At MITRE, we are seeking a creative Operations Research Analyst, Statistician, or Data Scientist to join our Operations Research department. This role is an opportunity to be part of a large team of over 60 operations research professionals, including nearly 30 PhDs, who are dedicated to providing thought leadership on a variety of strategic and technical issues. Our team performs analyses that enable our sponsors to make more effective decisions, leads internal research and development activities to introduce new technical capabilities into the public sector, and serves as trusted third-party advisors to government sponsors on various technical topics. We apply our problem-solving skills to complex interdisciplinary problems that occur within or at the intersection of organizations, operations, and technology. In this position, you will apply advanced analytical and mathematical techniques to make difficult policy and acquisition decisions, maximizing operational effectiveness and efficiency while achieving the highest quality engineering solutions. You will present results in an intuitive and actionable manner that can be understood by all sponsor audiences, regardless of their technical expertise.

Our work supports sponsor projects across the defense and public sectors, including military logistics, radio-spectrum frequency management, healthcare delivery, cybersecurity analytics, fraud detection, satellite planning, homeland security, and civilian aviation. We utilize advanced analytic techniques such as longitudinal analysis, large-scale integer programming, metaheuristics, agent-based modeling, reinforcement learning, predictive modeling, mathematical modeling, forecasting, machine learning, optimization, statistics, probability modeling, Bayesian analysis, and various types of simulation to tackle the nation's toughest challenges. If you are passionate about project-based operations research work in the public interest, this is the right place for you.
