About The Position

Wyetech is hiring a Target Network Analyst to support intelligence and cybersecurity operations by evaluating target opportunities, analyzing network infrastructure, and developing exploitation and operational plans. The role analyzes SIGINT, cybersecurity, and other technical intelligence across multiple layers of the OSI model to identify network relationships, understand traffic movement, and produce actionable intelligence. The analyst collaborates with government, military, contractor, and other technical personnel to support intelligence requirements, mission planning, and operational execution, while developing and documenting analytical tradecraft as technologies and mission needs evolve. Candidates must meet the stated education and relevant-experience equivalency: a doctoral degree plus 4 years, a master’s degree plus 6 years, a bachelor’s degree plus 8 years, or an associate’s degree plus 10 years. A degree in Computer Science or a related discipline is required, subject to the applicable equivalency. Relevant experience must involve computer or information systems design, development, or analysis. Relevant military technical training may count toward experience; for example, completion of the 24-week Joint Cyber Analysis Course may be credited as six months. Exceptions to the established equivalencies may be considered. The position requires U.S. citizenship, an active TS/SCI clearance, qualifying CI Polygraph/Conditional Certification of Access (CCA) or a Full Scope Polygraph, and eligibility to obtain and maintain required program accesses. Positions support Maryland and Extended Enterprise locations; the appropriate work location must be identified on the Labor Category Verification template. The listed hourly pay range is $64.35–$81.33; actual compensation may vary based on contract rates, qualifications, experience, skills, certifications, and location. Wyetech describes its culture as award-winning and focused on solving problems for federal government customers. Benefits include an automatic employer contribution of 20% of gross compensation to a SEP IRA, with no employee match required and immediate full vesting; up to 200 hours of annual PTO; and, for full-time employees, optional medical, vision, dental, life, disability, and other voluntary insurance plans. Additional offerings include referral bonuses, mobility among supported contracts, team-building events, and two complimentary branded clothing orders each year.
