SPA: Objective. Responsive. Trusted.

The SLA Analysis Group's mission is to deliver objective analyses, plans and strategies to US Navy, US Marine Corps, USAF, other DoD, and Australian Defence Force clients to support technology development, acquisition, delivery and sustainment decisions. The group provides the core of SPA thought leadership on Undersea Strategy, Software Development and Cost Estimating, with additional benchmark capabilities in AI/ML & Decision Analytics, Modeling and Simulation, and Future Force Assessments. SPA's Veracity Forecasting Portfolio, within the Sea Land and Air Analysis Group, supports unique processes that produce data-driven analyses and assist enterprise managers in making complicated decisions.

We offer our customers proven expertise in descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics; advanced mathematics and computational techniques (a.k.a. data science); and software engineering. Our mission is to help enterprise leaders make complex, fully informed decisions that increase effectiveness and save money in the process.

SPA has an near term need for a Data Scientist. This full-time in-person position is based outside of Reno, Nevada. #KS Responsibilities The position of Master Data Scientist III at the Naval Aviation Warfighting Development Center (NAWDC, parent Command of TOPGUN) is a unique opportunity to directly partner with experienced aircrew and other operators on the forefront as they develop advanced, envelope-pushing Naval Aviation training and tactics on a day-to-day basis.

Because of their unique skillset, while onsite, the Master Data Scientist III be an integral part of a team answering the question, "Will our tactics succeed?"; conducting analyses, creating models and solution prototypes, and designing experimental protocols to quantify results to directly participate in cutting edge development. This role has an opportunity to use data and quantitative analysis to make a demonstrable impact on Naval Aviation with the freedom to create projects based on both personal interest and customer need. The Master Data Scientist III will work in-person at NAWDC facilities in Fallon, NV collecting and handling a variety of data focused on carrier-based aircraft in the Navy's fleet to directly support NAWDC's mission and be present right there in the room as they execute both live-flight and simulator-based missions.

The Master Data Scientist III must demonstrate the following attributes: * Strong analytic curiosity, attention to detail, and the ability to work closely with and develop strong relationships with the client. * Ability to produce actionable results on tight timelines. * A self-starter with the initiative and inquisitiveness to deep dive potential projects, understand any unmet or unspoken customer needs, and create and deliver solutions.

* Ability to work closely with and direct the work of experts in scientific programming and mathematical modeling. * Excellent verbal and written communication skills. After the successful completion of this rotation on site, the Master Data Scientist III will be eligible to transfer to another SPA project team and location, if desired.

Qualifications Required Qualifications: * Master's Degree or PhD in Electrical/Electronic/Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Biology, Mathematics, or related hard sciences required * Desired experience of three years in a field requiring mastery of applied statistics or stochastic processes, ideally demonstrated by authorship of relevant technical reports, theses, or briefings * Current Top Secret Clearance with SCI eligibility and the ability to maintain it throughout employment * Ability to acquire and maintain additional clearances as needed throughout employment in this position Desired Qualifications: * Department of Defense and/or Department of Navy experience * Comfort with Python, R, or similar software that supports statistical computing
