You'll be instrumental in delivering cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and advanced analytics capabilities, enhancing the intelligence prowess of the U.S. and its allies. Your work will directly support the unification and operationalization of AI across the Defense Intelligence Enterprise, facilitating Joint All-Domain Operations (JADO) by enabling rapid decision-making and seamless information sharing, ultimately providing crucial warfighting advantages.

If you're eager to contribute to a growing team that's shaping the future of defense intelligence, apply today! The primary place of performance will be at DIA Facilities across the National Capital Region (NCR), including Reston, VA, Washington D.C. and Bethesda, MD. This position is contingent upon the OBIQUA Contract Award.

What you will do

• Proactively identify, monitor, and assess nascent and rapidly evolving technologies (e.g., Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Quantum Computing, Advanced Materials, Biotechnology, Hypersonics, Advanced Cyber Capabilities, Space Technologies, etc.) with the potential to significantly alter the geopolitical, security, or economic landscape
• Conduct in-depth technical analysis of EDTs, including their underlying principles, development trajectories, technological readiness levels (TRLs), potential applications (both civil and military/dual-use), and limitations
• Analyze how foreign adversaries and non-state actors are developing, acquiring, or exploiting EDTs to advance their objectives, create asymmetric advantages, or pose new threats
• Develop comprehensive assessments and forecasts on the strategic, operational, and tactical implications of EDTs for the organization, its partners, and national interests. This includes assessing potential disruption, opportunities for innovation, and areas of vulnerability
• Produce high-quality, actionable intelligence products such as strategic assessments, threat reports, technology forecasts, and policy briefs for diverse audiences, including senior leadership, policy makers, technical experts, and operational units
• Develop and implement advanced methodologies, analytical frameworks, and leverage specialized tools (e.g., scientific literature databases, patent analysis software, technical OSINT tools, specialized analytical platforms) for EDT intelligence collection and analysis
• Establish and maintain robust networks with leading researchers, academics, industry experts, and counterparts across the intelligence community, both domestically and internationally. Represent the organization at relevant conferences, workshops, and forums
• Identify intelligence gaps related to EDTs and formulate precise collection requirements to address those gaps across various intelligence disciplines
• Contribute to the quantitative and qualitative assessment of risks and opportunities associated with EDTs, providing data-driven insights for decision-making
• Serve as a subject matter expert and mentor to junior analysts, fostering a culture of technical literacy and foresight within the intelligence community
• Additional duties as assigned or required

• Strong ability to anticipate future technological developments and their potential long-term impacts, including second and third-order effects
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate highly technical concepts into clear, concise, and compelling intelligence products for non-technical audiences, including senior decision-makers
• Proficiency in conducting extensive technical research, data analysis, and using analytical tools
• Proven ability to work effectively in a collaborative, interdisciplinary team environment
• Highly motivated, intellectually curious, and adaptable to rapidly changing technological and threat landscapes
• Clearance: Must possess and maintain a TS/SCI with a current Poly

Bonus points for...

• Bachelors with 8 years of experience 
• Recent applicable experience within the last 2 years 
• Demonstrated expertise in at least two or more key emerging technology domains (e.g., AI/ML, Quantum, Biotech, Cyber, Space, Hypersonics, Advanced Computing, etc)
• Publications or presentations on emerging technologies and/or their strategic implications
• Familiarity with intelligence frameworks (e.g., IC ITE, PAI, HUMINT, SIGINT, MASINT, GEOINT)
• Experience with patent analysis, scientific literature review tools, and open-source intelligence (OSINT) methodologies for technical intelligence
• Strong understanding of geopolitical dynamics and their intersection with technological advancements
