Mr. Jason Carter

Jason started his technical career at age 17, with a six year enlistment in the United States Navy as a nuclear reactor operator. Two years were spent in the Navy’s nuclear training program, and four years were spent operating, maintaining, and testing a nuclear power/propulsion plant on the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, CVN-71. After honorably completing his enlistment in 1998, Jason pursued a degree in aerospace engineering. In 2002, he graduated from The University of Alabama in Huntsville with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, while simultaneously obtaining nearly three years of engineering work experience at Battelle Memorial Institute’s Huntsville Operations facility. After obtaining his degree, Jason continued his work with Battelle until 2009. He then made the move to The University of Alabama in Huntsville’s Rotorcraft Systems Engineering and Simulation Center. While at UAH, Jason worked on NASA flight hardware and U.S. Army flight hardware. Jason also managed project execution and coordinated flight test activities with the Army’s Aviation Flight Test Directorate (AFTD) for the UMARK system.
