, vibration, actuator, structural, power) to reconstruct system behavior and identify failure sequences.
• Own nonconformity management process till stage D4.
• Develop clear, evidence-based conclusions to support Root Cause and Corrective Action (RCCA) activities.
• Collaborate with design, reliability, and test engineering teams to validate findings and implement solutions.
• Produce high-quality technical reports, plots, and executive summaries to communicate insights to engineering and leadership teams.
• Recommend enhancements to data logging, instrumentation, and analysis methods to improve diagnostic capabilities.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical, or Systems Engineering (or related technical discipline).
• 3+ years of experience in system testing, reliability engineering, or telemetry-based performance analysis.
• Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, or similar tools for data analysis, signal processing, and visualization.
• Strong analytical mindset and practical understanding of mechanical and physical system behavior (vibration, dynamics, thermal, structural).
• Proven ability to extract insights and conclusions from noisy or incomplete data.
• Excellent technical writing and communication skills — able to present data-driven findings clearly and concisely.
