About The Position

Credence seeks a Space & Weapons Cryptographic Analyst to support Air Force cryptographic modernization efforts at Scott AFB, Illinois. The role helps identify capability gaps, assess vulnerabilities in COMSEC and cryptographic systems, and develop recommendations, requirements, and strategic plans for modernized solutions across air, ground, space, cyber, and weapons platforms. It also supports roadmap development, architecture and requirements documentation, compliance tracking, fielding strategies, and leadership briefings related to enterprise cryptographic modernization. The analyst evaluates proposed solutions for Space and Weapons systems, analyzes development and implementation, verifies that solutions meet identified needs, and reports deviations that could affect warfighters. The role also supports algorithm transitions and compliant hardware and keying-material transitions; conducts research and analysis on space platforms, ground communications systems, and munitions; evaluates vulnerable devices and algorithms; and provides TRANSEC analysis, recommendations, reporting, and guidance for Transmission Security Plans.

Requirements

Active TS clearance with SCI/SAP eligibility.
Demonstrated proficiency in Space COMSEC principles, including lifecycle management of cryptographic equipment from development and fielding through sustainment.
At least 2 years of hands-on cryptographic key-management experience, including ordering, generation, distribution, and destruction using systems such as KMI.
Comprehensive understanding of the strategic roles and operational responsibilities of Controlling Authorities and COMSEC account management.
In-depth knowledge of and experience with strategic-level NSA, DoD, and DAF security policies and procedures related to cryptographic and keying material, including classification guides for cryptographic algorithms, equipment, and COMSEC keying material.
At least 2 years of advanced staff experience planning, organizing, and negotiating effectively with cross-functional teams using TMT or other staff coordination standards, document reviews, program updates, and background papers to drive adoption of critical recommendations.
At least 2 years of advanced staff experience planning, organizing, and negotiating effectively with cross-functional teams to drive adoption of critical recommendations.

Responsibilities

Participate in meetings, progress reviews, integrated teams, and working groups.
Draft, edit, and review correspondence and documentation, primarily using Microsoft Office applications.
Provide information management, records management, scheduling, and meeting and conference support.
Prepare briefing and training materials, and present briefings and training.
Liaise and coordinate with personnel at all levels inside and outside the organization.
Identify new or evolving requirements and recommend integration approaches.
Support planning, programming, tracking, and financial execution.
Prepare information papers, point papers, background papers, and staff studies.
Analyze proposed solutions for Space and Weapons systems and assess their effectiveness in closing identified capability gaps.
Conduct analysis during Air Force development and implementation of cryptographic solutions, and provide data to the Government to verify solutions meet identified needs.
Evaluate solutions, implementation, and transition; report deviations from implementation plans that could affect warfighters; and assess implementations against current and potential future vulnerabilities.
Recommend approaches to CONAUTH and system users during algorithm transitions, periodically report transition status, and evaluate transition methods and implementation effectiveness.
Evaluate selected algorithm-compliant HAD; manage and report replacement or transition of HAD hardware and algorithm-compliant keying material on the cryptonet; and support cutover from legacy ECU and keying material.
Support HQ CCC Government personnel with analysis of Space platforms, ground communications systems, and munitions for DAF-supported platforms.
Analyze vulnerable cryptographic devices and algorithms, research potential solutions, and recommend a way ahead to the Government.
Conduct TRANSEC requirement reviews; provide analysis and recommendations; communicate mandate impacts; prepare reports for HQ CCC; and provide guidance and expertise for Transmission Security Plans.
