Data Scientist 

Data Scientist
Location: Lackland AFB, San Antonio, Texas

J OB SUMMARY:

The 91 COS has an operational requirement for the development, maintenance, and instruction of standardized cyber operations utilizing TNO platforms in support of Combatant Commanders on a global basis. The goal is to provide operations personnel with detailed training courses to enhance the MQT of crewmembers. The developed courseware will familiarize crew trainees with TNO operations using present and future platforms. Courseware depth will be relevant to crew responsibilities and will increase with each level of instruction. The 91 COS is tasked with multiple mission areas requiring analytical support. This analysis will require use of higher-level tools to obtain automation of network characterization and baseline trending for highly technical mission areas. This task also assists cyberspace operations special access program (SAP)-related efforts for planning requirements, community coordination, policy, and doctrine.

PRIMARY DUTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• CONEMP: This position will use statistical data, measures of performance (MOP) data, calibration, and operational preparation of the environment information to apply scientific rigor to determining measures of effectiveness (MOE) and platform efficiency. The data scientist will work closely with intelligence analysts, operators, and the telecommunication industry experts to help modify TTP. This position will work in the weapons and tactics flight (DOK).
• Develop methodologies to analyze data, perform network characterization, and brief results as needed in support of situational awareness and post-mission effectiveness assessments for operations, exercises, testing, and training.
• Provide network and target behavior insight to planners and operators for target status assessments and TTP employment.
• Assist the Government with identifying situational awareness and post-mission effectiveness assessment requirements and their priorities.
• Assist the Government in situational awareness and post-mission effectiveness solutions and implementation details.
• Document real-world engagement of cyber weapons effects along using the kinetic Munitions Effectiveness Manual methodologies.

• Provide OJT to other contractors, military, and/or civilian personnel, and maintain continuity folders/working aids to ensure efficient transition when personnel rotate.
• Assist the Government with identifying additional data points to collect to answer operational questions.
• Transform collected data into formats and values necessary for further advanced analysis.
• Write code using the Python programming language to prepare data for analysis by other systems and to generate insights using modern statistical and machine learning techniques.
• Assist the Government with articulating analytical findings using statistically rigorous methods and language.
