Risk Mitigation:

  • Monitor targeting and C2 networks for emerging threats and security gaps.
  • Perform vulnerability assessments and recommend mitigations in coordination with cybersecurity teams.
  • Implement proactive defense strategies to protect personnel, platforms, and digital assets.

Continuous Improvement and Innovation:

  • Research and apply emerging technologies to operational intelligence and kill chain design.
  • Lead innovation efforts in building adaptable and resilient networks.
  • Mentor team members on intelligence integration tools, methodologies, and systems engineering principles.

State-of-the-Art Technology:

You will leverage industry-leading C2 systems, intelligence analytics platforms, and secure targeting environments to optimize data pipelines and battlefield awareness in real time.

New Skills:

In this role, you'll gain hands-on experience with joint targeting processes, C3 systems, data analytics frameworks, and advanced mission planning tools while working alongside seasoned experts.

Room to Grow:

You Have:

  • Active TS/SCI clearance
