(DNEA) Digital Network Exploitation Analyst 3

Wyetech•Annapolis Junction, MD

About The Position

Wyetech is hiring a Digital Network Exploitation Analyst 3 to support intelligence and cybersecurity operations. The analyst evaluates target opportunities, analyzes network infrastructure and communications, and supports the development of exploitation and operational plans. The role uses SIGINT, cybersecurity information, all-source intelligence, and technical data to identify network relationships, assess traffic movement, and develop actionable intelligence insights across multiple layers of the OSI model. The analyst collaborates with government, military, contractor, and multidisciplinary technical personnel to address intelligence requirements, support mission planning and execution, and develop analytical tradecraft as technologies and mission needs evolve. Responsibilities also include selecting and applying analytical methods, correlating and enriching datasets, documenting findings and methodologies, and communicating technical assessments to intelligence consumers and other stakeholders. Candidates must meet an applicable education-and-experience equivalency: a doctoral degree with 4 years of relevant experience, a master’s degree with 6 years, a bachelor’s degree with 8 years, or an associate’s degree with 10 years. A high school diploma or GED is not accepted under the stated equivalency table. A degree in Computer Science or a related discipline is required, subject to the applicable equivalency; related coursework must include foundational Computer Science topics. Relevant experience must involve computer or information systems design, development, or analysis. Relevant military technical training may count toward experience, and equivalencies outside the established labor-category requirements are considered only on an exception basis. The position requires U.S. citizenship, an active TS clearance with customer-appropriate polygraph access, and eligibility to obtain and maintain all required program accesses. Wyetech is considering candidates with Conditional Certification of Access (CCA) and Full Scope Polygraph access. Positions support Maryland and Extended Enterprise locations; the appropriate work location must be identified on the Labor Category Verification template. Wyetech describes an employee experience that includes a company-funded SEP IRA contribution equal to 20% of gross compensation, fully vested from day one, and PTO of up to 200 hours annually. Full-time employees may participate in voluntary benefit plans. The posting lists an hourly pay range of $77.77–$90.71 and states that compensation varies based on factors including contract rates, education, experience, skills, certifications, and location.
