What it’s like to work here...
You won’t be spending your summer in a vacuum running theoretical models or

historical data. You’ll dive into the archives of how we’ve priced and estimated
complex tactical systems in the past to help us build a smarter, more organized
future.

acumen to increase value across the enterprise by providing actionable

senior estimators can actually use.
* Bridge the gap between "raw data" and "business intelligence." If you enjoy
the satisfaction of taking a chaotic pile of information and creating a

role.

firsthand how data directly influences the competitive bids and strategic
decisions of a global defense leader.
* Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule.
* Establish and maintain effective working relationships within the department,
the Strategic Business Units, Strategic Capabilities Units and the Company.
Interact appropriately with others in order to maintain a positive and
productive work environment.
* Perform other duties as necessary.
On-Site Work Environment: This position requires regular in-person engagement by
working on-site three or more days each normally scheduled week in the primary
work location. Travel and local commute between company campuses and other
possible non-company locations may be required.
Working Conditions:
* Work is performed in an office, laboratory, production floor, or cleanroom,
outdoors or remote research environment.
* May occasionally work in production work centers where use of protective
equipment and gear is required.
* May access other facilities in various weather conditions.
Hourly Rate: $23.25 - $30.75

an agency recognized by the US Secretary of Education, US Department of
Education.

* Completion of college-level coursework focused on data management, database
fundamentals, or business analytics.

cleaning).
* A demonstrated ability to organize information logically and a keen eye for
detail.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EDUCATION
* Coursework that blends technical data skills with business application (e.g.,

basic SQL knowledge.

categorize large amounts of information or improve a manual process.
* Ability to explain why a certain data structure was chosen, rather than just
how it was built.
