About the position

Praescient Analytics has an immediate opening for a Computer Exploitation Test Engineer (Penetration Tester) to support the 1st IO Command at Fort Belvoir, VA. In this role, you will be responsible for conducting all-source analytic production of future and current leading-edge technologies and their military applications worldwide. This includes projecting the discovery, development, and deployment of advanced technologies and assessing their potential impact on U.S. forces globally. You will provide risk assessments on the transfer and diversion of defense and dual-use U.S. technologies, evaluating the national security implications associated with foreign involvement in critical U.S. defense technology and sectors. Your work will produce intelligence for the U.S. National, Defense, and Acquisition Communities, and you will conduct all-source analysis to identify, exploit, and assess potential threats, transfers, and vulnerabilities to defense supply chains.

You will be expected to communicate understanding from information that may be incomplete, indirect, highly complex, seemingly unrelated, and/or technically advanced. Structuring analysis based on trends in reporting and a range of analytic perspectives from other analysts, organizations, and intelligence disciplines will be crucial.
