Network and Cyber Test Data Analyst

Description

The company supports Joint Interagency Task Force 401 (JIATF 401) with a full-time analyst role focused on Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS).

You will examine network, cyber and operational test data to judge how C-UAS technologies perform, work together, hold up under stress and resist cyber threats.

Your findings will feed technology evaluations, operational assessments, capability development, acquisition choices and long-range planning.

You will turn dense technical data into clear insights for senior military and civilian decision-makers.

Responsibilities

• Gather, combine, link and analyze network, cyber, RF and operational test data from C-UAS technologies, sensors, command and control systems and enterprise networks.
• Use Maven Smart System (MSS), Palantir, Power BI, Python and AI-enabled analytical tools for network analysis, cyber assessments and test evaluations.
• Review packet captures, traffic, system logs, cyber events, telemetry and performance metrics to spot trends, weaknesses, anomalies and operational effects.
• Build analytical products that measure system performance, resiliency and cyber effectiveness during developmental testing, operational testing, demonstrations and capability reviews.
• Assess network designs, interoperability, communications speed, latency, bandwidth use and cyber controls used in C-UAS operations.
• Create dashboards, visualizations, technical reports and executive briefings that explain network performance, cyber readiness, effectiveness and mission impact.
• Apply artificial intelligence, machine learning and automated analytics to speed up log review, anomaly detection, threat identification and decision support.
• Examine cyber events, defensive operations data, vulnerability assessments, penetration test results and audit logs to find risks and recommend fixes.
• Design metrics and frameworks that measure network reliability, cyber resiliency, availability, interoperability and mission effectiveness.
• Work with test, network, cyber, software, operations, acquisition and mission teams to build full test assessments and technical recommendations.
• Help plan tests by defining data needs, instrumentation, success criteria and analysis methods for network and cyber evaluations.
• Write technical documentation, analytical reports, after-action reviews, operational assessments and executive briefings that support acquisition and capability decisions.
• Keep data accurate, secure and compliant with cyber policies, information assurance standards and data governance rules.
• Track new cyber threats, network technologies, AI analytics and changing C-UAS architectures to strengthen the team.
