About The Position

KBR is seeking an Operations Research Analyst at the associate level to develop research objectives, set project priorities, determine study methods, and provide scientific conclusions and interpretations. The analyst evaluates actual and predicted activities within military, government, or business systems to support quantitative decision-making using scientific and economic disciplines and techniques. The role participates in planning, scheduling, and coordinating analytical process phases, and devises modeling and measurement techniques using mathematics, statistics, simulations, and operational research methods.
