2 months ago

Lexington, United States MIT Lincoln Laboratory Full time
Overview

The mission of the Flight Test Facility is to support research and development programs at Lincoln Laboratory by providing unique airborne test bed platforms, state-of-the-art test facilities and expert integration and flight-test risk management solutions.  The Flight Test Facility currently operates eight experimentally certificated commercially derivative airborne test beds ranging in size from a small single engine Cessna to corporate jets and also oversees the Laboratory’s UAS operations.  The Flight Test Facility has a history of operating larger UAS developed for the military such as the Puma and the Raven and currently all Laboratory UAS are operated by Laboratory groups and those operations are overseen by the Flight Test Facility.  As the number and complexity of UAS programs at the Laboratory and the complexity of the regulations governing those operations has increased the need for greater oversight and management of those operations has been realized.  The Flight Test Facility's first priority is safety of flight for all airborne operations.  All flight operations are conducted by using procedures and equipment that meet or exceed all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements.  As a result of various past airborne testing programs, mission-specific procedures have been developed, these procedures and the Federal Aviation Regulations provide for safe, effective and successful operations.  The Flight Test Facility team is comprised of a professional staff of test pilots, certified maintenance technicians, and administrative personnel.  We offer a collegial work environment, value teamwork and diversity, and allow for flexible work arrangements.

The Chief of UAS (Uncrewed Aircraft Systems) Operations will be assigned to the Flight Test Facility and act as MIT Lincoln Laboratory’s “Czar” and subject matter expert for the full gambit of UAS operations, including leading the Lab internal oversight functions of the growing UAS rapid prototype development and flight test operations. The majority of Laboratory UAS work supports Research and Development (R&D) operations for DoD, FAA, and multiple other state and federal government agencies. 

The candidate will be responsible for overseeing the Laboratory Exception-To-Policy (ETP) process, developing the Laboratory UAS configuration control and airworthiness processes and provide flight test knowledge and expertise for all Laboratory UAS operations.  This person will also lead the Laboratory UAS advisory committee to integrate all aspects of the Laboratory that affect the operations of UAS.  In addition, the candidate will act as UAS operator during flight test sorties when required.
