Technical Intelligence Engineer

MbSolutions•Huntsville, AL

About The Position

TEAMS Next is seeking a Technical Intelligence Engineer to support the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), working with agency developmental and test program personnel and the Intelligence Community (IC). The engineer coordinates across the agency and IC to analyze and obtain ballistic missile engineering data for threat development, testing, and modeling and simulations. The Intelligence Division serves as the conduit between the IC and MDA for intelligence-based technical information and coordinates MDA requirements with responsible IC entities, including NASIC, MSIC, ONI, and NGIC. It provides technical support for MDS threat development, testing, and modeling and simulations, as well as intelligence data engineering expertise and engineering and scientific support for complex developmental and operational MDA programs. The work typically involves engineering data related to foreign threat systems and integration into the MDA Threat Characterization Process. The role includes liaising with MDA and IC organizations, translating testing needs into IC Production Requests, supporting the Joint Threat Modeling Program (JTMP), managing SharePoint content across NIPR, SIPR, and JWICS networks, and facilitating technical interchange meetings and other inter-agency events. The position also applies systems engineering processes across a program’s acquisition life cycle.

Requirements

Active TS/SCI clearance.
BA/BS in a STEM field.
6–10 years of experience relevant to intelligence data engineering.
Familiarity with tools and methods for building threat models.
Knowledge of Kinematic, IR Plume, and/or IR Hardbody Signature Modeling.
Experience using, building, or managing databases.
Strong oral and written communication skills.

Nice To Haves

Understanding of MDA modeling processes and/or JTMP modeling processes.
Experience with large data/cloud environments and database administration.
Experience with the Intelligence Community.

Responsibilities

Provide liaison to the MDA IC, Missile Defense Data Center, and external agencies to produce and obtain technical data, briefings, reports, and assessments.
Translate MDA testing requirements into IC Production Requests (PRs) and define requirements for intended uses, ensuring IC-provided threat system information supports development of threat models for MDA tests and diverse end users.
Interface with MDA organizations, the Ballistic Missile Defense System Operational Test Agency (OTA) Team, and Intelligence Production Centers (IPCs), including NASIC, MSIC, ONI, and NGIC, to create MDA PRs for testing activities.
Support Joint Threat Modeling Program (JTMP) initiatives to develop improved, efficient, consistent processes and technical solutions for obtaining IPC-validated threat models for MDA events and exercises.
Support JTMP meeting planning, execution, and management, including agenda development, after-action reports, action items, IPC-specific JTMP Line of Effort status tracking, and distribution of documentation and data.
Execute SharePoint content management on NIPR, SIPR, and JWICS networks, including user permissions, notifications, site management, application pages, default preferences, and user functionality.
Keep SharePoint information organized and current; task and track actions, upload documents, and notify users of uploads.
Support technical interchange meetings with IC members, the MDS Operational Test Agency Team, and MDA personnel.
Facilitate, participate in, and report on meetings, conferences, symposia, and MDA and inter-agency working groups.
Execute engineering and scientific support on systems, system elements, interfacing systems, components, devices, and processes for complex developmental and operational weapon system programs.
Work independently, as a team member, or as a team/task lead to solve engineering and scientific problems.
Implement systems engineering “V” processes across a program’s acquisition life cycle.
