About the role

  • The C2BMC Chief Analyst leads all analytical activities for the Command, Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) enterprise.
  • This role is accountable for evaluating current and future C2BMC capabilities through modeling & simulation (M&S) and for tactical software performance data collection, processing, analysis, and reporting.
  • The analyst provides insight into threats, performance critical parameters, and technical performance failures, and drives corrective actions across the system lifecycle—from concept to fielded solution.
  • Guide technical planning, system integration, verification & validation, cost, risk, and supportability analyses throughout the entire system lifecycle (concept, design, development, test, installation, operation, maintenance)
  • Capture tactical software performance data, process it, and generate actionable analysis reports
  • Identify performance gaps, trends, and degradation patterns
  • Identify emerging threats and define performance parametric focus areas
  • Conduct TPM (Technical Performance Measures), SII (System Integration & Interoperability), and internal metric analyses of technical performance failures and issues
  • Participate in operational system testing, claim event testing, and experimental test analysis
  • Provide root cause analysis and recommendations for the test-to-field transition
  • Coordinate cross-functional analysis efforts and ensure alignment with program objectives
  • Oversee technical metric collection, trend analysis, and performance baseline tracking
  • Lead the implementation of corrective actions and improvement initiatives to enhance technical performance
  • Build strong relationships with customer technical staff; foster formal and informal communication channels
  • Identify analysis-related risks, develop mitigation strategies, and monitor risk status throughout the program

  • Applicants must have a current, active in-scope DoD-issued Secret security clearance at the time of application, which is required to start with the eligibility to be read on to an SCI/SAP security clearance
  • Previous successful technical leadership experience on a large software-intensive program
  • Detailed knowledge of the complete program life cycle, including requirements, design, hardware, firmware, component, product, and system integration and test, operations, and sustainment
  • Extensive experience managing performance metrics, system integration, and tracking requirements from concept through sustainment
  • Proficiency in operational testing, experimental analysis, and root cause evaluation matches system test and performance analysis needs
  • Strong focus on TPM, trade studies, and stakeholder engagement reflects leadership and systems engineering experience
  • Direct technical planning, system integration, verification, validation, and risk/supportability analyses across the entire system lifecycle align with C2BMC requirements
