KBR is seeking an experienced Cost & Earned Value Analyst to support advanced weapon system acquisition programs within the U.S. Air Force Armament Directorate at Eglin AFB, FL. The selected candidate will work alongside Government program teams to evaluate program cost, schedule, and performance and develop analytical products that support acquisition planning and program execution.
Early, mid-, and senior-career professionals with experience in Government or Defense Industry cost estimating, Earned Value Management (EVM), program controls, or a related financial or analytical discipline will be considered. Candidates may bring deeper expertise in either cost estimating or EVM; experience across both areas is highly desirable but not required. The successful candidate will be comfortable working with large and complex data sets, investigating performance trends, and translating quantitative analysis into information that Government leaders can use to make informed decisions.
Key Responsibilities
Perform cost, schedule, and program performance analysis in support of advanced weapon system acquisition programs.
Develop and update program cost estimates spanning development, production, fielding, sustainment, and other applicable phases of the weapon system lifecycle.
Build defensible estimating methodologies using historical data, technical characteristics, program assumptions, schedule information, risk analysis, and other relevant cost drivers.
Proactively develop an understanding of the weapon systems, acquisition strategies, technical considerations, and program risks underlying cost and schedule performance to provide informed analysis beyond basic data reporting.
Gather and analyze information from Government, contractor, and historical data sources and work with technical and program teams to understand the assumptions and drivers underlying program costs.
Apply quantitative techniques such as regression analysis, cost estimating relationships, learning and cost improvement curves, sensitivity analysis, probability distributions, and Monte Carlo simulation to characterize cost and schedule uncertainty.
Evaluate contractor cost and schedule performance information to identify trends, emerging risks, significant variances, and potential impacts to program execution.
Perform Earned Value Management analysis using measures such as Cost Performance Index (CPI), Schedule Performance Index (SPI), cost and schedule variances, and Estimate at Completion (EAC) projections.
Examine contractor program performance submissions, including IPMDAR data, for completeness, consistency, and emerging performance issues requiring further Government review.
Work directly with Government Cost Account Managers (GCAMs), program managers, engineers, schedulers, contracting personnel, financial managers, and other functional experts to investigate performance issues and understand the technical and programmatic factors driving cost and schedule results.
Participate in Integrated Baseline Reviews (IBRs), program reviews, cost estimate reviews, and other activities requiring detailed evaluation of program baselines, cost, schedule, and performance.
Use Microsoft Excel and other analytical tools to organize and analyze large data sets, develop cost models, identify relationships and trends, and produce repeatable analytical products.
Combine cost, budget, schedule, and performance information into dashboards, visualizations, and other management products using tools such as Microsoft Power BI or Tableau.
Prepare cost and EVM analyses, executive-level briefings, and supporting documentation for program leadership and external stakeholders.
Evaluate contractor and supplier cost, schedule, and programmatic information to support Government understanding of program affordability, performance, and execution risk.
Research historical programs, cost estimating techniques, EVM practices, acquisition guidance, and relevant data sources to resolve analytical questions and continuously improve program analysis.
Work Environment
