DESCRIPTION:

ABSI Aerospace & Defense is an innovative small business located in Southern Maryland near Naval Air Station Patuxent River. Operating in the quickly evolving areas of unmanned/manned systems integration, LVC simulations and training, test and evaluation, training, and autonomous systems. ABSI is growing rapidly. With a focus on maintaining a highly committed and well-compensated workforce, the company seeks to continue building opportunities within DoD and commercial venues.

We are currently seeking highly qualified applicants to work at the US Air Force Test Pilot School, specifically supporting development and delivery of a Test and Evaluation training course for US Air Force and Space Force personnel including aircrew, operators and engineers.

ABSI supports these classes with a mixture of primarily on-site personnel, some part time subject matter experts, and virtual learning as needed.

We are seeking a highly skilled Flight Sciences Instructor with DoD Test and Evaluation (T&E) experience to support the development and delivery of advanced instructional courses. The ideal candidate will have flight test experience and expertise in disciplines such as aerodynamics, performance, stability and control, propulsion, and aircraft systems integration.

  • Provide subject matter expertise and analysis in flight sciences disciplines such as aerodynamics, propulsion, stability & control, and performance testing to develop and deliver classroom instruction and guide practical exercises in support of Space Test curriculum

  • Develop and administer evaluations to assess student proficiency, identify areas for improvement, and provide constructive feedback
