Air Force Research Labs Work Values

Daily Duties at Air Force Research Labs:

- Performed research in orbital mechanics for a novel method of identifying mixed satellite orbital data. - Created semi-automated Matlab tools for processing raw orbital observation data and determining satellite orbits. Matlab tools were validated with actual orbit data. Tools included functions to perform batch-processed orbit determination and high-accuracy Earth Centered Inertial to Earth Centered Fixed conversions using Earth Orientation Parameters. - Used Satellite Tool Kit extensively to produce high fidelity range, azimuth, and elevation values for initial Matlab code assessment. - Applied a Kalman filter to a visual pose estimation software to add a priori information.

What they like about Air Force Research Labs:

Working for a company with an emphasis on social values and helping society is a clear and important priority for you - a critical factor in who you choose to work for. In contrast to other factors, you place an organization's reputation for fairness and concern for the community above most other aspects of the company. As you search for a new job opportunity, it is usually possible to find out if the company is involved in the community and/or if it is addressing problems and issues in society. Pay special attention to non-profit organizations and those specifically involved in social action. Moreover, speaking with current and former employees should enlighten you to perceptions of the fairness of the company's leaders and the treatment of employees.
