Cryptologic Computer Scientist 2

Sentar•Fort Meade, MD

About The Position

Sentar is seeking a Cryptologic Computer Scientist to design, develop, deliver, and operate solutions to complex cryptologic computer science problems within a scientific framework. The role involves developing solutions based on forensics and attack attribution, helping protect critical networks and active systems, and conducting knowledge discovery of passive and active systems or providing other cryptologic computer science mission support. The successful candidate will apply computer science skills—including operating systems, compiler theory, database theory, algorithm analysis, computer architecture, discrete mathematics, programming language theory, and data structures—to develop state-of-the-art techniques, tools, and approaches. The position requires access discovery and enablement experience, familiarity with analytic modernization tools, and experience automating and scripting with Python and Jupyter Notebooks. C++, mobile app analysis, and CNO experience are preferred.

Requirements

Active TS/SCI with Poly clearance.
A relevant degree and experience: a master's degree with 3 years, a bachelor's degree with 5 years, or an associate degree with 7 years of relevant experience.
Degree must be in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field, and include at least one programming course and at least four upper-level math classes (Calculus and above).
Relevant experience must be in a computer science area (theoretical or applied), simulation/model development, designing, developing, using, or evaluating mathematical models, methods, or techniques (such as algorithm development), computational science, algorithm analysis and design, reverse engineering, or designing and developing computer and information systems, including hardware or software engineering.
