  • Ability to design and implement complex algorithms using scientific analysis and mathematical models
  • Experience supporting Information Assurance or secure software development environments
  • Strong problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills
  • Ability to work independently and lead technical efforts across multiple teams
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for documentation and technical collaboration

Education and Experience:
