EXPERIENCE SUMMARY:
Overview:
Backed up with his undergraduate degree in Mathematics and post-graduate
work in Educational Psychology, Mr. Weissmuller provided personnel research
support for the Air Force's Human Resources Laboratory (AFHRL) for nearly
twenty-five years with roles ranging from computer programming & analysis to
managing large scale projects to international technology transfer. Leaving federal service after 10 years, Mr. Weissmuller
became a consultant for many governmental agencies and international clients.
In addition to being a principal in his own corporation, Mr. Weissmuller served
as site manager on a five-year, $5.4 million AFHRL contract employing a staff
of 45 with duties including proposal preparation, budgeting, planning, hiring,
firing, supervising, training, and mentoring.
The next fifteen years were spent as a Senior Scientist working projects
and performing new business development by direct client marketing and
responding to standard Request for Proposals (RFPs) as well as Small Business
Innovation Research (SBIR) projects and Broad Area Announcements (BAAs). The
events of 9/11 curtailed client budgets and Mr. Weissmuller returned to civil
service as a personnel research psychologist at HQ Air Force Personnel Center
in the Military Testing Section in November 2003..
Personnel Research Psychologist: Mr. Weissmuller provides psychometric
expertise in applications of Item Response Theory (IRT) used in equating test
scores and in the detection and prosecution of test compromise cases. Mr. Weissmuller’s computer background is used
to audit and automate poorly documented historical processes undergoing
technology upgrades long after the original designers have left the
organization.
Founder, Chairman of the Board: Mr.
Weissmuller founded Sensible Systems, Inc. (SSI) to encourage the responsible
spread of task-based job analysis methods. Mr. Weissmuller's improved
microcomputer design of the Comprehensive Occupational Data Analysis Program (atCODAP)
has been licensed to consultants and governmental agencies from
Washington D.C. to Australia. He has provided consulting to clients in diverse
locations such as New York,
Vienna,
Kuala Lumpur, Toronto,
and Washington.
At the request of the University of Wollongong, Australia, Mr. Weissmuller spent
five months in 1990 supporting the South Coast Employment Development Project
(SCEDP) in Australia.
Mr. Weissmuller helped SCEDP to realign over 200 job families in one of Australia's
largest steel companies, covering over 6,000 workers and ten languages. In 2002, Mr. Weissmuller formed ICODAP: Innovation
Center for Occupational Data
Applications & Practices – a non-profit off-shoot of Sensible Systems
following the closing of IJOA (below).
Co-Founder, Vice-Director: Mr.
Weissmuller co-founded the Institute for Job and Occupational Analysis (IJOA)
to facilitate the development and responsible spread of information-rich job
analysis methods. Mr. Weissmuller
promoted a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement between the
government and private companies.
Technical projects included operational global occupational analysis
projects for the US military
(Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marines), the UK military (Royal Navy and the
Royal Air Force) as well as the US Coast Guard. Technological innovations
included the design, development and validation of both diskette-based and
Internet-based survey tools for worldwide surveys. Realized the goal of transitioning
traditional occupational analysis hardcopy products into Microsoft Office
formats such as Word, Excel, Access and FrontPage for wider applications of
results.
Senior Scientist: Mr.
Weissmuller is one of the world's foremost experts on the automated job
analysis technology called the Comprehensive Occupational Data Analysis Programs
(CODAP) system. These efforts link real job requirements to selection, training
and testing programs. During this period, he managed large scale projects,
presented scientific papers at professional conferences and wrote white-paper
proposals to educate potential clients. Mr. Weissmuller designed and
technically contributed to the following major projects with Metrica, Inc.: (1)
the conversion of ASCII CODAP to CODAP II for the IBM mainframes (under VM
& MVS) under an Inter-Service contract and to the IBM 6000 RISC machine
(under AIX); (2) the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Testing and Training
Validation study which pioneered the Job Linkage Assessment Procedures (JLAP);
(3) the Computer Administered Surveys (CAS) project covering 72 Air Force
career fields; (4) the Tailored Task List System (TTLS) for adaptive survey
administration; (5) the Semantic Assisted Linkage System (SALS) for tracking
job information across time or through restructurings; (6) the Weapon-System
Specific Task (WSST) List Development Procedures; (7) the Job Structuring
Technologies (JST) project for Air Force wide restructuring of job families; (8)
the Abilities Requirements on Task Performance study; (9) the reestablishment
of benchmarked task learning difficulties for 192 Air Force specialties; (10)
the conclusion of a long series of job analyses for the U.S. Coast Guard; and
(11) the finalization of the Automated Test Outline (ATO) procedures for the
Air Force enlisted promotion system.
Program Manager: Mr.
Weissmuller designed and conducted advanced seminars covering traditional and
innovative applications of the new Comprehensive Occupational Data Analysis
Programs (ASCII CODAP) system. These sessions included an Executive Overview, a
Policy Setting Seminar and various programs for the management, senior job
analysts, and computer technicians at the United States Air Force Occupational
Measurement Center (USAFOMC). New techniques for interpreting task clustering
solutions (module-typing) had to be devised to allow USAFOMC to operationally
use the results of over 10 years of research. Mr. Weissmuller managed the
development of ASCII CODAP for the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory (AFHRL)
under a task order contract. His contributions in this area included the creation,
evaluation, and implementation of new statistical procedures in automated job
analysis, the application of artificial intelligence techniques to link
occupationally-related data systems, the successful application of CODAP
technology to many advanced research projects, and the mainframe-micro computer
transfer of CODAP technology and data to support operational Air Force programs
such as the Specialty Knowledge Test (SKT) outline development used in the
Weighted Airman Promotion System (WAPS).
ADP Technical Specialist: Mr.
Weissmuller provided scientific and technical expertise in managing and
expanding the Air Force's testing laboratory for the Learning Abilities
Measurement Program (Project LAMP). The goal of this project was to assess the
learning ability/potential of subjects without traditional academic
success. This assessment was to be accomplished using newly available PCs
with subjects who may have no computer skills before the assessment session.
Mr. Weissmuller designed the assessment system and translated research
scientists' theoretical test objectives into concrete plans then trained and
directed the efforts of contract support personnel such as lead programmers,
test automation technicians, test proctors, and statistical analysis specialists.
To expand the domain of possible tests, Mr. Weissmuller interfaced, integrated,
and evaluated advanced technologies in experimental test batteries. These
technologies included networking interactive tests, computer-interfaced video
disk and video tape systems, speech generation and recognition systems,
graphics tablets, and touch-sensitive screens.
Systems Analyst/Scientist: Mr.
Weissmuller served as the Principal Investigator and Senior Systems Analyst for
the basic research project funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific
Research (AFOSR) to evaluate the potential of microcomputer technology for
assessing the learning abilities of new Air Force recruits. As the only
full-time employee on the project during its initial stages, Mr. Weissmuller
was responsible for project administration and execution including the
initiation, tracking, and management of contracts for both research and
operational support. Technical responsibilities included the design and
validation of all software and data collection methods used in the Learning
Laboratory as well as the procurement and installation of over $300,000 of
microcomputer equipment.
Systems Analyst: Mr.
Weissmuller was the Principal Investigator on all major Air Force work units
supporting the Comprehensive Occupational Data Analysis Programs (CODAP)
system. During this time he was the Air Force focal point for the transfer of
technology for the CODAP system. Mr. Weissmuller represented AFHRL at Federal
Laboratory Consortium Exhibitions and acted as the Air Force evaluator for the
Navy-sponsored IBM/CODAP80 rewrite project. Mr. Weissmuller organized and
taught seminars on the Air Force CODAP system to personnel managers, job
analysts, and occupational researchers. He supervised and trained CODAP
technicians, CODAP programmers, and the utility programming staff that designed
and implemented a computer language used heavily at AFHRL. His personal design
and implementation of task factor analysis, modular job analysis, and
cluster-matrix enhancement techniques provided essential tools to support
numerous projects. Acknowledgements in final reports cite his substantial
contributions to the operational design and analysis of many major AFHRL
research thrusts such as Training Priorities, Aptitude Requirements, and Strength
& Stamina. Mr. Weissmuller managed the conversion of a major FORTRAN
software package (Career Area Rotation Model: CAROM) from the CDC-6600 to the
Sperry (Univac) 1108. In his off-duty time, Mr. Weissmuller provided job
analysis consulting, converted FIELDATA CODAP to a CDC-6600 version for the
University of Texas’
Graduate School of Business, and installed CODAP at many locations throughout
the U.S. and Canada.
Military Programming Specialist: During
his military service, Mr. Weissmuller advanced from Maintenance Programming
Apprentice to Lead Programmer and Analyst for the CODAP programming unit. In
late 1973, Mr. Weissmuller assumed responsibility for reprogramming the CODAP
system from a second-generation IBM 7040 to a third-generation Sperry (Univac)
1100 series computer. This conversion minimized the maintenance support
requirement and allowed Mr. Weissmuller the time to add the inter-rater
reliability and multiple linear regression capabilities to the CODAP system. He
was awarded the Air Force Commendation Medal for his efforts to transfer the
CODAP technology from the Air Force to the U.S. Army Military Personnel Center.
