This position will also support the development and dissemination of maritime finished intelligence (FINTEL) products for the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI).\nIn this role, you will work at the intersection of engineering, all-source intelligence, C4ISR analysis, and threat characterization, helping transform complex intelligence into defensible, operationally relevant assessments that support countermeasure development and mission planning.\nProgram objectives include:\nProduce objective, tradecraft-compliant FINTEL in accordance with ICD 203.\nProduce defensible, sourceable FINTEL in accordance with ICD 206.\nMaximize product disseminability to support countermeasure developers and operational stakeholders.\nHelp close the sensor-to-shooter loop by connecting intelligence, engineering analysis, and operational vulnerabilities.\nPrimary Responsibilities\nAll-Source Intelligence Review\nReview current intelligence assessments and reconcile available source holdings across the undersea domain, including Imagery Intelligence (IMINT), Electronic Intelligence (ELINT), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT), Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT), Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), and Acoustic Intelligence (ACINT). Identify, assess, and prioritize key intelligence gaps requiring further analysis or collection.\nC4ISR Architecture Characterization\nCollaborate with engineering subject-matter experts to characterize adversary Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) architectures. Analysis may include:\nC4 node hierarchy and engagement decision timelines.\nBattle management, weapon-target assignment, and engagement sequencing under saturation conditions.\nSensor integration, data fusion, and track-quality requirements for weapon handoff.\nCommunications and datalink characteristics.\nElectronic Protection (EP) integration under jamming and Electronic Attack (EA) conditions.\nSensor-to-Vulnerability Analysis\nTranslate raw intelligence and technical data into operationally actionable assessments of adversary kill-chain architecture. Identify critical decision points, timing constraints, system dependencies, and architectural vulnerabilities that can directly inform Electronic Warfare (EW), Electronic Protection (EP), and hard-kill countermeasure development.\nSensor-to-Shooter Chain Characterization\nCharacterize the full adversary sensor-to-shooter chain, from initial target detection through:\nTrack development and reporting.\nFire-control solution generation.\nWeapon-launch authorization.\nPost-launch guidance and support.\nBattle damage assessment.\nIntra- and Inter-Platform Operations\nAssess how threat platforms coordinate with other sensors, systems, and platforms. Characterize assessed data-exchange formats, cueing protocols, cooperative-engagement logic, and system dependencies that contribute to integrated combat operations.\nTargeting Data Quality\nEvaluate track accuracy and latency requirements at key handoff points throughout the engagement chain. Assess how degradation in track quality resulting from jamming, electronic attack, or other countermeasures may affect engagement effectiveness and overall system performance.\nDisseminable FINTEL Production\nDevelop finished intelligence products consistent with customer sourcing and dissemination principles. When possible, derive assessments from sources classified at SECRET//REL TO USA, FVEY or below to maximize dissemination to allied partners and operational commands. Develop a separate SCI addendum only when SCI-level sourcing is necessary.\nRequired Education, Skills, and Experience\nBachelor’s degree in science, engineering, or a related relevant field and 12+ years-experience or master’s and 8+ years of relevant experience. Additional experience (4+) may be considered in lieu of a degree.\nPrior experience producing maritime intelligence products.\nExperience with signal processing and/or systems engineering.\nExperience working with SIGINT, OSINT, and other relevant all-source intelligence disciplines.\nActive Top Secret clearance with the ability to obtain SCI access.\nPreferred Qualifications\nGraduate degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field.\nExperience with Grapevine.\nExperience applying or working with Artificial Intelligence (AI).\nCandidates with a TS/SCI in-scope and active will be given preference.\nSalary Range - $120K -$185K\nIf you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling.
