Work will be performed onsite at the Pentagon or Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling.\nResponsibilities include:\nServe as a CWMD (and nuclear effects when required) modeler to model complex systems which include CBRN agent effects and attributes in different situations (i.e., varying weather, release mechanisms and parameters) overlaid over differing major combat operations (MCO) related operational environments\nExtracting data from CBRN-related modeling programs through post processing utilities to provide analysts user-friendly data tables and graphics to depict complexities such as toxicity effects over time, degradation of agent strength, and contaminated area coverage as a function of time\nDevelop and use batch programs that enable AF/A10SA to complete thousands of CBRN-related hazard runs (HPAC, VLSTRACK, HOTSPOT, etc.) without having to execute each run on a one-by-one basis\nUse computer modeling to support technical analysis to address questions that arise in the CWMD operations (non-proliferation, targeting, interdiction, strike, counter-air/space actions) arena of USAFE-AFAFRICA ability to survive and operate (ATSO), and CBRN defense technical domains\nUse computer modeling to support technical research and operational evaluations to assess, interpret, shape, and help advise AF/A10S, on behalf of AFIMSC and USAFE-AFAFRICA, regarding what operational and scientific testing results mean to operators (e.g., pilot, navigator, aircrew, loadmasters, maintainers, defenders).\n Required Education and Experience: Minimum of Bachelors and fourteen years of related experience, Masters and twelve years related experience, or doctorate and nine years related experience\nRequired Skills:\nSubject matter expert in computer programming for MCO-related modeling of CBRN materials (HPAC, VLSTRACK, HOTSPOT, etc.) and analyzing complex systems (Python, C++, Visual Basic, etc.)\n\nSpecialized expertise in providing modeling support for technical analysis of CBRN threats. Excellent oral and written communication skills\n\nProficiency with MS Office products\n\nDesired Experience/Skills:\nHistory of incorporating results of lab or field analysis of CBRN-related tests into modeling programs to support CBRN-related studies\n\nHistory of developing unique tools to assist analysts interpret and utilize raw data within analytical projects\n\nHistory of the manipulation of raw observational data and presenting an informed product. History of understanding observational data from various sources.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2981,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":9,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["CBRN Defense","Digital Government","Systems Integrators","Engineering Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-06T08:16:08Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.899,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-07T05:47:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/saic-cbrn-defense-data-scientist-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/saic-cbrn-defense-data-scientist-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-08T01:21:40Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2454,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2546,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":58788},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=58788"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsaic-cbrn-defense-data-scientist-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsaic-cbrn-defense-data-scientist-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsaic-cbrn-defense-data-scientist-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/saic-cbrn-defense-data-scientist-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsaic-cbrn-defense-data-scientist-2"}]}
