About The Position

As an operations analyst, you’re passionate about exploring the root cause of an issue and then analyzing, reporting, and developing recommendations for a creative solution. We need an experienced research analyst like you to help us solve complex problems for our clients. On our logistics modeling and simulation team, you’ll evaluate data assessment strategies such as sampling, statistical analysis, evaluation, and network analysis to deliver solutions. You won’t go at it alone, you’ll work alongside data scientists and logistics subject matter experts to conduct research, analyze, and interpret modeling results such as life cycle cost models and estimates, cost and benefit analyses, and what-if analyses. Once documented, you’ll develop program briefs and presentations to present results, collaborate with stakeholders, and participate in various program meetings to improve program efficiency. In this role, you’ll use your passion for analytics and statistics to devise modeling and measuring techniques utilizing mathematics, statistical methods, engineering methods, operational mathematics techniques such as linear programming, game theory, established statistical and machine-learning techniques, network analysis, discrete event simulations, and laws of scientific and economic disciplines. Use your operations research knowledge to develop technologies and concepts that advance logistics modeling and simulation. Join us. The world can’t wait.
