About The Position

Seize your opportunity to make a personal impact as a SIGINT Network Development (NetDev) Analyst (TS/SCI) supporting the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS). The USPIS is the law enforcement arm of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) and conducts criminal investigations concerning theft of mail, mail fraud, violent crimes, and the mailing of prohibited items. The Analytics Group (AG) Communications Support Unit (CSU) of the USPIS provides technical solutions and communications analysis in support of field investigations. A key CSU capability is live collection of communications and detailed analysis of data and records to advance criminal investigations. USPIS requires specialized personnel who can leverage modern communications environments to support criminal investigations against suspects who aim to do harm to the Postal Service, Postal employees, and Postal customers. The CSU specifically needs advanced analytical support to identify, track, and dismantle criminal networks utilizing the U.S. Mail to facilitate illicit activities, relying on Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Network Development (NetDev), and geospatial analysis in support of field operations and investigations. Conduct advanced SIGINT/COMINT and Network Development (NetDev) analysis in support of USPIS criminal investigations and operations. Perform Social Network Analysis (SNA) and target development to identify key actors, relationships, and vulnerabilities in criminal networks. Support tactical SIGINT operations and geo-location techniques in coordination with investigative personnel. Analyze multi-source communications data (telephony, mobile networks, IP-based communications, social media, and other digital platforms) to build network, pattern-of-life, and suspect profiles. Develop and maintain network diagrams, association charts, timelines, dashboards, and geospatial visualizations to support investigative strategy and case presentations. Design and execute complex analytic workflows using large, heterogeneous datasets; generate investigative leads and actionable intelligence for law enforcement personnel. Support lawful intercept and live-collection activities in accordance with applicable legal, policy, and privacy requirements. Collaborate with investigators, analysts, and technical staff to refine workflows, tools, and methodologies aligned with evolving communications technologies.
