Responsibilities

Contribute to and actively participate in the conception, development, implementation, execution, and documentation of well-defined analytical questions and plans to provide decision insights to stakeholders on challenging and ambiguous infrastructure resilience problems of moderate complexity

Participate in and contribute to the development of analytical models, tools, and frameworks to characterize and assess key infrastructure resilience-related issues, such as infrastructure interdependencies, system-level impacts from natural hazards and intelligent adversary attacks, or risks and cost-benefit of various technology or operational solutions

Support team members in the development, evaluation, and application of physical and computational simulations to gain insight into moderately complex infrastructure systems

Utilize broad and comprehensive knowledge and leverage tools from established disciplines such as systems engineering, decision analysis, risk analysis, applied statistics and optimization, or other related fields to contribute to and actively participate in the development of innovative and creative methodologies

Collaborate and share relevant knowledge, analysis, and recommendations with scientists and researchers across a variety of technical disciplines, such as cybersecurity, physical security, natural hazards, and infrastructure systems

Balance multiple projects/tasks and priorities of customers and partners to ensure deadlines are met, while working independently with minimal direction within the scope of the assignment

Communicate moderately complex technical concepts to stakeholders in a concise and effective way

Routinely interact with technical contacts at sponsor and partner organizations

Perform other duties as assigned

Provide technical leadership and guidance to multiple diverse, technical teams of LLNL scientists and engineers to operationalize research and development advancements for LLNL national security programs, while executing projects and tasks and balancing priorities of customers and partners to ensure deadlines are met

Independently determine technical objectives and criteria to satisfy project deliverables and execute the appropriate technical approaches

Serve as the primary technical point of contact for program managers at sponsor and partner organizations by sharing relevant advanced level knowledge, providing opinions and recommendations on methodologies, and exerting influence as needed to fulfill deliverables and best meet sponsor needs
