  • Evaluate industry and academic datasets and analytic tools; develop or assess routing and performance metrics; analyze the viability of emerging network technologies
  • Frame and support telecommunications risk analyses addressing route diversity, Continuity of Operations (COOP), and potential impacts to Government communications during NS/EP events
  • Apply Public Switched Network (Internet, PSTN, wireless) modeling and analysis methodologies, tools, data, and procedures to Government analytic requirements
  • Conduct rapid triage on questions, issues, or events involving the nation's critical communications infrastructure
  • Interface with critical infrastructure sector representatives, industry, and external agencies for note-taking, assessment, and information gathering; represent the team in technical meetings and discussions
  • Support geospatial analyses of telecommunications infrastructure in partnership with GIS data scientists, contributing domain validation to infrastructure mapping products
  • Provide analytic support before, during, and after NS/EP events, including surge operations outside normal business hours
  • Author concise, professional-quality analytic reports, briefings, and technical assessments on formal Government review cycles

  • Bachelor's degree with three (3) years of specialized experience, Master's degree with one (1) year, or seven (7) years of equivalent specialized experience
  • Strong background in a telecommunications discipline (carrier networks, transport/optical systems, submarine cable systems, wireless, or internet infrastructure)
  • Specialized experience in Public Switched Network modeling and analysis — spanning Internet, PSTN, and wireless — including associated methodologies, tools, data, and procedures
  • Knowledge of cybersecurity and IT security principles as applied to communications infrastructure
  • Intermediate proficiency with the ESRI ArcGIS product suite
  • Broad expertise in research, analysis, and technical writing, with deliverables meeting formal Government acceptance standards
  • Familiarity with the National Response Framework (NRF), Emergency Support Function (ESF) #2, and applicable national cyber incident response doctrine

Preferred Qualifications

  • Direct experience with submarine/undersea cable systems, landing stations, or international transport networks
  • Experience with telecommunications capacity, usage, routing, or outage datasets
  • Prior support to NS/EP communications programs, priority services, national security systems, or a 24/7 operations center environment

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
