Fielded Force Analyst

KBR, Inc.•Colorado Springs, CO

3d•$140,000 - $170,000•Onsite

About The Position

KBR is looking for a master of synthesis who can bridge the gap between complex astrodynamics, engineering studies, and strategic force design. Seeking a highly collaborative, analytical, and emotionally intelligent future design & integration analyst. In this role, you will serve as a critical translator: gathering complex analysis and studies from across the space enterprise, identifying operational gaps within the fielded force, and packaging them into highly digestible, actionable recommendations for senior USSF leaders. This role is not just about crunching data, but about building relationships, earning trust across diverse staffs, and influencing the future of the Space Force.

Requirements

Master of Science degree in operations research, data science, or related technical field
6-10 years’ experience
An active TS/SCI clearance
Exceptional emotional intelligence and maturity and active listening skills.
Proven ability to navigate complex bureaucratic environments, build consensus, and work collaboratively across joint, coalition, and commercial partner staffs.
Advanced proficiency in MS Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel); demonstrated ability to quickly learn and navigate specialized military analysis, modeling, or simulation systems, or the ability to build relationships with technical staff to translate analysis
Proven experience digesting massive volumes of scientific/military studies and distilling them into "Bottom Line Up Front" (BLUF) recommendations.

Nice To Haves

The "Translator" Mindset: You can sit in a room with PhD astrodynamicists, understand their data, and immediately pivot to write a 1-page executive summary for a 3-Star General.
Bureaucratic Diplomacy: You understand that getting the right data often requires building genuine relationships with action officers on other staffs, not just sending formal tasks.
Comfort with Ambiguity: You thrive when given a mountain of unstructured reports and are trusted to find the "so what" that impacts the joint warfighter.
Experience with the Warp Core and/or Envision platforms
Experience with Python

Responsibilities

Serve as the central hub for translating raw analytical data into operational reality.
Consume, digest, and synthesize massive volumes of analysis, technical studies, and integration projects.
Identify critical gaps between the fielded force (what we have now) and the programmed force (what is planned) across key USSF mission areas: SDA, PNT, MW/MT, SATCOM, C2, BM, OW, EW/ES, Cyber, Satellite Control, and MTI.
Proactively engage, collaborate with, and obtain documentation from diverse staffs, including HQ CFC, SWAC/SSDP, SSIO, HQ USSF S9, mission partners, and international allies.
Translate highly complex technical, astrodynamics, and modeling data into clear, concise briefing slides, decision memos, and recommendations for senior leadership.
