Job Description - Cost Analyst
Overview
The Cost Analyst will support CPE Aviation in providing rigorous cost analysis to a U.S. Army aviation customer. The analyst will deliver expertise in predicting, analyzing, and presenting cost data across procurement and sustainment activities for multiple aviation programs. Success in this role requires a strong foundation in cost‑estimating principles, the ability to clearly communicate methodologies and assumptions to non‑analysts, and demonstrated ability operating in a fast‑paced, high‑visibility environment alongside a blended government/contractor team in direct support of the warfighter.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop, update, and maintain Life Cycle Cost Estimates (LCCEs), Program Office Estimates (POEs), and Independent Government Cost Estimates (IGCEs).
- Utilize ACEIT and Microsoft Excel to build, review, and validate cost models and analytical products.
- Support Cost Review Boards (CRBs), evaluate contractor cost performance reports and Earned Value Management (EVM) data, and defend cost positions to leadership.
- Assist in developing and updating the Cost Analysis Requirements Document (CARD).
- Prepare and maintain detailed cost documentation for all cost products, ensuring traceability, auditability, and compliance with DoD standards.
- Present and defend cost‑estimating methodologies, assumptions, and results to senior leadership and CRB members.
- Translate technical system requirements into cost elements and develop Cost Estimating Relationships (CERs).
- Analyze historical learning curves, rate curves, and production data to inform estimating methodologies.
- Support development of Contractor Software Data Reporting (CSDR) plans.
- Contribute to Spend Plans and Program Objective Memorandums (POM), including funding profiles and cost requirements.
- Conduct cost‑benefit analyses for assigned programs.
Qualifications
Required
- Experience generating LCCEs, IGCEs, Business Case Analyses, and Economic Analyses for DoD or federal programs.
- Strong analytical background with experience developing cost or pricing volumes for government contracts.
- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel to support data analysis.
- Experience preparing detailed written reports and briefings suitable for senior military and corporate leadership.
- Knowledge of cost‑analysis concepts such as learning curves, CER development, normalization, overhead rate analysis, production rate analysis, fixed/variable cost structures, and inflation treatment.
- Familiarity with DoD and Army acquisition policies and life‑cycle management processes (e.g., DoDD 5000.01, DoDI 5000.02, DoDI 5000.73, AR 70‑1).
Preferred
- Experience using ACEIT 8.2 or other cost‑estimating software tools.
- Bachelor’s degree in a related field (e.g., Accounting, Finance, Economics, Engineering, Business, Mathematics).
- Experience supporting a U.S. Army Project Office, CPE Aviation, or other major defense acquisition program.
