- Analyze and correlate cyber threat intelligence (all-source, SIGINT, and technical data) to identify patterns, anomalies, and emerging threats.
- Support incident response activities, including policy development, after-action analysis, and improvement of response procedures.
- Conduct trend analysis and risk assessments to evaluate threat posture and inform defensive and offensive cyberspace operations.
- Collaborate with operational, intelligence, and technical teams across USCYBERCOM to enhance situational awareness and coordinated cyber response.
- Support development and enhancement of enterprise malware analysis platforms and tools and contribute to DoD cyber situational awareness systems.
- Provide subject matter expertise to Operational Planning Teams (OPTs), crisis action teams, and ongoing operations, including support to contingency and mission planning.
Required Qualifications
- Active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility (Polygraph required).
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Digital Forensics, or related field (or equivalent experience).
- 8+ years of experience in malware analysis, reverse engineering, and incident response.

- Strong knowledge of network protocols, operating systems internals, and cyber threat analysis methodologies.
- Demonstrated ability to produce high-quality analytical products (reports, briefings, technical documentation) under tight timelines.
Desired Qualifications
- Master’s degree in Cybersecurity, Information Security, or related discipline.
- Experience supporting USCYBERCOM, Joint operations, or DoD cyber missions.
