Technical Analyst

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Technical / Engineering Analyst based in the United States.

• Review technical documentation: Examine engineering requirements, specifications, technical reports, test results, and contractor deliverables to assess completeness, consistency, technical accuracy, and compliance with established requirements.
• Evaluate proposed engineering changes: Review Requests for Deviation (RFDs) and Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), documenting their potential impact on system requirements, performance, cost, schedule, and overall program objectives.
• Support technical oversight: Assist Contracting Officer's Representatives and Technical Monitors in evaluating the technical aspects of contract performance and determining whether deliverables meet documented expectations.
• Analyze system performance and integration: Assess system-level performance, interfaces, integration challenges, and alternative technical solutions. Contribute to alternatives analyses and other engineering assessments to support informed program decisions.
• Identify and communicate engineering risks: Document technical concerns, evaluate their potential implications, and coordinate findings with program management, acquisition, risk management, and scheduling teams.
• Contribute to advanced engineering initiatives: Support the application of digital engineering, model-based systems engineering (MBSE), advanced analytics, and emerging engineering technologies under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Support AI and machine learning initiatives: Assist with evaluating and applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to system analysis and decision-making, using approved government tools and established procedures.
• Develop technical assessments and deliverables: Contribute to special studies, technical assessments, test plans, build guides, issue papers, engineering briefings, and other documentation required to support program execution.
• Track technical issues and corrective actions: Maintain clear records of technical questions, review comments, decisions, and corrective actions, following each item through resolution.
• Prepare recommendations and briefings: Translate complex technical findings into concise, evidence-based recommendations for government engineering personnel, program managers, and other stakeholders.
• Support technical collaboration: Prepare materials for technical exchanges, working groups, and industry engagement events, facilitating effective communication among engineering teams and program stakeholders.
• Maintain documentation quality and accessibility: Ensure deliverables are provided in PDF and editable formats, comply with Section 508 accessibility standards in coordination with the appropriate specialists, and incorporate government feedback within five business days.
• Maintain objectivity and compliance: Identify and document potential conflicts of interest before reviewing contractor engineering proposals, deviations, or other technical deliverables.
• Support government decision-making: Provide independent technical analysis and recommendations while respecting the boundaries of the role, which does not include inherently governmental responsibilities such as approving engineering changes or formally accepting deliverables.

• Education: Bachelor's degree in engineering, physical science, computer science, or a related technical discipline.
• Professional experience: At least five years of experience in systems engineering, technical analysis, systems integration, testing, or a closely related field.
• Technical documentation: Demonstrated experience reviewing and evaluating engineering requirements, technical specifications, test documentation, and deliverables for complex systems.
• Systems analysis: Ability to evaluate system performance, interfaces, integration challenges, technical alternatives, and engineering risks using structured analytical methods.
• Technical communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex engineering issues, program implications, and recommendations through clear reports and presentations.
• Analytical problem-solving: Strong critical-thinking skills, attention to detail, and the ability to assess technical evidence, identify inconsistencies, and develop practical recommendations.
• Stakeholder collaboration: Ability to work effectively with engineering teams, program managers, and government stakeholders.
