The Strategic Systems Analysis Group (SSAG) supports government and private sector strategic planning, decision making, and program management. SSAG integrates deep client knowledge, advanced analytics, and subject matter expertise to provide timely and objective technical, operational, programmatic, acquisition, and policy analysis. SSAG is hiring for a full-time Technical Program Analyst at HQ USSTRATCOM, Offutt AFB, NE.

The Technical Program Analyst serves as the primary technical lead for planning, executing, and evaluating test, demonstration, and experimentation activities supporting Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) modernization and strategic deterrence missions. In this role, the coordinator develops comprehensive test concepts, experiment designs, and execution frameworks that enable robust assessment of prototype capabilities, cyber‑resilient communication pathways, and multi‑domain transport mechanisms across operationally relevant environments.

The coordinator leads cross‑functional planning with United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), Combatant Commands, Department of War organizations, and engineering and analytical teams to ensure test objectives remain aligned with modernization priorities and system‑of‑systems integration requirements.

The TPA oversees field preparation and on‑site execution activities, including instrumentation setup, data‑collection configuration, scenario development, prototype integration, and real‑time troubleshooting during test events. The role ensures that all data gathered during experiments meet analytical and modeling requirements and directly support validation of system performance, resilience, and mission relevance. The coordinator synthesizes test outcomes into high‑quality technical reports, experiment summaries, risk assessments, and senior leader decision‑support briefings, clearly linking findings to mission‑level impacts and modernization decisions.

As a senior TPA, the analyst represents test and experimentation activities in stakeholder engagements, working groups, and technical exchanges, ensuring alignment of activities across the enterprise. The coordinator also mentors junior analysts and field support team members, strengthening SSAG’s experimentation capability by contributing to the development of repeatable test frameworks, standard operating procedures, and best practices for continuous improvement.
