• Assist in developing and updating the Cost Analysis Requirements Document (CARD).
• Prepare and maintain detailed cost documentation for all cost products, ensuring traceability, auditability, and compliance with DoD standards.
• Present and defend cost-estimating methodologies, assumptions, and results to senior leadership and CRB members.
• Translate technical system requirements into cost elements and develop Cost Estimating Relationships (CERs).
• Analyze historical learning curves, rate curves, and production data to inform estimating methodologies.
• Support development of Contractor Software Data Reporting (CSDR) plans.
• Contribute to Spend Plans and Program Objective Memorandums (POM), including funding profiles and cost requirements.
• Conduct cost-benefit analyses for assigned programs.
