The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise, strong quantitative and problem-solving capabilities, and the ability to translate complex technical information into actionable findings for Government stakeholders and senior leaders.

• Conduct electromagnetic spectrum monitoring and analysis during experimentation and assessment events, including evaluation of RF performance, signal interference, LPD/LPI characteristics, EMCON compliance, and spectrum-management considerations.
• Lead threat-informed red teaming and vulnerability assessments to evaluate prototype systems against current and emerging operational, cyber, supply-chain, and security threats.
• Design and apply quantitative analytical methodologies to complex performance datasets and develop analytical tools, visualizations, and decision-support products.
• Provide technical and analytical support to experimentation teams, including statistical validation, performance analysis, Critical Operational Issue (COI)-aligned metrics, and Body of Evidence (BoE) development.
• Evaluate system reliability, availability, maintainability, and sustainment considerations to support technology transition and fielding recommendations.
• Coordinate with intelligence organizations, operational units, technical teams, and other stakeholders to develop realistic threat scenarios and operationally representative assessment environments.
• Provide specialized technical expertise across multidisciplinary assessment and Cross-Functional Analysis Teams (CFATs), supporting integrated assessment planning, execution, and analysis.
• Serve as a technical liaison with Government organizations, industry, academia, research laboratories, test facilities, and other mission partners.
• Develop and communicate technical findings, assessment results, and recommendations through analytical products, technical reports, briefings, and other decision-support materials.
• Support technical working groups, planning conferences, field experimentation events, and continuous improvement of experimentation and assessment methodologies.

• U.S. Citizenship required

• Experience with DoD acquisition, systems engineering, test and evaluation, or technical risk management
• Strong analytical, technical writing, communication, and stakeholder-coordination skills
• Ability to support field experimentation, test ranges, and operational environments

• Master’s degree or Ph.D. in a relevant technical discipline
• Professional certification in systems engineering, cybersecurity, or a related technical specialty
• Experience supporting DoD rapid acquisition, prototyping, experimentation, or operational assessment programs
• Experience with DIA, RPP, T-REX, JRE, APFIT, or similar DoD experimentation and technology-transition efforts
• Experience with reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) analysis or sustainment planning
• Proficiency with MATLAB, Python, R, or similar analytical tools
• Experience with Tableau, Power BI, or similar data-visualization tools
• Experience supporting multidisciplinary technical or Cross-Functional Analysis Teams

• Combination of analytical, technical/laboratory, and field-based work
