Department Summary:

The MITRE Intelligence Center is seeking a Division Chief Engineer (CE) for the Global Intelligence Division (N970), focused on MITRE's Cryptologic, GEOINT, and Space sponsors. The CE reports to the Division Director for N970 and serves as the Division's senior technical leader, responsible for ensuring that MITRE delivers technically rigorous, high-impact solutions in support of the National Security Agency (NSA), the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and MITRE's National Space Program (NSP).

As the Division's highest-level technical authority, the CE is accountable for advancing N970's technical strategy and ensuring analytic, engineering, and test and evaluation excellence across all work programs. The CE applies deep technical expertise to shape MITRE's contributions to NSA, NGA, and space missions-driving quality, innovation, cross-INT integration, and enterprise-level impact. The CE is a core member of the Intelligence Center senior leadership team, partnering with the N970 Division Director and other technical leaders across MITRE to ensure the Division's work anticipates emerging mission challenges, leverages MITRE's cross-center capabilities, and delivers enterprise-level impact for cryptologic, GEOINT, space, and broader Intelligence Community (IC) sponsors.

The primary responsibilities of the position must be carried out in person at MITRE's Fort Meade site, Bedford campus and/or McLean campus. Applicants will establish a regular presence at NSA, NGA, National Space Program, and other sponsor locations, as well as MITRE locations with staff supporting those organizations, and must be available to travel to those locations on short notice.

This may entail frequent, flexible, or extended travel as mission and organizational needs dictate.
