Notice of Result letters will not be sent to applicants who respond to this flyer. You will develop and implement a continuous performance improvement strategy, plans, policies, tools, and frameworks for the Command across technical, scientific, and engineering disciplines. You will lead initiatives to promote the technical, scientific, and engineering aspects for continuous learning, collaboration, and innovation while evaluating the effectiveness and providing recommendations for improvement. You will conduct regular deliberate and systematic performance improvement efforts using best practices to deliver warfighting advantage in accordance with commander’s guidance. You will lead and participate in Cross Functional Teams (CFT) and Rapid Improvement Projects (RIP) aligned with the SSP Director and Executive Director priorities. You will conduct reviews, studies, and or surveys and evaluate current strategic weapons system operations and subsystems to identify technical deviations from standards ensure that strategic objectives. Develop metrics for Rapid Improvement Project outcomes to include performance improvement achieved and barriers requiring action; Execution progress of and outcomes achieved by the Performance Improvement Curriculum. Your resume must also demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience at or equivalent to the NH-03 (GS-13 equivalent) grade level or pay band in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector. Specialized experience must demonstrate the following: Conducting risk or self-assessments for a weapons system to meet mission critical goals/objectives; managing the planning, research and development, design, or life-cycle of a complex weapons system acquisition program; or conducting continuous improvement assessments, approaches, processes, tools and application (i.e. Lean Six Sigma).
