About The Position

This position is contingent upon contract award. Evans is seeking a Journeyman Computer and Info Research Scientist to join one of their growing contracts supporting the U.S. Navy. We are seeking someone with technical expertise in data integration, analytics, and applied data science to support NAVAIR research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) programs. This role focuses on integrating cross-SYSCOM data assets, delivering real-time metrics visibility, developing advanced dashboards, and applying data science methodologies to identify technological trends, program performance patterns, and transition outcomes.

Requirements

Active DoD Secret clearance (or ability to obtain).
Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Data Science, IT, Engineering, or related field.
5–10 years of relevant experience in data analytics, research, or systems analysis (or equivalent combination of education and experience).
Expertise in data science and statistical methods to identify emerging technology trends, program execution patterns, and portfolio risks.
Demonstrated experience with Power BI or similar business intelligence tools.
Experience working with large, complex datasets and multiple data sources.
Knowledge of data science techniques, statistics, and analytical methodologies.
Familiarity with Phase III, technology transition, or innovation ecosystems (e.g., SBIR/STTR).
Experience with SQL, Python, R, or similar analytical/programming tools.
Understanding of data governance, cybersecurity, and DoD compliance requirements.

Nice To Haves

Experience supporting NAVAIR, SYSCOM, or DoD RDT&E programs is a plus.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain data integration pipelines that enable cross-SYSCOM data sharing and interoperability.
Collaborate with data owners and system engineers to ensure data governance, security, and compliance with DoD standards.
Develop and maintain Power BI dashboards to provide leadership with actionable insights, KPIs, and performance metrics.
Enable real-time or near–real-time metrics visibility for program execution, technology maturation, and funding alignment.
Design and implement Phase III transition tracking tools to monitor technology insertion, operational adoption, and program outcomes.
Analyze transition status, risks, timelines, and return-on-investment metrics to support decision-making across NAVAIR portfolios.
Apply data science methods (e.g., statistical analysis, trend analysis, pattern recognition) to identify, merging technology trends, program execution patterns, and funding-to-outcome relationships.
Develop predictive or exploratory models to support forecasting, portfolio alignment, and strategic planning efforts.
Research and assess new analytical approaches and tools relevant to Navy R&D and acquisition environments.
Work cross-functionally with government program managers, engineers, analysts, and contractors across NAVAIR and other SYSCOMs.
Prepare technical documentation, briefings, and executive-level summaries to communicate findings and recommendations.
