Typical Responsibilities/Tasks:
• Apply mathematical, scientific, engineering, and analytical methods to evaluate complex operational and organizational challenges.
• Analyze the effective use and allocation of personnel, funding, materials, equipment, and other resources to improve operational performance.
• Support strategic planning, forecasting, resource allocation, performance measurement, and scheduling activities.
• Gather, validate, organize, and analyze information from large and complex datasets to support data-driven decision-making.
• Select and apply appropriate analytical techniques, including simulation, linear and nonlinear programming, dynamic programming, queuing models, stochastic-process models, and analytic hierarchy processes.
• Develop mathematical and analytical models that represent complex systems, processes, operational environments, and resource relationships.
• Conduct modeling, simulation, and what-if analyses to evaluate how changes in resources, requirements, constraints, or operating conditions may affect system performance.
• Analyze supply chain, transportation, distribution, logistics, and operational processes to identify efficiencies, constraints, risks, and performance improvements.
• Develop and evaluate alternative courses of action to support planning, optimization, and resource management decisions.
• Establish and assess performance measures and analytical metrics to evaluate system effectiveness and operational outcomes.
• Interpret analytical results and translate complex findings into clear recommendations, reports, visualizations, and decision-support products for technical and program leadership.
