• Support operational activities involving cyber-enabled targeting, information advantage, mission assurance, force protection, and distributed operational environments.
• Coordinate across cyber operators, intelligence analysts, mission planners, software developers, systems engineers, and Government stakeholders.
• Support operational mission environments involving cyber-enabled threats, unmanned systems, electronic warfare, influence operations, irregular warfare tactics, and distributed attacks.
• Support technical planning, operational assessments, mission analysis, capability integration, verification, validation, and mission readiness activities.
• Develop technical documentation, mission analyses, operational briefings, and recommendations for Government leadership.
• Participate in operational exercises, mission rehearsals, demonstrations, red team activities, and mission-focused assessments supporting cyber and non-kinetic operations.
• Support rapid capability development, prototype evaluation, and operational transition activities for emerging cyber and information warfare technologies.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Mathematics, Physics, or related technical discipline.
• Minimum of 10 years of relevant experience supporting Department of War, DoD, Intelligence Community, Cyber Mission Force, or national security programs.
• Demonstrated experience supporting offensive cyber operations, defensive cyber operations, cyber mission planning, or operational cyber mission environments.
• Experience supporting non-kinetic effects operations including cyber operations, electronic warfare, information operations, influence operations, or cyber-enabled operational effects.
• Experience supporting military operations involving asymmetric warfare, contested operational environments, irregular threats, or non-traditional threat vectors.
• Experience supporting operational planning, mission execution, operational analysis, targeting support, or cyber effects coordination activities.
• Experience integrating cyber capabilities with operational Command and Control (C2), intelligence systems, mission systems, or operational workflows.
• Experience analyzing and supporting threats associated with cyber-enabled attacks, electronic warfare, distributed attacks, unmanned systems, or adversarial network operations.
• Familiarity with cyber mission environments, tactical networks, operational mission systems, or secure communications architectures.
• Ability to support technical planning, mission analysis, operational assessments, and mission-focused operational activities.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare operational documentation and brief Government leadership.
