The ideal candidate brings established Intelligence Community experience, a record of technical or analytical leadership, and a passion for advanced scientific problem solving across the full PIR mission lifecycle — from collection requirements and tasking through data production, exploitation, technical analysis, analytic reporting, and the development and evaluation of new collection and processing capabilities. Successful candidates may support operational collections, R&D collection campaigns, Phase 1–3 analysis, laboratory and test-range activities, data-quality assessment, signature development, technical intelligence production, and the transition of new analytical methods into operational use.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\n \u003Cstrong>\n What You'll be Owning\n
