About The Position

The Predictive Analytics and Cost Engineering (PACE) team is a data science team that combines technical engineering attributes and financial information to create data-driven cost estimates for program capture and support. The PACE team collects, normalizes and maps data to a standard work breakdown structure (WBS) to perform data analytics for internal and external customer support and deliverables. As part of the Finance and Business Operations (F&BO) organization, this team also works closely with Engineering and Technology (E&T), Strategy and Business Development (S&BD), Program/Proposal Management and Leads, Executive leadership and external customers. In particular, this position would be in support of managing our Historical Satellite Database, a centralized repository for space program cost/technical data normalized to a standard WBS. This includes managing day to day activities with data imports/exports from a wide range of data sources, troubleshooting, as well as leading capability enhancements. In addition, this position would be in support of significant programs/capture efforts across the lines of business (LOB). This may also involve proposal and/or data analytics and cost estimating tool development or enhancements. The role may include working on affordability analysis, life cycle cost developments, cost data analytics, forecasting cost and schedule, data collection and normalization, and design to cost. The candidate selected will be asked to analyze multiple data sets to build engineering models, synthesize results, perform decision analysis, and communicate findings with engineering colleagues and internal decision makers. Responsibilities In this position, you will: • Manage our Historical Satellite Database that informs our forecasting tools, techniques and methods • Be POC for architecture and development of our Strategic Missile Defense (SMD) line of business (LOB) data repository and support development of standard forecasting tools and dashboards • Be POC for our Human Space data repository and support development of standard forecasting tools and dashboards • Lead areas of data repository enhancements to build more efficiency and effectiveness into the utilization of data across PACE and other major functional organizations. • Create ETL pipelines that clean, transform, and aggregate unorganized data into databases or data sources that are ready for analysis. • Formulating functional and technical requirements from business problems • Coordinate with Engineering, Business Development, Program Finance, Estimating, Proposal Management, and ICE around cost estimates. • Present briefings to colleagues, senior staff, and executives. • Develop data-driven cost estimates for proposal efforts that are parametrically derived. • Normalize cost and technical data. • Become knowledgeable and responsible to answer questions around cost estimates and cost drivers.
