Strategic Analysis, Inc. seeks a technical expert in advanced electronics, autonomy, electronic warfare, and/or sensors & processing technologies to provide broad knowledge and expertise in support of DoD S&T roadmap development, maintenance, update, and evaluation; articulate the capabilities, accomplishments, and investment of S&T; identify and provide recommendations to bridge technology gaps; and develop performance metrics and lessons learned.
The Principal Scientist/Engineer will support the Reliance 21 initiative managed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The goal of Reliance 21 is to ensure that the DoD S&T community provides solutions and advice to DoD’s senior-level decision makers, warfighters, Congress, and other stakeholders in the most effective and efficient manner possible to meet joint warfighting needs. This is achieved through an infrastructure and ecosystem of technical coordination groups, known as Communities of Interest (COIs), that enable information sharing, alignment of efforts, coordination of priorities, and support for scientists and engineers across DoD’s S&T enterprise.
Work Location: Hybrid - On-site work with our government clients in the Mark Center of Alexandria, VA is required and estimated to be one (1) day per month. Candidates must be local to the Washington, DC area.
Travel: Occasional travel may be required.
As a Principal Scientist/Engineer, you will:
• Assist in developing, shaping, and coordinating comprehensive COI roadmaps and requisite investments that capture the opportunity, activity, and impact of S&T investments for their respective domains.
• Outline major operational/capability needs or systems performance requirements, and portray current posture and future strategic vision.
• Support portfolio reviews to frame DoD’s S&T leadership discussions regarding investment priorities, the current state of technology, and future directions that consider: 1) Reliance 21 Coordination and Governance; 2) S&T Research; 3) Experimentation and Transition; 4) Program Planning, Analysis, Requirements, and Reviews; 5) Modeling and Tool Development; 6) Innovative Research and Outreach; and 7) Special Studies.
• Provided technical leadership, management oversight, policy guidance, and coordination for research and engineering programs, to include strategic recommendations on COI community structure, technical areas, and members.
• Provide objective and well-informed strategic insights that consider the role of crosscutting investment areas, and the investment space of the broader Federal, industrial, academic, and international communities.
• Develop periodic and ad hoc deliverables to include SECDEF briefings, COI roadmaps, COI taxonomy updates, cross-COI collaboration recommendations and technical exchange materials, industry briefings, and strategic research proposals.
• Assist with ad hoc requests from S&T and the COIs in answering inquiries from senior DoD leadership, Congress, and the White House.
• Assist R&E in the evaluation, execution, and administration of the ARAP Seedling and Project proposals and programs. Provide strategic insight and thought leadership to assess level of innovation, alignment to DoD need and National Defense Strategy priorities, cost realism, and transition potential.
• Assist in scoring and ranking of ARAP project proposals, and in the development of any requisite briefing materials for record.
• Provide strategic guidance and technical advice to COIs developing, refining, and/or evaluating ARAP Seedlings (expansion of basic research) and full ARAP Project proposals (leading potentially to the design and development of prototypes).
