The Space Systems Analysis & Test Group identifies gaps and sets goals to ensure robust U.S. space systems for military, intelligence, civil and commercial purposes. This work involves understanding the attributes and vulnerabilities of U.S. space-related systems, including the sensors and networks used to detect, track, and characterize objects in space; the satellites that provide space-based services; and the infrastructure used to control and operate these satellites. We aim to provide senior leaders in the U.S. space community the understanding to make decisions regarding the U.S. space architecture. A central component of this effort involves consideration of how adversaries might try to exploit U.S. vulnerabilities; assessing the risk of exploitation involves technically evaluating the knowledge and resources required to mount a credible threat against our systems. Our staff regularly perform detailed modeling of optical, radar, and propulsion systems; develop novel ideas for new space systems and on-orbit operations; and achieve understanding of the timelines, architectures, and decision-making processes for maintaining awareness of the space environment. In addition, the group pursues potentially game-changing, innovative ideas for remote sensing of space and the Earth. This part of our work involves sensor design, signal and image processing as well as space object and environmental phenomenology.

The successful candidate is expected to work with the leadership and the staff of the Space Systems Analysis & Test Group, the Advanced Sensors & Techniques Group, and the Information Integration & Decision Support Group and present them with timely and clear space domain intelligence reports. Must be able to assemble and analyze space domain relevant multi-source intelligence and capture, correlate, and fuse technical, geographical, and operational information. The candidate must also be capable of organizing, maintaining, and updating intelligence libraries and repositories at multiple classification levels. The successful candidate is also expected to have the ability to create and present briefings and reports in a timely manner.

Requirements

• BS in Computer Science, Engineering or other technical field. Minimum of 1-3 years of experience in the field of intelligence.
• In lieu of BS, 3-5 years of directly related experience will be considered.
• Ability to program in a technical environment such as MATLAB or C/C++ is desired but not required. Candidates with prior military experience are encouraged to apply.
