We’re partnering with a U.S.-based consulting firm specializing in highly technical defense and intelligence programs. With deep roots in national security, their teams support mission-critical cyber, R&D, and data operations across the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.

They are currently looking to bring on a Telecommunications Network Analyst to support cyberspace operations and advanced signals intelligence analysis. This role is ideal for professionals with a strong background in telecom and network infrastructure, network exploitation, and digital network intelligence. You’ll work directly with mission owners to enhance secure communications, uncover vulnerabilities, and contribute to strategic cyber efforts.

Position Overview

In this role, you’ll conduct in-depth technical analysis of telecommunications systems and networks. You’ll assess data flows, identify access points, and support offensive cyber missions by identifying weaknesses in communications infrastructure. The ideal candidate is a natural problem-solver who can operate independently in a high-security environment and clearly communicate technical findings.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct digital network analysis and exploitation to support mission objectives
  • Analyze telecom data flows and identify vulnerabilities across network layers
  • Assess and secure wired and wireless telecommunications infrastructures
  • Work with ports, protocols, routers, and switches to support mission-critical operations
  • Perform discovery analysis using signals intelligence methodologies and advanced tools
  • Support strategic cyber operations and collaborate with intelligence stakeholders
  • Assist in developing mitigation strategies and contribute to long-term network defense planning

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience designing, engineering, or administering wide-area telecom networks (wireline/wireless, circuit- or packet-switched)
  • Hands-on experience configuring and deploying network equipment (e.g., Cisco, Juniper, Huawei, routers, switches, fiber relays, ATM networks)
  • Strong understanding of OSI layers 1 and 2 and network infrastructure design
  • Experience with Computer Network Operations (CNO) processes
  • Knowledge of encryption techniques and network security frameworks
  • Background in signals intelligence or digital network intelligence
  • Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications, Networking, or a related technical discipline
  • Excellent analytical and communication skills
  • Active TS/SCI clearance (must have)

Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with signals intelligence (SIGINT) architecture and data flow
  • Proficiency in scripting languages like Python or C++
  • Experience with penetration testing tools and techniques
  • Previous collaboration with U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) partners
  • Strong understanding of IT logging practices and network security analysis
  • CCNA or equivalent industry certification
  • Ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical audiences

This is a fantastic opportunity to apply deep technical knowledge to work that directly supports national security missions. If you’re passionate about telecom systems, cyber defense, and intelligence innovation, this role offers real impact within a fast-moving and highly secure environment.
