Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. is an industry leader in engineered systems and advanced manufacturing. The Company provides full-spectrum systems engineering, integration, manufacturing, and lifecycle sustainment solutions to the marine, aviation, aerospace, and defense, energy and environment markets. Teledyne Brown has expertise in systems integration, technology development, hardware design, prototype development, system test and evaluation, advanced manufacturing, performance-based logistics solutions, and operations and maintenance

Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) is hiring an Operations Research Analyst to provide expertise related to a wide range of problem sets in industrial engineering, operations research, systems engineering, data science, and analytics.

Position Responsibilities

The OR Analyst will apply knowledge and techniques from the fields of systems engineering, decision analysis, reliability engineering, and data analysis to support the design, development, and verification and validation of modeling and simulation software.

The OR Analyst will use knowledge of the fields of systems modeling, system simulation, mathematical optimization, and data science to conduct, direct and supervise analyses for the Naval Health Research Center and other organizations. The analyst will interface with customers and the software development team, develop and execute analysis plans, author technical reports and presentations, present results to customers and at professional conferences, directly support customers with onsite analysis and model development, and occasionally provide training or software support to external users.

Typical Duties

• Support studies to assess the medical supportability of specific tactical concepts of operation (usually by building simulation models of possible medical networks to support the operation and testing those networks against the casualty estimates of the operation).
• Support the development of linear programs or other optimization methods in various applications
• Support systems engineering tasks to design new analysis tool components, then interfacing with the software development team to ensure correct implementation of the design.
• Support literature-based research to inform modeling
• Conduct and support analysis of data sets to inform simulation model random processes
• Develop web-based data visualization dashboards (R Shiny) to communicate analysis to customers.
• Support the development system models in commercial simulation software packages (Simio) to asses staffing levels, equipment availability, and other aspects of medical treatment facility operations.

*This position requires the ability to obtain a DoD Security Clearance to the level of "Secret"*

Applicants must have a B.S. degree in Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, or a similar program and 2 years of work experience; or an MS degree.

Additional Requirements

The position may require approximately 10% travel. Must be able to perform tasks individually, as well as part of a team.

Candidates must possess:

• Strong written and verbal communications skills, including data visualization.
• A robust understanding of basic statistical theory and common applications relevant to simulation modeling.
