Job description

BTS is seeking a cleared Electronics Exploitation Engineer to support customer operations at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. Position Description: The Electronics Exploitation Engineer (EEE) will provide forensics and exploitation support for the Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate (I2WD). The EEE will serve as the Subject Matter Expert in relation to the collection and handling of recovered electronic devices, ensuring that triage and technical exploitation (TECHEX) occur in accordance with organizational intelligence requirements. The EEE will also execute reach-back and coordination with OCONUS-based engineering staff, as needed. The EEE will be expected to generate forensics reporting from TECHEX-generated products and will respond to any associated analytical requirements. Responsibilities include installing, debugging, maintaining, and upgrading of all assigned equipment as well as provide broad mission support, training, briefings, employing and fielding of the TECHEX capability to include electrical forensics applications, tools, and systems. What Youll Get to Do: Provide hands-on technical forensic exploitation support for technical intelligence (TECHINT), media exploitation (MEDEX), cell phone exploitation (CELLEX), electronic exploitation (ELEX), and other unique exploitation missions. Conduct electronic analyses of target devices, including functional analyses of the target devices, understand and describe how the target functions from an electronic perspective basic signaling characteristics; voltage levels; electrical connections; electrical modifications to commercial-off-the shelf (COTS) hardware; logic states; operating frequencies; component configuration identification; operating profiles/modes; operation in noisy electromagnetic environments; and susceptibility. Serve as subject matter expert in RF characterization. Publish reports and briefings in order to present characterization information, electronics vulnerabilities, and exploitation recommendations. Work with a team to respond to RFIs and determine best consolidated solutions to problems.
