• Develop data collection tools (including surveys, checklists, and after-action interview questions) in support of test events
• Analyze integrated architectures against concepts of operations and employment to identify critical issues on which to focus data collection activities
• Conduct post-test data analysis and develop final reports following test events
• Track information gained/data collected in the field and at test venues, used for validating requirements, and ultimately resolving Critical Operational Issues (COIs)
• Make recommendations on the adequacy of the data collected and the statistical significance of test results
• Apply statistical methods to data collection and test results to determine mathematical confidence levels
Responsibilities:
• Provide daily T&E support to Program Manager, Project Lead, T&E Working Integrated Project Team, and client staff members from both on and off client site
• Plan and implement data collection methodologies based on analysis of operational requirement sets
• Develop comprehensive electronic data repositories linking collected data to test goals
• Apply Design-of-Experiments and statistical data collection methodologies, in support of Mission-Based Testing methods
• Develop structured user surveys using electronic/online tools
• Track T&E results-to-requirements following operational testing (e.g. RVTM)
• Analyze test results
• Develop charts/graphs that illustrate test results
• Provide administrative support for other tasks as assigned
Education & Credentials: A bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Statistics, Mathematics or a related field is required. A master’s degree is desired. Completion of the Navy’s Operational Test Director Course or an equivalent government course is required. Certified Test and Evaluation Professional, Project Management Professional or DAWIA T&E certification is desired.
General Skills and Experience: Must have at least six years of professional experience in test and evaluation of military or government systems. Must exhibit a high degree of initiative and critical thinking skills in order to manage multiple priorities simultaneously in a fast-paced, deadline-driven, detail-oriented work environment. Must possess strong analytical, oral and written communication, and interpersonal skills. Be organized and detail-oriented with the ability to develop electronic data forms and surveys based on written operational requirements. Strong Microsoft Access, Excel, Word, and PowerPoint skills are a must.
Citizenship and Security Clearance Requirements: Applicants must have a US citizenship. Successful applicants will need to successfully complete a background investigation (BI) prior to beginning work. Nothing in applicant’s history should prevent them from obtaining a security clearance. Persons with an existing security clearance are preferred.
Location: Telework and Norfolk, VA. Some travel to test events is expected (less than 20%).
Availability: This is a contingent, full-time position.
Salary: Negotiable.
