The analyst will ensure detailed and accurate exploitation products are delivered in a timely manner and contribute to mission-focused assessments that enhance operational readiness and improve threat mitigation efforts.
Responsibilities and Background
- Perform Weapons Technical Intelligence (WTI) technical analysis and examination via multiple means, including photos, X-rays, intelligence reporting, and physical examination of recovered Collected Exploitable Material (CEM), to support DoD exploitation efforts.
- Technically analyze CEM utilizing photos, X-rays, physical inspection, intelligence reporting, or other technologies and methodologies to identify critical and/or hazardous components for exploitation, R&D, and technical/tactical value, including but not limited to the five components of an IED: initiators, main charge, power sources, firing systems, and container.
- Conduct WTI and technical analysis of historical, current, and emerging Unmanned Systems (UxS), IEDs, and other improvised weapons systems and incidents to identify emerging threats and Commercial Based Technologies (CBT) and determine technical profiles.
- Conduct technical analysis and assist in the collection and dissemination of information to U.S. and coalition forces, on a need-to-know basis, concerning target device TTPs, technology, and exploitation procedures.
- Demonstrate ability to exploit various intelligence disciplines, including TECHINT, SIGINT/CYBER, and MASINT, from all levels of classified information.
- Ability to travel CONUS and OCONUS, including possible conflict areas, on short notice to disseminate relevant threat information.
- Perform all functional duties independently.

- Must demonstrate ability to provide analysis to identify trends on target devices and TTPs.
- Ability to conduct device profiling and identify build signatures in recovered IED evidence.
- Ability to conduct WTI and TECHINT assessments of recovered CEM, as well as COTS items, to provide technology assessments for use in threat devices.
- Experience using Explosive Ordnance Disposal radiographic imaging systems and conducting X-ray interpretation of the resulting images.
- Research unclassified and classified databases for use in written products.
- Monitor and analyze strategic and operational intelligence information.
- Research support for analysts who produce technical reports, briefings, and products that support the Intelligence Community, as well as direct support to current operations.

- Assist with development and maintenance of analytical policies and procedures.
- Knowledge of current events in targeting, historical, assessment, and pattern analysis processes.
- Ability to generate/provide specialized analytical products.
- Ability to search/screen all media sources and provide assessments of technical and tactical impacts to fielded or emerging threat devices.
- Proficient in utilizing standard MS Office computer applications and intelligence-related automation to support analytical efforts and product development.
- Proficient in utilizing specialized intelligence tools and methods to create finished products.
- Possess strong research, analytical, and writing skills, as well as briefing skills, including the ability to clearly articulate information to different audiences.
- Capable of effectively operating as a member of a team or organization from a remote location in support of DoD requirements.
- Experience providing intelligence support regarding issues within the CENTCOM AOR, AFRICOM AOR, or other specific COCOMs.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience working in a theater-level exploitation laboratory.
- Must have experience conducting functional analyses of Commercial Based Technology devices, specifically RCIED and UxS, and describing how the device functions.
- Conduct Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB) for identified locations using knowledge of current CBT TTPs and availability of commercial technologies.
- Experience working with engineering or technical partners on joint technical products.
- Experience with SOFEX, WTI Exploitation and Analysis Tool (WEAT) databases, WTI IED Lexicon, and device profile guide.
