Apply tools such as but not limited to: Risk Management, Configuration Management, Data Management, Trade-off Analysis/Trade Studies, Technical Performance Measurement, Technical Reviews, Modeling and Simulation or Earned Value Management. Essential functions Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these essential functions. Serves as the expert technical authority for DoD and AFGSC Data Modernization and Analytical Integration and provides technical guidance, advisory support, and assistance on an entire project and/or major phases for broad and varied operations. Performs studies of large-scale complex projects, modifying/adapting techniques to fit situations, some requiring innovative approaches. Utilizes scientific inquiry in the independent development of mathematical models and computer programs to evaluate and predict the ability to support assigned projects, studies, or problems. Conducts and coordinates research, analyzes resource data, and facilitates the technology transfer of analytical results and investigations. Research and development of project management for statistical data analytics to evaluate, design and develop analytical procedures and processes. Analyzes actual and predictable, interacting, operational activities of a military, governmental, or business system to obtain a quantitative, rational basis for decision-making through the application of logic and scientific or economic disciplines and techniques. Assists in planning, scheduling, and coordinating selected analytical process phases or in working any selection of subcomponents of the exercise/gaming activity. Applies technical expertise and has full knowledge of other related disciplines. Possesses specific knowledge of analytical models, simulations and gaming tools. Devises modeling and measuring techniques; utilizes mathematics, statistical methods, engineering methods, operational mathematics techniques (linear programming, game theory, probability theory, symbolic language, etc.) and other principles and laws of scientific and economic disciplines. Develops technical solutions to complex problems that require the regular use of ingenuity and creativity. Performs studies of large-scale complex projects, modifying/adapting techniques to fit situations, some requiring innovative approaches. Work is performed with appreciable direction but exercises considerable latitude in determining technical objectives of assignment.
