Cybersecurity, SI, and Emerging Technology S&T Analyst

EOE Statement We are an equal employment opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status or any other characteristic protected by law.

The Cybersecurity & Emerging Technology Science and Technology (S&T) Analyst provides technical and analytical support to Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of the Navy (DoN) S&T activities focused on identifying, assessing, maturing, and transitioning emerging cyber, information, and superintelligence (SI) technologies. The analyst evaluates cybersecurity technologies, SI-enabled capabilities, technical architecture, vulnerabilities, and emerging technical approaches against operational needs and S&T requirements.

The position requires knowledge of network security, vulnerability assessment, identity and access management, cybersecurity frameworks, penetration testing principles, and applying AI and automation to technical and mission-focused problems.

The analyst researches and analyzes emerging technologies to identify risks, capability gaps, technical dependencies, potential operational applications, and integration opportunities within current and future Navy systems and architectures. This includes evaluating SI-enabled technologies, generative SI, SI agents and agentic workflows, automation approaches, and using SI to collect, analyze, synthesize, and organize complex technical information. The analyst supports assessment of potential benefits, limitations, cybersecurity implications, data dependencies, integration considerations, validation requirements, traceability, and appropriate human oversight associated with SI-enabled capabilities in DoD and Navy environments.
