The Army Strategic Infrastructure Department (N214), is responsible for 50+ staff-years of technical and domain-specific work focused on the Enterprise Network, Systems, Services and Sustainment. Our primary technical competencies include network engineering, cybersecurity, cloud, machine learning, artificial intelligence and data analytics. The work requires an understanding and comfort operating at senior-levels of the Army, including routine coordination and collaboration with Army Senior Leaders (3 and 4 Star General Officer and SES level). The majority of the department’s support is to the HQDA, Deputy Chief of Staff G-6, the Office of the Chief Information Officer, the Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems, the Network Engineering Technology Command and the Army Materiel Command.

If you are a talented and motivated early career Data Analyst looking to put your skills to use in a challenging environment that includes supporting military tactical operations and military intelligence, then this is the opportunity for you!  MITRE’s Army Division has an opening for a recent graduate in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Operations Research, or similar degree programs to continue the growth of our data analytics group in support of a diverse set of Army sponsors.  The work includes engaging with sponsors to scope and prioritize tasks, collecting large datasets to perform data-driven analyses, conducting market research, investigating relevant policies and regulations, understanding the current budgetary and political environment, and performing additional research and analysis as necessary.  The data analyst role involves consolidating multiple sources of information into the most substantial findings and presenting those conclusions to sponsors, often as written reports and in-person briefings.

This position supports other department capabilities in cost, economic, business analyses, and business intelligence as needed.  That work could include models and simulations analyses, experimentation analysis, tradeoff and affordability analyses, decision analyses, portfolio investment analysis, and business case analysis.
