Cryptologic Technician

Job - Cryptologic Computer Scientist Level 2 Location: Fort Meade, MD - Day 1 OnsiteDescription:Design, develop, deliver, and operate solutions to hard cryptologic computer science problems within a scientific framework. The solutions may arise in the forms of forensics and attack attribution, protection of critical networks, active systems warnings, and indicators, active penetration into target systems, knowledge discovery of passive and active systems, or other cryptologic computer science mission support. Requisite computer science skills (operating systems, compiler theory, database theory, algorithm analysis, computer architecture, discrete math, programming language theory, and data structures) are applied to each problem to provide state-of-the-art techniques, tools, and approaches.ResponsibilitiesDesign, develop, deliver, and operate solutions to hard cryptologic computer science problems within a scientific framework.Provide solutions in the forms of forensics and attack attribution.Provide solutions for protection of critical networks.Provide active systems warnings and indicators.Conduct active penetration into target systems.Perform knowledge discovery of passive and active systems.Provide other cryptologic computer science mission support.Apply requisite computer science skills (operating systems, compiler theory, database theory, algorithm analysis, computer architecture, discrete math, programming language theory, and data structures) to each problem to provide state-of-the-art techniques, tools, and approaches.QualificationsExperience: A bachelor’s degree plus 5 years of relevant experience or a master’s degree plus 3 years of relevant experience or a Doctoral degree and 2 years of relevant experience.An associate degree plus 7 years of relevant experience may be considered for individuals with in-depth experience that is clearly related to the position.Education: Degree must be in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field with at least one programming and at least 4 upper-level math classes (Calculus and above).Relevant Experience: Relevant experience must be in a computer science area (i.e. theoretical or applied), simulation/model development, designing/developing/using/evaluating mathematic models, methods, and/or techniques (e.g. algorithm or development) computation science, algorithm analysis and design, reverse engineering, and/or designing/developing computer and information systems, including engineering hardware and/or software.Required SkillsOperating systems.Compiler theory.Database theory.Algorithm analysis.Computer architecture.Discrete math.Programming language theory.Data structures.Simulation/model development.Designing/developing/using/evaluating mathematic models, methods, and/or techniques (e.g. algorithm or development).Computation science.Algorithm analysis and design.Reverse engineering.Designing/developing computer and information systems, including engineering hardware and/or software.
