Intrusion Analyst

Overview

Who We’re Looking For (Position Overview): We’re looking for an Intrusion Analyst to conduct intrusion-focused digital forensics across host and network evidence, reconstruct attack activity, and communicate findings that can stand up to investigative and legal scrutiny. This role is part of a digital forensics capability supporting complex cyber and computer intrusion cases. The ideal candidate is a disciplined examiner with strong technical depth, excellent documentation habits, and the ability to explain complex intrusion activity to non-expert audiences.

• Intrusion-Focused Forensic Analysis:
  Perform host- and network-based forensic analysis across Windows, Linux, macOS, and mobile platforms.
• Examine volatile memory, log exports, and pre-acquired datasets; identify IOCs and adversary TTPs; reconstruct timelines and scope.
• Tool-Driven Investigation & Automation:
  Use forensic and analysis tooling such as Magnet Axiom, X-Ways, FTK, Volatility, Splunk, ELK Stack, and open-source utilities.
• Apply scripting/automation (Python, Power Shell, Bash) to accelerate artifact parsing and correlation.
• Reporting, Testimony Readiness & Quality:
  Produce thorough documentation of findings and conclusions; communicate clearly for non-expert audiences.
• Successfully complete a mock examination and defend results in a practical courtroom exercise (Government-run).
• Operational Support:
  Support mission needs that may drive irregular hours and location-specific requirements depending on investigative activity.

• Citizenship & Clearance
• U.S. Citizenship required.
• Active TS clearance with SCI eligibility required.
• Digital Forensics Depth:
  Demonstrated experience with intrusion-focused forensic analysis across host/network artifacts and multiple OS platforms.
• Courtroom-Defensible Communication:
  Strong writing and verbal communication skills; ability to present findings clearly and defend methodologies.

• Experience supporting rapid response investigative operations that may require extended/irregular hours.
• Experience correlating enterprise telemetry sources (security device logs, captures, cloud logs) to identify persistence, escalation, lateral movement, and exfiltration.
