- Track software-development updates and identify performance regressions following code changes.
- Analyze large datasets using established technical performance metrics and special-interest measurements.
- Evaluate system timing, track quality, discrimination accuracy, and other performance parameters.
- Conduct detailed analysis to identify technical trends, performance issues, and root causes.
- Translate analytical findings into concrete, actionable development tasks.
- Serve as a technical liaison between analysts and software developers.
- Create analysis documents, charts, technical briefings, and leadership presentations.
- Present performance findings to technical and nontechnical stakeholders.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Active DoD Secret clearance.
- Three or more years of related software engineering, systems analysis, performance assessment, or technical-analysis experience.
- Applied software-engineering experience.
- Experience producing tools or analytical products used to assess a system or project.

- Experience developing analysis tools in Java or Python.
- Database-management, networking, or data-communications experience.
- Jenkins, HTCondor, GitLab, or comparable DevOps-tool experience.
- Statistical hypothesis testing and statistical-distribution analysis.
- Model validation, inferential statistics, and confidence-interval estimation.
- Experience interpreting goodness-of-fit tests.
- DoD information-systems engineering experience.
- Experience with servers, storage, virtual machines, system architecture, and networking.
