Providing independent all-source intelligence analysis, the analyst leverages Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and corporate registries to evaluate Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI), technology transfer risks, and strategic threat trends targeting the aviation industrial base. This role evaluates physical, technical, and personnel vulnerabilities, including vendor vetting, sophisticated hardware/firmware threats and insider risks, to produce actionable intelligence products that inform agency leadership and support the broader FAA SCRM framework.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Conduct proactive threat analysis of foreign suppliers, third-party software developers, and hardware manufacturers to identify nation-state activity and strategic threat trends targeting the FAA.
- Utilize OSINT and corporate registries to screen prospective FAA vendors and evaluate the supply chain for Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) indicators, foreign partnerships, and technology transfer threats.
- Monitor specialized threat feeds, nation-state activities, and geopolitical shifts to identify, evaluate, and mitigate strategic supply chain risks to the FAA.
- Support the FAA Insider Risk Program by identifying and analyzing personnel concerns, anomalous vendor behaviors, and internal vulnerabilities.
- Evaluate threat vectors including malicious hardware or software modifications, supply chain transit interdiction, and counterfeit electronic components.
- Synthesize complex data to produce clear, actionable Supplier Threat Profiles, Country Risk Profiles, link-analysis diagrams, and timely threat alerts/advisories for FAA program managers, technical teams, and executive decision-makers.
- Formulate performance metrics and program reports for executive leadership.
- Maintain critical operational and collaborative relationships with external stakeholders, including the FAA Chief Information Officer (CIO), Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the broader Intelligence Community (IC).
- Coordinate and facilitate SCRM training and awareness campaigns for acquisition personnel and program offices.

- Analytical Capability: Proven experience using corporate registries, commercial databases, and OSINT techniques to investigate corporate structures, trace components, and evaluate FOCI.
