ASRC Federal Advanced Research, LLC (AFAR) is seeking a Senior Logistics Analyst to support a potential contract with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Weather Service (NWS) in Norman, Oklahoma. The NWS operates a complex, interconnected enterprise of systems responsible for the collection, processing, and dissemination of weather data and forecast products. These systems range from field-deployed observation infrastructure (e.g., ASOS, radar networks, data buoys) to mission-critical processing platforms (e.g., AWIPS, MRMS) and enterprise-level data architectures. To meet evolving mission needs, enhance resilience, and leverage modern technology, the NWS requires expert, on-demand support to execute a multi-year strategy focused on cloud adoption, modernization of legacy systems, and seamless integration of new capabilities and research partner data streams.
