SPA has an immediate need for a highly qualified Predictive Modeling and Simulation Analyst who wants to be part of one of SPA's fastest growing Divisions with an exciting mission critical to national security objectives!
ResponsibilitiesSPA is seeking a Predictive Modeling & Simulation Analyst to work at the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).
Duties include:
Perform modeling, simulation, analysis and studies of end-to-end system capabilities to determine the ability of the NRO to effectively execute multiple missions.
Deliver end-to-end model-based system engineering and digital engineering systems and enterprise capabilities.
Coordinate, integrate, and execute technical system performance evaluation and product quality analysis activities, this includes predictive performance models (PPMs), collection quality models (CQMs), image equations (IQEs) and predictive track equations.
Conduct logical analysis of management problems and developing multivariate analysis, linear modeling, and data mining.
Use computer technology, computer modeling, spreadsheet applications, software tools, and programming languages to analyze data and conducts advanced statistical analyses and applies mathematical calculations.
Present findings and recommendations to appropriate groups and helps to determine what actionable steps can be taken based on the findings.
Communicate and train users on model results.
Prepare written, non-technical reports to management, indicating analytical finding and models to guide predictive analytics model development.
Interface with customer and helps define work process; estimate time frames, quality and quantity of resources required to successfully implement project; develops project plan incorporating all project variables; establish criteria concerning deliverability, performance, maintenance, design and costs.
Conduct periodic status checks with customers and team to assess progress against plan; perform re-forecasts of project variables as necessary throughout project and prepare routine status reports on all project activities; may be assigned responsibility for the management of the function, including associated staff.
