Position Summary Under limited supervision, works with technical personnel and
project managers in the planning and execution of technical activities on
complex projects related to system and technical product development. Develops
and applies fundamental mathematics, mathematical or statistical theory to
collect, organize, interpret and summarize numerical data to provide usable
information, solve or direct solutions to a wide range of problems. Duties
and Responsibilities Applies mathematical theories and statistical methods to
the solution of practical problems. Analyzes and interprets statistical data
in order to identify significant differences in relationships among sources of
information. Performs computations, applies methods of numerical analysis and
sampling techniques or utilizes complete enumeration bases to data. Develops
mathematical or statistical models of phenomena to be used for analysis or
computational simulation. Assembles sets of assumptions, explores the
consequences of each set and addresses the relationships of quantities,
magnitudes, and forms through the use of numbers and symbols. Designs complex
research projects that apply valid scientific techniques and utilize
information obtained from baselines or historical data in order to structure
analyses to determine limitations in terms of reliability or usability and any
factors that could affect the results. Plans data collection for projects and
determines the types/sizes of sample groups to use. Develops and tests
experimental designs, sampling techniques, and analytical methods. Prepares
data for processing by organizing information, checking for inaccuracies and
adjusting and weighting the raw data. Processes large amounts of data for
statistical modeling and graphic analysis. Reports results of statistical
analyses in the form of graphs, charts, and tables. Provides guidance to less
experienced Mathematicians. Education and Experience Bachelor¿s degree in
Mathematics, Statistics or in area of specialty plus 5 to 7 years relevant
work experience. Master¿s degree preferred. In some cases, educational
requirements may be adjusted or waived for more than 10 years applicable work
experience. Work experience may be adjusted for highly specialized knowledge
or uniquely applicable experience for positions involving new technology or
labor market shortages as reflected by market survey data. Knowledge, Skills
and Experience Strong analytical skills and attention to detail. Excellent
communication, presentation and interpersonal skills. Proficient in Microsoft
Office including Word, Excel and PowerPoint. JITC & ATEC experience preferred.
Applicant must hold at least a secret clearance and be eligible to obtain a TS
clearance after employment.
