Full Job Description
The analyst will embed with technical teams and Program Managers to deliver mission-driven intelligence that informs capability development, shapes requirements, and ensures alignment with real-world operational needs and adversary threats.
Top-tier candidates will deliver expert intelligence analysis to enable end-to-end capability development-translating intelligence insights into actionable inputs that drive system design, experimentation, and operational transition. This position will serve as a critical interface between the intelligence community (IC), Department of War (DoW), and the R&D customer, ensuring continuous integration of threat-informed analysis across the full capability lifecycle.
Ideal candidates bring deep expertise in analyzing SAP technologies, interpreting complex intelligence reporting, and understanding national security-related science and technology. Successful candidates demonstrate a strong capacity to rapidly learn new topics and identify threats to U.S. national security systems. Prior experience in the Department of Defense/War and/or Intelligence Community (IC) is essential.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead the research, collection, and production of timely and mission-relevant intelligence to inform technology programs and warfighter needs.
Conduct multi-source analysis (OSINT, SIGINT, HUMINT, GEOINT, etc.) to identify and assess current and emerging threats to U.S. technological superiority.
Deliver tailored threat assessments, operational context, and adversary capability analysis to inform capability development decisions and investments.
Coordinate with the IC, COCOMs, Service components to ensure integrated intelligence support to capability development and transition efforts.
Engage with the science and technology (S&T) community to inform R&D investment decisions and evaluate future technology landscapes.
Assess adversary capabilities and risks related to microelectronics, biotechnology, supply chain vulnerabilities, and foreign investment in critical technologies.
Support operational planning by employing modeling and simulation tools to forecast adversary actions and assess strategic scenarios.
Deliver in-depth analysis on electronic warfare, cyber operations, threat finance, and economic warfare.
Advise SAP owners and technology development stakeholders on threat environments and countermeasures.
Required Qualifications:
Demonstrated experience integrating intelligence into research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) and capability development processes.
Knowledge of adversary capabilities and R&D pathways in cyber, space, electronic warfare, AI, microelectronics, hypersonics, or directed energy.
Familiarity with integrating intelligence into system design, CONOPS development, and capability transition to operational users.
Skilled in capability development activities including experimentation, wargaming, modeling & simulation (M&S), and prototype evaluation.
Strong understanding of intelligence tradecraft applied to capability development, system design, and operational problem-solving.
15-20+ years of experience in all-source intelligence analysis supporting DoD, IC, or R&D / capability development customers
Bachelor's degree in intelligence, national security studies, engineering, physics, or related field; advanced degree preferred.
Graduate of a U.S. military or civilian intelligence training program (e.g., DIA, NSA, CIA, DHS, or DoD Intelligence Schools).
U.S. citizenship and active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility.
Preferred Qualifications:
Master's or Ph.D. in relevant field (STEM, Intelligence, Political Science, etc.).
Experience supporting joint warfighters or combatant commands with actionable intelligence.
Understanding of the DoD acquisition lifecycle (e.g., JCIDS, DAS) and the integration of intelligence in technology development.
Active Counterintelligence (CI) or Full-Scope Polygraph clearance.
