About The Position

LMI seeks a Tactical Sports Scientist II to support the U.S. Army’s Holistic Health & Fitness (H2F) initiative as a member of the Analytics functional team within the H2F Program Support Team. The Tactical Sports Scientist II supports the applied analysis and interpretation of human performance, workload, and recovery data to inform readiness assessment and injury-risk awareness within the Holistic Health and Fitness Management System (H2FMS). This role focuses on execution and analytic support, not training delivery, coaching, or independent scientific strategy development. The Tactical Sports Scientist II works closely with epidemiologists, data engineers, AI/ML engineers, research psychologists, and software teams to ensure that performance-related data are accurately interpreted and integrated into analytics, dashboards, and decision-support products delivered through the Government-managed H2F application. LMI is a new breed of digital solutions provider dedicated to accelerating government impact with innovation and speed. Investing in technology and prototypes ahead of need, LMI brings commercial-grade platforms and mission-ready AI to federal agencies at commercial speed. Leveraging our mission-ready technology and solutions, proven expertise in federal deployment, and strategic relationships, we enhance outcomes for the government, efficiently and effectively.
