Affordability Risk Engineer

The Affordability Cost Modeler builds and executes comprehensive cost models that track expenses across development, production, and sustainment phases. You'll populate models with validated data from engineering, operations, and supply chain teams while applying statistical techniques to understand cost behavior and drivers. The role supports critical analyses like Design-to-Cost and lifecycle cost modeling, ensuring program teams have traceable, accurate cost information for affordability milestones. This position suits analytical professionals who excel with data, enjoy solving complex problems in aerospace and defense contexts, and can communicate technical findings clearly to internal stakeholders. You'll collaborate closely with affordability specialists and senior modelers to align cost strategies with program requirements in a structured, detail-oriented environment.
