Department Summary:

The Technical Intelligence Department delivers impactful engineering analyses to rapidly transform current and future warfighter operations in contested and denied environments. We accomplish this through close interaction with our United States Air Force (USAF), United States Space Force (USSF), and other sponsors as well as with senior leadership in the Intelligence, Acquisition, and Warfighting communities. Our engineering analysis is informed by intelligence assessments of both adversarial kill chains and analysis of threats to US kill chains. We conduct engineering assessments of advanced and evolving threats, perform end-to-end effects chain analysis, develop digital engineering architectures for Intelligence applications, identify potential threat mitigation options, and perform experimentation of threat mitigation capabilities.

Roles & Responsibilities:

Contribute Impactfully to our Sponsors:

• Lead the design, development, and implementation of Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) software solutions

• Develop high-quality software designs and architectures

• Review and debug code to ensure optimal performance and quality

• Conduct validation and verification testing

• Provide technical guidance and coaching to developers and engineers

• Analyze the design of PNT systems to predict performance in various environments and under different operational conditions

• Participate in end-to-end effects chain analysis to assess the impact of adversarial threats and identify potential mitigation strategies

• Engage in experimentation and prototyping of new PNT technologies and threat mitigation capabilities

• Stay abreast of advancements in PNT technologies, and assess their applicability to future warfighter operations in contested and denied environments

• Develop tailored, engineering-level Intelligence assessments that provide deep insights into adversary systems enabling engineering research, experimentation, prototype development, acquisition, test and evaluation, and operational execution of cyber and electronic warfare solutions

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand how the adversary integrates PNT systems

Basic Qualifications:

• Typically requires a minimum of 8 years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 6 years and a Master's degree; or a PhD with 3 years' experience; or equivalent combination of related education and work experience
