Associate Program Analyst: Fast-Track Your Career in Mission-Critical Systems!
Are you an aspiring analyst ready to learn from elite mentors and build a high-velocity career in defense acquisitions and data management? The 518th Software Engineering Squadron (518 SWES/MXDPA) is seeking a motivated Associate Management and Program Analyst to specialize in Configuration and Data Management.
Under the direct guidance of a Senior Analyst, this fast-track developmental position is designed to transition you from a talented professional into a high-level technical authority at the NH-03 target grade. You will receive world-class, hands-on training while directly supporting the Theater Battle Management Core System (TBMCS)-the sole command and control (C2) system used to plan and execute global air campaigns.
What You Will Accomplish:
As a developmental analyst on our team, your daily focus will be on mastering your craft and taking on progressively challenging analytical projects. You will:
- Fast-Track Your Analytical Mastery: Complete a structured, formal Training and Development Plan, tackling configuration and data management assignments that become increasingly complex and impactful as your skills advance.
- Learn from Senior Mentors: Work side-by-side with a Senior Analyst, receiving elite formal, informal, and hands-on, on-the-job training in advanced defense systems, acquisitions, and data control.
- Master Configuration & Data Management: Learn to control, track, and maintain the integrity of software, hardware, and systems engineering products supporting vital program acquisitions, modifications, and sustainment.
- Support the Joint Force Worldwide: Directly contribute to the TBMCS-the critical system relied upon daily by Air and Space Operations Centers (AOCs), Navy aircraft carriers, Marine Corps Air Wings, and North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) to build and publish the Air Battle Plan (ABP).
- Earn Non-Competitive Promotions: Move rapidly toward your target grade of NH-03 through a non-competitive promotion track, based on your demonstrated ability, training completion, and supervisory recommendation.
Launch Your Career on the Cutting Edge. Why settle for a routine entry-level analyst job when you can learn from the best while supporting the Department of War's most critical missions? This developmental program offers structured mentorship, a clear path to high-level analyst roles, and a direct way to support our warfighters.
If you are a driven analyst with a passion for organization, a desire to make a real-world impact, and the ambition to grow into a senior technical expert, I highly encourage you to apply. Join the team that secures the ultimate high ground.
