Key responsibilities

  • Provide technical expertise in evaluating, assessing, and studying space mission proposals, costs, schedules, and risks.

  • Apply knowledge of space mission cost estimating and analysis using industry-standard tools and parametric models.

  • Support NASA's mission assessment processes remotely, with periodic travel for team workshops.

Job description

CTS seeks a Cost Analyst Subject Matter Expert to provide technical expertise to the Evaluations, Assessments, Studies, Services, and Support (EASSS) contract. This contract supports NASA Headquarters Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and facilitates NASA's pursuit of the most noteworthy approaches for missions, payloads, spacecraft, instruments, and research that help answer the big questions in Earth and Space science. Located at LaRC, the NASA's Science Office for Mission Assessments (SOMA) helps SMD select and manage missions, spacecraft, and instruments. To accomplish this, SOMA manages and provides oversight of evaluations, assessments, and studies for SMD and other NASA organizations. These include evaluation of proposals received in response to NASA Announcements of Opportunity, NASA Research Announcements, Cooperative Agreement Notices, and Broad Agency Announcements, as well as highly specialized studies and assessments, such as life cycle and independent cost estimates, schedule assessments, and risk analyses. CTS supports SOMA via the EASSS contract by providing subject matter experts who will apply their expertise to complex proposal evaluations, management and technical assessments, and advanced studies through the EASSS contract.
CTS's subject matter experts need not be local to the program office near NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA. We seek individuals who bring significant Technical, Management and Cost expertise in missions, payloads, spacecraft and instruments relevant to NASA's mission.

Estimating models can vary significantly in terms of data availability and automation. The knowledge of some of the following tools is greatly desired:
  • SEER (especially SEER-H)
  • Trueplanning
  • Project Cost Estimating Capability (PCEC)
  • NASA Air Force Cost Model (NAFCOM)
  • NASA Instrument Cost Model (NICM)
  • Technology Cost & Schedule Estimation (TCASE)
  • Schedule Management & Relationship Tool (SMART)
  • Phasing Model
  • One NASA Cost Engineering (ONCE) database
  • REDSTAR database
  • Polaris
  • Argo
  • Automated Cost Estimating Integrated Tools (ACEIT)
  • CO$TAT
  • Joint Analysis of Cost and Schedule (JACS)
  • PRICE cost models

Education: Must have a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics, Finance, Engineering, or other directly related field.
