Advanced Air Mobility & Unmanned Aerial Systems Technical Analyst

Harris Miller Miller & Hanson Inc. (HMMH) is a nationally recognized leader in environmental and technical consulting for infrastructure projects. Since 1981 we have supported federal agencies and their contractors in managing environmental impacts across aviation defense energy and other federally funded initiatives. We specialize in the study assessment and mitigation of noise and vibration air quality and sustainability impacts providing our clients with innovative scientifically grounded solutions.

We are seeking a technically focused mid-level consultant to support and grow our air mobility systems portfolio including advanced air mobility (AAM) urban air mobility (UAM) and uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) in our Federal Programs group. This position is ideal for a candidate with AAM UAS and/or UAM experience a strong technical background in noise analysis infrastructure planning and/or community integration for air mobility systems and non-legacy air vehicles and a passion for developing innovative data-driven analytical solutions for advanced aviation systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary technical lead for technical and analytical project tasks managing modeling and analysis efforts from scoping through completion and ensuring quality budget and schedule adherence.
• Conduct noise modeling and analysis for AAM/UAM/UAS aircraft air mobility systems and non-legacy air vehicles including alternative fuel vehicles (e.g. hybrid electric hydrogen) using tools such as AEDT Advanced Acoustics Model or other relevant acoustic simulation platforms.
• Evaluate flight paths operational data and urban environments to assess and mitigate noise and other environmental impacts associated with air mobility systems and non-legacy air vehicles for both commercial and military activities.
• Support technical planning and integration of advanced aviation systems into existing and future civilian and military networks. Contribute to the development of land use compatibility strategies sitings and environmental review processes for air mobility and next generation aviation systems.
• Manage analyze and interpret large environmental datasets (e.g. radar flight tracks operations data) applying GIS and statistical techniques to generate actionable insights.
• Contribute to proposal development including scope definition pricing teaming and technical approaches.
• Represent HMMH in professional forums (panels conference paper/presentation articles etc.) and actively contribute to advancing the field.
• Other duties as assigned.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelors or Masters in a technical field such as engineering aviation physics environmental science mathematics or related discipline.
• 5 to 10 years of relevant experience including with AAM UAM UAS uncrewed vehicles non-legacy air vehicles or similar ideally in a consulting research or applied policy environment. A PhD may be substituted for a portion of years of experience.
• Experience with and understanding of acoustic modeling tools and methodologies including sound spheres preferably in the context of assessing environmental noise impacts.
• Proficiency with tools such as Advanced Acoustic Model AEDT NOISEMAP MRNMAP ANOPP or similar aircraft noise modeling software and a strong understanding of their application in noise/environmental studies relating to air mobility and next generation aviation systems.
• Strong technical writing and verbal communication skills with the ability to distill complex findings for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Collaborative mindset with the ability to contribute to and lead technical teams.
• Willingness and ability to travel occasionally (up to 25%) to attend client meetings conduct fieldwork participate in public workshops or present at conferences.
• Legally authorized to work in the United States for any employer without restriction.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with federal environmental compliance documentation including relevant DoD documentation (e.g. DoDI AFI AFH) and NEPA particularly those involving noise and vibration.
• Strong quantitative and analytical skills with proficiency in Python MATLAB Excel or similar tools.
• Experience managing technical tasks including planning scheduling and budgeting.
• Prior experience managing environmental data and developing custom tools for analysis and QA/QC.
• Active involvement in relevant industry associations or technical committees (e.g. AIAA SciTech AIAA Aeroacoustics InterNoise Forum Acusticum Acoustical Society of America).
• Proficiency in GIS for spatial data analysis visualization and mapping.
• Experience with federal contracting structures.
