Cryptologic Computer Scientist 3 with Security Clearance

About the role

The successful candidate will design, develop, deliver, and operate solutions to hard cryptologic computer science problems within a scientific framework. 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Design, develop, deliver, and operate solutions to hard cryptologic computer science problems within a scientific framework.
• Experience with Python, Spark/PySpark.
• Strong network and protocol analysis background.
• Familiarity with customer tools.

Requirements

• Doctoral degree plus 4 years of relevant experience.
• Master's degree with 6 years of relevant experience.
• Bachelor's Degree with 8 years of relevant experience.
• Associates degree with 10 years of relevant experience.
• 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 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.

Qualifications

• TS/SCI with polygraph is required.
