Management Analyst III (Contingent Upon Award)

About the Role

The Management Analyst III performs non‑routine analytical assignments involving substantial variety and complexity. These assignments typically represent portions of larger projects and require the analyst to adapt operational precedents that are not fully applicable to the specific task.

This position is located in Washington DC, Maryland or Virginia.

Responsibilities

• Perform non‑routine analytical or technical assignments requiring judgment and adaptation of established methods.
• Select, interpret, and apply operational precedents where they are not fully applicable to the assignment.
• Develop or review engineering‑related designs by extracting and analyzing a variety of technical data.
• Apply conventional engineering principles and practices to develop, prepare, or recommend schematics, designs, specifications, electrical drawings, and parts lists.
• Support design tasks such as:
  • Detailed circuit diagram development
  • Hardware fittings or test equipment design involving multiple mechanisms
  • Conventional piping system layouts
  • Building site or facility layout planning
• Conduct tests or experiments requiring adaptation or modification of critical test equipment and procedures.
