Job Description

(U) Analyzes system requirements and concept of operations documents,
acquisition plans, and system descriptions to develop evaluation and test
plans and procedures, prepare for and conduct the data collection and
analysis, and report status and results. Supports the development of
Government test and evaluation documentation e.g., Test & Evaluation
(T&E) Strategy, Test & Evaluation Master Plan, Event Test Plans, Test
Readiness Assessments, and T&E Reports. Works with other test
organizations to support T&E program integration. Provides specialized
T&E capabilities tailored to system functions, level, maturity, and
performance area as assigned in the SOW.

6. (U) Specify, validate, and adapt Modeling and Simulation for T&E use.
7. (U) Apply Statistical Analysis of variations in performance behavior to characterize confidence in performance estimates.
8. (U) Select, develop, & use analysis tools.
9. (U) Execute the evaluation plan on data collected by the Testing Tasks.
10. (U) Plan and Execute Performance Data Collection.
11. (U) Plan program and event level testing for collection of data required for analysis and to synch T&E events with supported decision points.
12. (U) Establish and employ Data & Configuration Management capabilities.
13. (U) Support Data Authentication group functions; and comply with program Discrepancy Reporting criteria and processes.
14. (U) Assess operational and system performance requirements for testability and criticality to frame and prioritize T&E objectives and enable evaluation planning.
15. (U) Coordinate with program Systems Engineering (SE) and review T&E-related SE information to leverage functional analysis, system descriptions, parameter selection and dependencies, Modeling and Simulation, and initial performance risk assessments to inform evaluation planning.
16. (U) Assess operational environments and priorities for evaluation attention and scenario selection, and to coordinate user participation in T&E.
17. (U) Plan program and event level risk-tailored performance estimation and analysis of system and operational Effectiveness and Suitability metrics & conditions; levels of T&E include inspection, demonstration, paper analysis, survey, simulation, and physical test.
18. (U) Design surveys for evaluation of Subject Matter Expert (SME) input and user assessments of performance.
19. (U) Participate in the T&E Working-level Integrated Product Team (WIPT) and/or Integrated Test Team for coordination of evaluation plans.
20. (U) Produce Evaluation Plans (metric framework, scenarios/threads, timelines, requirements/T&E cross-walk), Analysis Plans, Data Requirements, Risk Assessments, Evaluation Reports, Status reports; provide input to Government T&E products (e.g., Technology Readiness Assessments, Test & Evaluation Strategy, Test & Evaluation Master Plan, T&E Plans & Procedures and Test Readiness Reports).
21. (U) Design data sampling schemes to optimize the information/resource balance and to control testing uncertainties.
22. (U) Select, coordinate, and calibrate Instrumentation, collection and data management tools, targets, & facilities.
23. (U) Ensure test readiness including training of test event participants re conduct of the event; equipment readiness, and security, legal, and privacy compliance arrangements.
24. (U) Participate in T&E WIPT and/or Integrated Test Team for coordination of data collection plans.
25. (U) Execute Testing and Data Collection per plan.
26. (U) Produce associated Test Plans, Procedures, and Reports/Briefings, Data Management Plan.
