Strategic Operations Research Analyst Associate - Early Career

Uses advanced techniques for researching, developing, integrating and deploying advanced modeling, data analytics, simulation and analysis (MS&A) methods and toolsets to quantify the impact of operational concepts, AI/ML algorithms, vehicle design, payloads, and tactics across multiple missions and domains. Applies critical thinking and scientific methods to mathematics, statistical approaches, engineering practices, operational mathematics techniques, and data science to evaluate system capabilities.

Provides classified complex modeling, data analysis and quantitative & qualitative reasoning to inform decisions across areas in the Joint All-Domain Operations spectrum. Evaluates current and future adversary threat systems and environments, using the same techniques, to understand operational impacts and provide analysis. Translates customer questions into meaningful studies and develops advanced MS&A methods to enable analysis supporting requirements definition, system of system evaluation, interoperability in joint environments and utility assessments of advanced technology and concepts.
