Flight Analyst

Employer description

Long Wall Company was created in 2024 to accelerate missile defense technology for the U.S. and our allies. We specialize in ballistic missile defense and are developing Cyclops, a low-cost, mass-producible interceptor. We also produce containerized launchers and offer low-cost targets for threat replication. The future of global security depends on defensive technology that redefines cost, magazine depth, and distribution to deter and defend against evolving threats. Join us.
 
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
Mission-Driven Problem Solvers– The problems in missile defense demand ingenuity. We want engineers who approach challenges with curiosity, embrace failure as a learning opportunity, and stay focused on delivering the best solution for the mission.
Total Ownership– We seek engineers who take full responsibility for delivering flight-ready work while recognizing that no one succeeds alone. The best engineers make their teammates better, knowing that complementary skills create force multiplication and drive mission success.

Flight Analyst 
DESCRIPTION 
As a Flight Analyst I, you will perform a mix of trajectory analysis and performance assessments, supporting mission design, pre-flight prediction, range safety integration, and post-flight reconstruction. You will build and maintain simulation models, generate propulsion, aerodynamic, and atmospheric models, run Monte Carlo analyses, and translate results into actionable recommendations for GNC, Test Operations, and Vehicle Engineering. This role is intentionally broad: we seek a fundamentals-strong engineer eager to flex across disciplines.
