About the position

Cherokee Analytics is seeking a Senior Civil/Industrial Engineer to support defense analytical requirements through enhanced scientific research. This role is critical in contributing to the Defense Intelligence Enterprise's integrated all-source analysis of foreign defense capabilities, which is essential for warfighters, defense planners, and policymakers. The position requires an active TS/Sensitive Compartmental Information (SCI) clearance, with the ability to obtain a Counterintelligence polygraph clearance. The successful candidate will engage in a variety of engineering disciplines, including civil and industrial engineering, and will be involved in tasks such as capability and limitation analysis, reverse engineering analysis, and facility and vulnerability assessments. The responsibilities of the Senior Civil/Industrial Engineer include supporting defense analytical requirements with comprehensive scientific and engineering research. This encompasses a wide range of engineering sub-disciplines, including environmental, power systems, pipeline, petroleum, structural, manufacturing, geotechnical, transportation, highway, material science, seismic, construction, hydrology, and water resource engineering. The engineer will collaboratively integrate analytic findings with other related assessments and perform additional job-related duties as assigned. Candidates for this position should have a minimum of twelve years of related experience, with at least some of that experience occurring within the last two years. A Master's degree is preferred. The role demands a strong understanding of IC and DoD classification guidelines and procedures, as well as the ability to apply logical and systematic approaches to gather, evaluate, and synthesize information from multiple sources. The engineer must be adept at producing timely and concise analytic reports and documents using Microsoft Office tools, and must possess excellent communication skills to convey complex issues clearly and effectively. The ability to work independently with minimal oversight, as well as collaboratively with other intelligence community members, is essential for success in this role.
