Aperio Global is seeking Digital Network Exploitation Analysts (DNEAs) to support our IC program in Fort Meade, Maryland. The DNEA role involves evaluating target opportunities, understanding and mapping target networks, and developing detailed exploitation and operations plans, using various sources of data.
The role requires analyzing SIGINT and cybersecurity data at different OSI network levels and possessing knowledge of logical/physical IP core infrastructure, communication devices, and network traffic patterns. The candidate should actively contribute to the development of new tradecraft for analysis as technology evolves. Collaboration with a team to understand intelligence needs, mission relevance, and areas of expertise is essential. Additionally, the job involves using analytical skills and curiosity to form hypotheses, choose appropriate analysis techniques, and derive insights from data, which will be documented, contextualized, and shared with teammates, stakeholders, and intelligence consumers.
Analyze SIGINT and cybersecurity data at multiple levels up and down the OSI network stack and brings a solid understanding of logical/physical IP core infrastructure, communication devices, and how they connect to networks, as well as the traffic movements in a network.
Participate in developing new tradecraft needed to perform this analysis as technologies evolve.
Collaborates with a team to develop shared understandings of intelligence needs, mission relevance, and areas of expertise.
Apply innate curiosity and analytical talent to form hypotheses, critically assess and choose analysis techniques, then query, merge, enrich, evaluate, and pivot within data to attain and share insights.
Distill, document, contextualize, and share findings—including any new tradecraft that you develop—with teammates, stakeholders, and intelligence consumers.
