Job Duties and Responsibilities:

• Formulate and apply mathematical modeling, simulation, statistical design, and other optimizing methods using various software packages that have direct application to the T&E of IT/NSS.
• Act as an expert in the application of Design of Experiment (DoE) Science Test Design (SBTD) to T&E disciplines to provide valuable tactical, operational, and strategic information to key program stakeholders, senior leaders, and decision-makers of the SUT.
• Routinely meet with customer command group technical teams and other senior management to help ensure that their DoD customer testing programs/projects have testing methodologies that integrate various SBTD procedures and processes, including DoE, various operations research techniques, and statistical rigor designed for IT testing, and regression techniques.
• Incorporate various DoE SBTD techniques and other statistical and analytical methods into C5ISR, AIS, and IT/NSS Test and Evaluation Master Plans (TEMPs) and other various test-planning documents.
• Provide analysis and interpret SBTD results to the overall system operational effectiveness and operational suitability.
• Identify, develop, and analyze technical and operational metrics to quantify the effectiveness of operations to support the objectives and effects outlined in the T&E plan, including task and effects assessments.

• Formulate mathematical and/or simulation models of test problems in support of T&E of C5ISR, AIS, and IT/NSS, relating test constants and variables, restrictions, alternatives, constraints, assumptions, conflicting objectives, and numerical parameters.
• Integrate system T&E information from various sources for efficient multi-stage design, statistical modeling, and, as applicable, analyses including incorporation of applicable statistical confidence intervals and sample sizing into test methodologies.
• Analyze discrepancies in T&E service or performance and make recommendations for test conduct updates.
• Produce clear and concise data analysis and conduct trend analyses of various data.
• Compile reports, charts, and tables based on established statistical methods.
• Assist test teams in the conduct of SUT, test planning, data collection analysis and reporting efforts for all test events.
• Use appropriate system documentation to perform requirements analysis and ensure sufficient information is known about any new capabilities or SUT.
• Assist test teams with successful planning of integrated Operational Test (OT) events, including updating and developing a Data Source Matrix (DSM) for each T&E event, developing a formal SUT Risk Assessment (RA), preparing and providing a SUT Test Concept Brief (TCB), creating and delivering a SUT Test Plan, creating T&E event Test Readiness Review (TRR) slides, and compiling SUT Operational Evaluation Framework (DEF).

Supervisory Duties:

• Provide input to staff involved in writing and updating technical documentation.
