RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES - Senior Cost Estimator / Analyst / SME | Aerospace & Defense Operation & Support (O&S) Legacy Cost Model Support and Independent Cost Estimates [AFCAA0010009]

Provide Operation & Support (O&S) Legacy Cost Model Support and Independent Cost Estimates at Air Force Cost Analysis Agency (AFCAA), Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. Legacy cost modeling in this context refers to programs at or beyond Initial Operating Capability plus five years. Federal law requires such programs to have Operation & Support (O&S) cost estimates for the life of the program, updated annually. Federal law further mandates sustainment reviews for these programs every five years, requiring independent cost estimates in support of those reviews. The annual legacy Operation & Support (O&S) cost estimates will serve as a starting point for other more detailed cost analyses such as independent cost estimates, trade studies, divestiture analysis, force structure analyses and comparisons to follow-on or new weapon systems etc. The model support effort will also incorporate new (non-legacy) cost estimates from other analysts into a single output file that will provide a long-term picture of Department of the Air Force (DAF) sustainment resource requirements.

Serve as senior technical authority for O&S cost estimating and modeling for ACAT I DAF/DOD aircraft and space programs; lead development of legacy Operation & Support (O&S) cost estimates and Independent Cost Estimates (ICEs), NACAs, and SCPs; define analytical approach, cost elements, methodologies, and data strategies; review and validate models, assumptions, escalation, and risk analyses; mentor junior estimators and ensure AFI 65-508 compliance; support reconciliations with Program Offices and OSW CAPE; prepare and brief results to AFCAA leadership, SAF/FMC, Congress, and GAO.
