• Assist in identifying trends and patterns related to training exposure, readiness, and performance outcomes.
• Apply foundational sports science principles under senior scientific and Government direction.
• Support interpretation of data from wearable sensors and performance monitoring technologies (e.g., activity, workload, physiological indicators).
• Assist in evaluating data quality, consistency, and appropriate use of performance metrics.
• Coordinate with data engineers to support ingestion and integration of performance-related data into H2FMS.
• Assist data scientists and AI/ML engineers with preparation and validation of performance-related analytic inputs.
• Support review and testing of analytic outputs related to performance, workload, and recovery.
• Help translate applied sports science concepts into system requirements under Government direction.
• Collaborate with epidemiologists and research psychologists to support integrated analysis of injury, behavioral, and performance data.
• Coordinate with software and user engagement teams to ensure performance-related insights are accurately reflected in user-facing outputs.
• Support preparation of analytic summaries and briefing materials as directed.
• Contribute to documentation of analytic methods, assumptions, and limitations.

• Demonstrated experience supporting applied sports science or human performance analysis in military, tactical, athletic, or physically demanding environments.
• Foundational knowledge of exercise physiology, biomechanics, workload management, fatigue, and recovery concepts.
• Experience or exposure to performance monitoring tools or wearable technologies.
• Ability to collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams spanning analytics, research, and software.
• Strong analytical and communication skills.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance.
