Digital Forensic Examiner II
About the role
withcontaining that text (maybe trimmed). Should we include the mission statement? Yes. Next: "Job Responsibilities" then a long list of duties. We'll put under
Responsibilities
with- each duty. List items: - Utilize forensic knowledge to extract and analyze various electronic devices including but not limited to mobile phones, tablets, GPS equipment, and traditional desktop and laptop computers and hard drives. - Utilize various technical skills, including writing scripts, leverage different decoding / decryption techniques, and database / SQL skills, to analyze extracted data not readily supported by commercial forensic tools. - Validate digital forensic results generated by commercial forensic tools using a variety of methods and tools including the use of hex editors - Utilize forensic knowledge experience to perform data recovery in various file systems including NTFS, exFAT, APFS, HFS+. - Conduct research on emerging technologies to inform Laboratory policies and procedures in the proper seizure, preservation, and collection methods. - Write accurate and thorough reports following the standards and requirements of the Digital Forensics Laboratory. - Testify to forensic analysis, reports, and findings in Grand Jury and Trial proceedings. - Image digital storage devices and conduct a forensic examination of recovered data. - Participate in the execution of search warrants involving digital evidence retrieval and forensic examination of computers, mobile devices, and network media including video surveillance footage. - Serve as Subject Matter Experts to best guide ADAs and Investigators to properly seize, preserve, and collect digital evidence. - Provide guidance to junior Lab personnel in various data extraction techniques. - Perform case intake of devices received by the Lab by preparing new case files and chain of custody documentation. - Disassemble, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot computer hardware. - All other duties as assigned.

Next: "COMMUNITY COORDINATOR - 56058 Minimum Qualifications". This seems like a stray line maybe from another posting? Actually it's weird: "COMMUNITY COORDINATOR - 56058 Minimum Qualifications". Might be leftover from another job. But we need to preserve substantive info. The line appears before Minimum Qualifications heading. It might be a mistake; we should treat it as part of the posting? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So "COMMUNITY COORDINATOR - 56058" looks like a job title and ID from another posting; but it's in this posting maybe erroneously. We should treat it as minor metadata and drop it or fold into a short p. Since it's not relevant to the Digital Forensic Examiner II, we should drop it. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. But this line is not substantive for the role; it's likely a copy-paste error. Should we drop? Probably yes, as it's not relevant. We'll ignore it. Then "Minimum Qualifications" heading. We'll put under
Minimum Qualifications
withcontaining the text: "A baccalaureate degree from an accredited college and two years of experience in community work or community centered activities in an area related to the duties described above; or High school graduation or equivalent and six years of experience in community work or community centered activities in an area related to the duties as described above; or Education and/or experience which is equivalent to "1" or "2" above. However, all candidates must have at least one year of experience as described in "1" above." But note: This Minimum Qualifications seems to be for community work, not digital forensics. It's mismatched. However we must preserve it as it's in the posting. So include. Next: "Preferred Skills QUALIFICATIONS: -Bachelor’s Degree required (preferably in Computer Forensics, Computer Science, Computer Security, or Information Security) AND two (2) years professional digital forensic experience. Master’s Degree in Computer Forensics, Cyber Security can be used to substitute one (1) year of forensic experience. -Certified Forensic Examiners and applicants with experience performing forensic analyses using software such as Forensic Toolkit, Magnet Axiom/Internet Evidence Finder, Encase, Cellebrite, Xways, and similar software suites are preferred (please list certification type and date, or relevant experience on your cover letter and resume). -Proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, Access ability to update and edit existing databases. -Case tracking and Laboratory Information Management Systems experience is preferred. -Ability to work in a dynamic environment, prioritizing work, and balancing caseloads. -Ability to work independently and manage multiple short-term projects. -Ability to follow direction and apply proper policies, procedures, and guidelines. -Strong attention to detail and high concern for data accuracy. -Dependable team player who works collaboratively and cooperatively in a team-oriented environment. -Must be able to perform under pressure in a fast-paced environment with an ability to multitask. -Ability to interact with all levels of staff and law enforcement personnel. -Ability to work nights, weekends, and holidays when necessary to support the 24/7 nature of the Lab." We need to split into sections: Qualifications, Skills maybe. The heading "Preferred Skills QUALIFICATIONS:" suggests both. We could create a
Qualifications
for the degree/experience requirements, andSkills
for the abilities. But we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. It does. We need to decide how to split. The text includes bullet points starting with "-Bachelor’s Degree required..." etc. Some are qualifications (degree, experience, certification). Others are skills (proficiency in Word, Excel, Access, case tracking, ability to work dynamic, etc.). We'll separate. Thus:Qualifications
- Bachelor’s Degree required (preferably in Computer Forensics, Computer Science, Computer Security, or Information Security) AND two (2) years professional digital forensic experience.
- Master’s Degree in Computer Forensics, Cyber Security can be used to substitute one (1) year of forensic experience.
- Certified Forensic Examiners and applicants with experience performing forensic analyses using software such as Forensic Toolkit, Magnet Axiom/Internet Evidence Finder, Encase, Cellebrite, Xways, and similar software suites are preferred (please list certification type and date, or relevant experience on your cover letter and resume).
Skills
- Proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, Access ability to update and edit existing databases.
- Case tracking and Laboratory Information Management Systems experience is preferred.
- Ability to work in a dynamic environment, prioritizing work, and balancing caseloads.
- Ability to work independently and manage multiple short-term projects.
- Ability to follow direction and apply proper policies, procedures, and guidelines.
- Strong attention to detail and high concern for data accuracy.
- Dependable team player who works collaboratively and cooperatively in a team-oriented environment.
- Must be able to perform under pressure in a fast-paced environment with an ability to multitask.
- Ability to interact with all levels of staff and law enforcement personnel.
- Ability to work nights, weekends, and holidays when necessary to support the 24/7 nature of the Lab.
maybe under a generic section? There's no specific heading for Residency. Could add a
under maybe "Additional Information". But we have no heading for Additional Information unless we create a section. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Residency requirement is specific content. Could we add a
Residency
? Not in the list of allowed headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The allowed headings are those; we should not create other headings. So we must either fold it into an existing section or drop it. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a shortor drop it." Residency requirement is minor metadata; we can fold into a short
maybe under About the role or at end. Probably best to add a
after the sections, maybe under a generic "Additional Information" but not allowed heading. Could we treat it as part of "Requirements"? Not really. Could add a
after the sections without a heading? The instruction says output ONLY the HTML fragment; we can include
elements anywhere. It didn't say we must wrap everything in headings. So we can add a
for residency requirement without a heading. That seems okay. Next: "Additional Information The City of New York is an inclusive equal opportunity employer committed to recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce and providing a work environment that is free from discrimination and harassment based upon any legally protected status or protected characteristic, including but not limited to an individual's sex, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, gender identity, or pregnancy." This is boilerplate EEO; we must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So drop that. Finally: ", $97,593.00 – $97,593.00" This is pay range. It's a specific pay. So we need a Pay section. The posting includes pay. So we add
Pay
with$97,593.00 – $97,593.00
. Note it's a single value repeated; but it's still specific. We must not create Pay section unless posting actually states them; it does. Schedule: Not mentioned, so no Schedule section. Benefits: Not mentioned, so no Benefits section. Requirements: We have Minimum Qualifications
