Responsibilities

Are you a curious, driven analyst or software engineer excited by the challenge of harnessing the power of data science, simulation and operations research to optimize the Intelligence Community (IC) to get GEOINT data more efficiently to the users who need it most? As a member of PERATON's dynamic Performance Engineering and Analysis team, you will use your technical and analytic skills to identify trends and patterns using the team's data-rich ecosystem of GEOINT collection & performance metadata spanning over 60 IC systems.

Our team is a recognized IC leader with decades of expertise in providing customers with data-driven analysis shaping the architectures of the future. You will use your expertise in analytics, visualization, and programming to develop innovative solutions providing mission "ground truth", immersive trades, and strategic direction to our diverse set of clients. Come join our team in exciting analysis crossing agency boundaries and providing solutions which address the exponential growth in GEOINT data in the context of modernizing space/ground infrastructure, content, CONOPS, services, and cloud-enabled tools and applications!

Duties include:

• The candidate will perform a critical role by enabling the Modeling & Analysis (M&A) team to create and enhance a vital M&A GEOINT performance ecosystem of dashboards, simulations, and analytics to visually portray architectures and system performance that directly informs Major Program Events and activities (i.e., SRR, MS-B, ICBD, Cost Estimation), Customers' strategies and overall vision for the future of GEOINT.
• The candidate will develop/enhance complex data models, apply machine learning, lead trade studies, identify trends and patterns in Big Data to provide predictive analytics and help shape policies and strategies driving cost efficiencies and faster delivery to intelligence community.
• The candidate will work with large (billion record) data sets containing categorical, temporal, and geospatial features to develop and execute models, using statistical analysis/programming languages, to support design and performance trades and model new capabilities to deliver predictions, assessments, and recommendations to enhance NSG architectures in hybrid (cloud and datacenter) environments.
• The candidate will have the opportunity to understand end-to-end data instrumentation, flow, CONOPS, and performance. Collaborate across the team's data scientists/engineers/analysts on optimum data processing organization and techniques, to maintain dashboards and data, and to ensure accuracy of information and functionality.
