Job Summary

Analyze test event data, mission data, and post-mission logs to characterize system behavior and determine root causes of performance issues.
Assess end-to-end interactions among command and control systems, communications networks, sensors, and weapon systems to evaluate mission effectiveness and system integration performance.
Support developmental testing, operational testing, system integration events, simulations, and field exercises through data collection, analysis, and post-event assessments.
Perform data reduction, trend analysis, statistical analysis, and performance assessments to identify operational impacts and opportunities for system improvement.
Develop technical reports, analytical products, briefings, and decision-support materials for government customers, military stakeholders, and engineering teams.
Collaborate with software engineers, systems engineers, operators, testers, and government personnel to investigate system behavior and resolve technical issues.
Maintain analytical rigor while meeting critical deadlines in support of time-sensitive mission requirements.
