Data Scientist, Sustainment Modeling & Simulation

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes job description paragraphs. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have schedule: "Full Time Location: Huntsville, AL (Redstone Arsenal, AL) / On-Site". So schedule section can be included. Benefits? The posting mentions "We hire experts and have superb benefits." and "AVNIK is an Equal Opportunity Employer and offers a competitive salary/benefits package." But no specific benefits listed. The rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It says "superb benefits" and "competitive salary/benefits package" but not specific. Likely we should not include Benefits because no concrete benefits listed. Pay: "Salary commensurate with experience and education." That's vague, not specific. The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we should not include Pay section. Schedule: we have specific schedule: Full Time, On-Site. So include Schedule section. We need About the role: we can use the job description paragraph(s) before responsibilities. The posting includes "Job Description: AVNIK has an opportunity for a Data Scientist or Data Analyst to provide sustainment engineering analysis using USG Modeling & Simulation (M&S) tools for DEVCOM AvMC. BS+5Yrs of Experience or MS+3Yrs of Experience. At AVNIK, we're different! Quality of life is non-negotiable. We work smart and have a blast doing it. We hire experts and have superb benefits. As a member of our engineering team, you'll be challenged with conducting sustainment analysis for Army Aviation and Missile systems. You'll use your interpersonal skills to develop lasting relationships with internal and external organizations and stakeholders. Come thrive in a fast-paced environment while learning and growing in data science, modeling and simulation, and sustainment engineering. The candidate will join an engineering team supporting logistics, sustainment, and procurement analysis. The role requires identifying, researching, and analyzing data sources and databases to define and extract critical information for engineering analysis. The candidate will work directly with Government personnel at AvMC, clearly express ideas and concepts, and perform as part of multi-disciplinary teams, IPTs, and Working Groups." That's substantive. So we can put that in About the role section as

. Responsibilities: list bullet points after "Responsibilities". We have a list of responsibilities lines. We'll put each as

. Requirements: The posting has "Education & Citizenship Requirements:" and then details. Also "Required Skills". Also "Desired Skills". Also "Additional Requirements". We need to decide sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content. We have education and citizenship requirements: Bachelor's degree etc, US Citizen, clearance. That's likely Requirements or Qualifications. We also have Required Skills list. Desired Skills list. Additional Requirements (background investigation). We could combine Required Skills and Desired Skills into Skills section. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can have Requirements (education, citizenship, clearance), Qualifications (maybe experience?), Skills (required and desired). However we have to avoid duplication. Let's parse: Education & Citizenship Requirements: - Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college/university in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Operations Research, Engineering (Aerospace, Industrial, Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, etc.), Applied Mathematics, Physics, or related technical field is required and 5+ years of experience. - MS degree may substitute for 2 yrs of experience. - Additional relevant experience may substitute for the degree in accordance with the applicable contract labor category. - Advanced degree is a plus. - Candidate must be a US Citizen. Required Skills: - Advanced software development skills (e.g., Python) and experience with version control (Git) in a team environment - Experience working with databases using SQL queries - Familiarization with Statistical Methods, Analysis and theory (Linear Regression, Confidence Intervals, Probability Distributions) - Working knowledge of M&S theory (Discrete Event Simulation, Stochastic, Deterministic, Monte Carlo, Heuristic, etc.) - Advanced skills with MS Office (Excel, PowerPoint) - Ability to clean and parse large and complex data sets - Experience writing technical reports and developing customer briefings - Self-starter, independent worker, strong work ethic - Excellent communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills; ability to clearly communicate in discussions and written documents, and to deliver regular updates and feedback clearly and tactfully is essential. - Must hold an Interim SECRET clearance at start and be able to obtain and maintain a SECRET security clearance Desired Skills: - Experience applying NLP (natural language processing) (e.g., spaCy, named entity recognition) or LLM (large language model) applications to unstructured text - Working knowledge of ML (machine learning) methods (regression, classification, neural networks) using Python libraries such as scikit-learn, PyTorch, or TensorFlow - Experience fitting and validating probability distributions (Weibull, exponential, lognormal) to failure and maintenance data, including goodness-of-fit testing - Experience with optimization methods (linear or mixed-integer programming) applied to logistics or resource allocation problems - Familiarity with Army logistics and maintenance data systems (e.g., GCSS-Army, TAMMS-A, AESIP, LMP, Army Vantage, OSMIS) - Experience calculating sustainment metrics including operational availability (Ao), materiel availability (Am), NMC rates, and O&S cost - Experience with visualization tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) - Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) or cloud environments (Azure) - Experience using USG sustainment M&S tools - Experience working in classified or air-gapped computing environments Additional Requirements: - Ability to successfully complete Background Investigation to include: 50 State Criminal, Education, Employment, Credit and Driving Records Checks for continued employment. - Must be able to obtain a SECRET security clearance. - Possession of an INTERIM SECRET security clearance is required to begin employment; Ability to maintain a SECRET security clearance is required for continued employment; US Citizenship is Required. We see some duplication with clearance and citizenship. We need to decide sections. Potential approach: - About the role: the introductory paragraph(s) (job description). - Responsibilities: list of responsibilities. - Requirements: education, citizenship, clearance, background investigation (maybe combine). - Qualifications: maybe experience? But we already have experience in requirements. Could skip Qualifications if redundant. - Skills: required and desired skills combined. But we must not create thin sections. If we put Qualifications with little content, better to omit. We have schedule: Full Time, On-Site. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Schedule. Check if we have any content for Qualifications separate from Requirements: The posting mentions "BS+5Yrs of Experience or MS+3Yrs of Experience." That's experience requirement, could be part of Requirements. So we can omit Qualifications. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We'll not. We need to output only HTML fragment. Structure:

About the role

... (the paragraph(s) )

Responsibilities

• ...
...

Requirements

... maybe combine education, citizenship, clearance, background investigation into a paragraph or list? The rule: Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. So if we have a list of requirements, we should use

  • . But we also have prose paragraphs. We can decide to use list for each distinct requirement item. We have multiple items: degree requirement, experience, citizenship, clearance, background investigation. Could be list. Thus:

    Requirements

    • Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college/university in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Operations Research, Engineering (Aerospace, Industrial, Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, etc.), Applied Mathematics, Physics, or related technical field is required and 5+ years of experience.
    • MS degree may substitute for 2 years of experience.
    • Additional relevant experience may substitute for the degree in accordance with the applicable contract labor category.
    • Advanced degree is a plus.
    • Candidate must be a US Citizen.
    • Must hold an Interim SECRET clearance at start and be able to obtain and maintain a SECRET security clearance.
    • Ability to successfully complete Background Investigation to include: 50 State Criminal, Education, Employment, Credit and Driving Records Checks for continued employment.
    But note that clearance appears also in Required Skills. We might duplicate. However we should preserve all substantive information; duplication is okay if it's in original. But we might want to avoid duplicate content. The Required Skills list includes clearance as a skill. We could keep it there under Skills. But we already have clearance in Requirements. To avoid duplication, maybe we keep clearance only under Skills (since it's a skill/requirement). However the instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we remove it from Requirements, we are not losing info because it's still present under Skills. That's okay. But we need to decide where to place clearance. It's listed under Required Skills. So better to keep it under Skills section. Then Requirements can focus on education, experience, citizenship, background investigation. Thus Requirements list: - Bachelor’s degree ... and 5+ years of experience. - MS degree may substitute for 2 years of experience. - Additional relevant experience may substitute for the degree ... - Advanced degree is a plus. - Candidate must be a US Citizen. - Ability to successfully complete Background Investigation to include: 50 State Criminal, Education, Employment, Credit and Driving Records Checks for continued employment. Now Skills section: include Required Skills and Desired Skills. Could be two sublists? But we just need a list; we can combine all items into one list, but maybe separate headings? Not allowed; only headings are the predefined ones. So we can just make one
    with all skills (both required and desired). That's okay. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "Self-starter, independent worker, strong work ethic" etc. That's fine. Now Schedule section:

    Schedule

    Full Time, On-Site (Huntsville, AL / Redstone Arsenal, AL)

    Now we need to ensure we didn't include Benefits or Pay. Now we need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft the About the role paragraph: combine the job description sentences into a coherent paragraph. We'll keep all details. Job Description text: "AVNIK has an opportunity for a Data Scientist or Data Analyst to provide sustainment engineering analysis using USG Modeling & Simulation (M&S) tools for DEVCOM AvMC.
