  • Train and mentor investigators, analysts, and mission partners on forensic methodology, digital‑evidence handling, and investigative best practices.
  • Develop, deliver, and lead formal training events for government and cross‑agency partners.
  • Contribute to forensic readiness, capability maturation, and mission‑focused innovation efforts.
Required Qualifications:
  • At least 5 years of relevant digital‑forensic experience supporting federal investigations, incident response, evidentiary workflows, and cross‑agency operations with extensive knowledge of field concepts, practices, and procedures.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Digital Forensics, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or related field.

  • Demonstrated experience conducting memory forensics, disk forensics, or malware triage.
  • High proficiency with forensic platforms such as EnCase, AXIOM, X‑Ways, Cellebrite, or related enterprise tools.
  • Clear communication skills, both verbal and written.
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Candidates must meet eligibility requirements for a TS/SCI clearance. DHS Entry on Duty (EOD) suitability is required to begin support. Following EOD approval, candidates will be processed for, and must successfully obtain SCI.
