Cybersecurity, SI, and Emerging Technology S&T Analyst

The Cybersecurity, SI, and Emerging Technology S&T Analyst will provide technical and analytical support to DoD and DoN S&T activities. This role focuses on identifying, assessing, maturing, and transitioning emerging cybersecurity and superintelligence (SI) technologies to meet operational needs and S&T requirements, including risks, dependencies, and integration considerations.

Role Overview

Support Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of the Navy (DoN) S&T efforts by evaluating cybersecurity technologies and SI-enabled capabilities. Work includes analyzing technical approaches, vulnerabilities, architectures, and emerging methods, and translating findings into assessment and decision-support artifacts for S&T leadership and stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide technical and analytical support to DoD and DoN S&T activities focused on identifying, assessing, maturing, and transitioning emerging cyber, information, and superintelligence (SI) technologies
• Evaluate cybersecurity technologies, SI-enabled capabilities, technical architecture, vulnerabilities, and emerging technical approaches against operational needs and S&T requirements
• Research and analyze emerging technologies to identify risks, capability gaps, technical dependencies, potential operational applications, and integration opportunities within current and future Navy systems and architectures
• Assess SI-enabled technologies, including generative SI, SI agents and agentic workflows, and automation approaches for collecting, analyzing, synthesizing, and organizing complex technical information
• Support evaluation of potential benefits, limitations, cybersecurity implications, data dependencies, integration considerations, validation requirements, traceability, and appropriate human oversight for SI-enabled capabilities in DoD and Navy environments

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Information Assurance, Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline
• CompTIA Security+ certification
• ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) certification
• CompTIA Network+ certification
• CompTIA PenTest+ certification
• Working knowledge of cybersecurity principles, including defense-in-depth, least privilege, identity and access management, authentication, network security, vulnerability management, and security controls
• Knowledge of network technologies and protocols, including TCP/IP, DNS, ports and protocols, subnetting, and firewall concepts
• Experience or demonstrated proficiency with cybersecurity assessment and analysis tools such as Nmap, Nessus/OpenVAS, Wireshark, Kali Linux, Metasploit, Wazuh, Splunk, or comparable technologies
• Familiarity with NIST cybersecurity frameworks, security controls, vulnerability identification, CVE/CVSS analysis, and cybersecurity risk assessment methodologies
• Demonstrated understanding of artificial intelligence, generative AI, AI-enabled automation, and AI agent or agentic workflow concepts, including evaluating potential applications of AI to technical research, analysis, cybersecurity, and information-processing activities
• Ability to design or support AI-enabled workflows that collect, organize, analyze, synthesize, and generate structured outputs from complex technical information and source documentation
• Ability to evaluate AI-enabled capabilities from both technical utility and cybersecurity or risk perspectives, including data quality, validation, traceability, security, integration, and human oversight
• Ability to translate cybersecurity, AI, and emerging-technology findings into clear technical assessments, reports, recommendations, and S&T decision-support artifacts
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to S&T leadership, engineers, program offices, technical performers, operational stakeholders, and transition partners

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing, configuring, testing, or evaluating AI agents, generative AI workflows, or AI-assisted research and analysis capabilities
• Experience applying AI to technical research, document analysis, information synthesis, compliance analysis, reporting, or decision-support activities
• Experience conducting or supporting vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, network analysis, security monitoring, or cybersecurity risk assessments
• Experience developing technical documentation associated with technology evaluation, experimentation, testing, implementation, cybersecurity risk, AI capability assessment, or transition readiness
• Familiarity with DoD or DoN S&T, acquisition, engineering, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, or technology-transition environments
• Knowledge of SIEM technologies and security monitoring, including log collection, alert analysis, attack detection, and security-event investigation
• Ability to assess emerging technologies for technical maturity, mission relevance, cybersecurity risk, integration feasibility, and transition potential
