Formulates and applies mathematical modeling, simulation, statistical design, and other optimizing methods using various software packages (JMP, a family of statistical discovery products, is the current software tool of choice at JITC) that have direct application to the T&E of IT/NSS. Acts as an expert in the application of SBTD to T&E disciplines in order to provide valuable tactical, operational, and strategic information to senior leaders and decision-makers of the system. The resulting analysis and documented results often support resource allocation, optimal flow analysis of new technology into theater, and battlespace transition analysis. Will routinely meet with JITC’s Command Section Technical Advisor and his own Senior Management to help ensure that JITC testing programs/projects have testing methodologies that have been considered for integration of various SBTD procedures and processes including DoE, various operations research techniques, statistical rigor, the use of NIST’s ACTS software tool designed for IT testing, and regression techniques. Leads the incorporation of various SBTD techniques and DOE other statistical and analytical methods into C5ISR, AIS, and IT/NSS Test and Evaluation Master Plans and other various test-planning documents. Executes SBTD methodologies during various phases of T&E. Analyzes and interprets SBTD results with respect to the overall system operational effectiveness and operational suitability. Identifies, develops, and analyzes technical and operational metrics to quantify effectiveness of operations to support the objectives and effects outlined in the T&E plan, including task and effects assessments. Assists test teams during test planning, test execution, data analysis, and formal report development. Provides expertise for defining problems, developing the analysis plan, gathering and reviewing data, constructing the model(s), testing and evaluation, analyzing the results, developing insights, and documenting the results. Recommends and implements processes that support quantitative and qualitative analysis, as appropriate. Formulates mathematical and/or simulation models of test problems in support of T&E of C5ISR, AIS, and IT/NSS, relating test constants and variables, restrictions, alternatives, constraints, assumptions, conflicting objectives, and numerical parameters. Integrates system T&E information from various sources for efficient multi-stage design, statistical modeling, and, as applicable, analyses including incorporation of applicable statistical confidence intervals and sample sizing into test methodologies. Analyzes discrepancies in T&E service or performance and makes recommendation for test conduct updates. Produces clear and concise data analysis and conducts trend analyses of various data. Compiles reports, charts, and tables based on established statistical methods.
