Requirements

• Doctoral Degree in Computer Science, Cyber Engineering, Information Systems/Information Technology, Education/Instructional Technology, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and eleven (11) years of experience OR Masters Degree and thirteen (13) years of relevant experience OR Bachelor's degree in a related field and fifteen (15) years of relevant experience OR Associate's degree (or 18 semester hours of military coursework/training in a related field) and seventeen (17) years of relevant experience OR High school diploma/GED and nineteen (19) years of relevant experience.
• Relevant experience includes Level 2 experience plus technical leadership for course content governance (standards, roadmap, review leadership), review of other content developers, and serving as senior SME interface to Government stakeholders for content decisions.
• Established senior technical credibility through sustained hands-on cyber work, advanced technical ownership, and successful resolution of complex problems.
• Senior expertise in one or more Section 2 domains plus sufficient cross-domain breadth/judgment to lead integrated work.
• Proven ability to figure things out independently: research unfamiliar behavior, create/test a technical model, isolate root cause, validate conclusions, and personally implement or lead the solution; reason from high-level behavior through OS/network/software/virtualization and, when required, low-level/kernel mechanisms.
• Lead through intent rather than detailed instruction: define approach, organize/direct work, make decisions, resolve blockers, and deliver outcomes; review/govern others' work, set standards, identify systemic issues, and decide under ambiguity.
• Mentor/lead technical personnel, including specialists deeper in narrow areas; clearly communicate risk, tradeoffs, recommendations, and decisions to technical/non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong training/assessment understanding to align technical activities to objectives and genuine proficiency measurement.
• Experience with version/configuration control, controlled change, secure handling, exam integrity.
• TS/SCI clearance preferred (NONE required for application).

Nice To Haves

• Prior operational CNO/CND experience, especially certified/formally qualified Exploitation Analyst (EA) or Interactive Operator (IO), or comparable hands-on operational work.

• Relevant technical certifications, advanced cyber training, operational mission experience, and demonstrable hands-on lab work.

Responsibilities

• Gather raw content for inclusion in relevant courses, ensuring it remains current with evolving tradecraft/tools and documenting technical impacts to training.
• Review storyboards to ensure content is reflected appropriately, maintain technical consistency across modules and labs, and identify systemic gaps for correction.
• Function as a Subject Matter Expert on mission/technical topics, answering questions from Instructional Designers and Graphic Artists, and serving as a senior technical escalation point for complex content issues.
• Lead technical content governance for assigned courses, including setting update priorities, defining technical standards, and ensuring consistency across releases.
• Review and approve technical accuracy of content packages before government submission, providing documented review notes and change summaries.
• Review work products for quality, completeness, and adherence to technical standards.
• Coordinate with CW/LMS/ID teams to ensure technically accurate updates are packaged, versioned, and ready for government approval and deployment.
• Author and update complete lesson/module content and lab/scenario technical requirements, ensuring content supports required tasks/skills.
• Perform work while leading developers/content/workstreams, accepting broad objectives and independently determining how work should be investigated, approached, organized, and executed.
• Investigate and troubleshoot difficult or unfamiliar issues using research, experimentation, packet/system analysis, debugging, environment reconstruction, and low-level reasoning.
• Decompose complex efforts, direct and coordinate contributors, set priorities, manage dependencies and risk, and make/defend decisions under ambiguous or competing requirements.
• Lead technical-content governance, including standards, practices, review expectations, roadmap input, quality controls, and consistency; validate others' work and identify bad assumptions, systemic gaps, risk, and inconsistencies.
• Serve as senior escalation for OS, networking, virtualization, software, exploitation, malware, packet, assessment-environment, or kernel-level problems; architect and guide complex environments spanning multiple technologies and behaviors.
• Lead and coordinate advanced exercises/assessments, including purpose-built artifacts, realistic behaviors, proficiency measures, and technical validation; use operational feedback, assessment/student data, and technical findings to direct improvements.
• Mentor CD1/CD2 staff and emerging leaders; lead sections/workstreams/technical efforts/reviews/temporary groups.
• Represent technical positions to Government/customer stakeholders and coordinate with testing, ISD, facilitators, engineering, QA/QC, and program leadership.
