  • Experience conducting all-source analytic production on nuclear programs, including production facilities, stockpiles, logistics, systems employment, security, and vulnerabilities of facilities and stockpiles
  • Experience with all-source analysis production, including analytic tradecraft, ICD 203 and 206, and DIA writing style
  • Knowledge of nuclear weapons programs, including nuclear weapons effects, nuclear fuel cycle, and nuclear infrastructure
  • Knowledge of applying and querying SIGINT, GEOINT, OSINT, and HUMINT data sets and databases
  • Ability to independently develop high-quality tailored deliverables, including actionable leads, ICD-compliant written products, network charts, and formal or informal briefings
  • Ability to adjust to changing mission requirements and deliver products within a short time frame
  • Ability to collaborate with other mission partners on production and take lead briefing at unique events
  • Active TS/SCI clearance; willingness to take a polygraph exam
  • Bachelor’s degree and 3+ years of experience with intelligence, or 7+ years of experience with intelligence in lieu of a degree

Nice If You Have:

  • Experience countering missiles and delivery systems, advanced weapons, and CBRNE
  • Experience with data analytics and visualization
  • TS/SCI clearance with a polygraph
