Job description

Group and Job Profile Guidance:

The Joint Test & Evaluation (JT&E) program considers emerging technologies and the increasingly complex and dynamic joint, multi-domain operational environment to develop non-material solutions intended to enhance the United States’ operational effectiveness, suitability, and survivability in combat.

Primary Job Functions:

As a member of the Joint Test & Evaluation Support Cell (JTSC) this individual will support the programmatic evaluation and analysis of Combatant Command Test Nominations and subsequent approved execution.

• Conduct quantitative and qualitative analysis to support Joint Test & Evaluation (JT&E) projects and enhance operational decision-making.
• Apply statistical methods, modeling & simulation techniques, and operations research methodologies to assess joint military operations and improve mission effectiveness.
• Develop and implement data-driven solutions to optimize military operations, force readiness, and strategic planning.
• Utilize computer-based analytical tools to evaluate operational performance and identify areas for improvement.
• Identify risks, limitations, and operational challenges in joint military environments and recommend analytical solutions.
• Applying process modeling and analytical techniques to identify operational challenges and develop effective solutions.
• Conducting problem decomposition, concept development, and data-driven analysis to support joint military operations.
• Providing parametric and non‑parametric statistics, data analysis techniques, computer analysis tools, basic modeling and simulation applications, and survey test and evaluation methods.

Qualifications and Experience:

• Master's Degree in Operations Research, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, or a related technical field.
