Thank you for your interest in N-E-I and this position, which is full-time (40 hours per week).

COMPANY BACKGROUND: INFORMATION

N-E-I is a service business with a history of successfully delivering projects for federal government agencies by providing outstanding service and comprehensive turn-key solutions. We are certified as s Small Disadvantaged (SDB), Woman-Owned (WOSB/EDWOSB), and Minority entity, which has been in operation since 1987. We are proposing on a 5-year contract at Camp Pendleton, CA. and seek highly experienced, qualified employees to fill these positions.

JOB FUNCTIONS: I

Overview: The Computer Systems Analyst analyzes business or scientific problems for resolution through electronic data processing, gathers information from users, defines work problems, and, if feasible, designs a system of computer programs and procedures to resolve the problems. This Worker develops complete specifications or enables other computer programmers to prepare required programs and analyzes subject-matter operations to be automated; specifies number and types of records, files, and documents to be used and outputs to be produced; prepares work diagrams and data flow charts; coordinates tests of the system and participates in trial runs of new and revised systems; and recommends computer equipment changes to obtain more effective operations. The Computer Systems Analyst may also write the computer programs. Positions are classified into levels based on the following definitions:

COMPUTER SYSTEMS ANALYST I

At this level, initial assignments are designed to expand practical experience in applying systems analysis techniques and procedures. This analyst provides several phases of the required systems analysis where the nature of the system is predetermined, uses established fact-finding approaches, knowledge of pertinent work processes and procedures, and familiarity with related computer programming practices, system software, and computer equipment. This worker carries out fact finding and analyses as assigned; applies established procedures where the nature of the system, feasibility, computer equipment and programming language have already been decided; may assist a higher level systems analyst by preparing the detailed specifications required by computer programmers from information developed by the higher level analyst, and may research routine user problems and solve them by modifying the existing system when the solutions follow clear precedents.

COMPUTER SYSTEMS ANALYST II

This analyst applies systems analysis and design skills in an area such as a record keeping or scientific operation. This position requires competence in most phases of system analysis and knowledge of pertinent system software and computer equipment and of the work processes, applicable regulations, workload, and practices of the assigned subject-matter area. Job duties require the analyst to be able to recognize probable interactions of related computer systems and predict impact of a change in assigned system. The Computer Systems Analyst II reviews proposals which consist of objectives, scope, and user expectations; gathers facts, analyzes data, and prepares a project synopsis which compares alternatives in terms of cost, time, availability of equipment and personnel, and recommends a course of action; upon approval of synopsis, prepares specifications for development of computer programs. Duties also include the ability to determine and resolve data processing problems and coordinate the work with program, users, etc. This worker orients user personnel on new or changed procedures, may conduct special projects such as data element and code standardization throughout a broad system, working under specific objectives and bringing to the attention of the supervisor any unusual problems or controversies. In this position, the incumbent works independently under overall project objectives and requirements, and apprises supervisor about progress and unusual complications.

This worker adapts design approaches successfully used in precedent systems, works on a segment of a complex data processing scheme or broad system.

COMPUTER SYSTEMS ANALYST III

The Computer Systems Analyst III applies systems analysis and design techniques to complex computer systems in a broad area such as finance management, engineering, accounting, statistics, logistics planning, material management, etc. Usually, there are multiple users of the system; however, there may be complex one-user systems, e.g., for engineering or research projects. This position requires competence in all phases of systems analysis techniques, concepts, and methods and knowledge of available system software, computer equipment, and

the regulations, structure, techniques, and management practices of one or more subject-matter areas. Since input data usually come from diverse sources, this worker is responsible for recognizing probable conflicts and integrating diverse data elements and sources, and produces innovative solutions for a variety of complex problems. The Computer Systems Analyst III maintains and modifies complex systems or develops new subsystems such as an integrated production scheduling, inventory control, cost analysis, or sales analysis record in which every item of each type is automatically processed through the full system of records. Employee guides users in formulating requirements, advises on alternatives and on the implications of new or revised data processing systems, analyzes resulting user project proposals, identifies omissions and errors in requirements and conducts feasibility studies. This analyst recommends optimum approach and develops system design for approved projects, interprets information and informally arbitrates between system users when conflicts exist. This worker may serve as lead analyst in a design subgroup, directing and integrating the work of one or two lower level analysts, each responsible for several programs.
