About The Position

ECS is seeking a Technical SETA to work in our Arlington, VA office. Please
Note: This position is contingent upon additional funding.
ECS seeks a Technical Science, Engineering, and Technical Advisory (SETA)
candidate(s) to provide onsite support to DARPA's Strategic Technology Office
(STO). The selected candidate(s) will aid in the management and development of
programs in high-risk, high-reward research and development (R&D) projects. A
key element of this is proactive communication, both written and oral, with key
stakeholders including performers, supporting organizations, military transition
partners, and international collaborators. The candidate is expected to function
as part of a strongly collaborative scientific and technical team, but also to
act independently to complete time-critical tasks. The candidate must be
comfortable in working at security levels across the spectrum from unclassified
open discussion potentially with foreign nationals to collateral classified
programs with validated higher levels of need-to-know.
Tasks include scientific and technical analysis, development of broadly
understandable explanatory documentation for deeply technical programs,
monitoring of ongoing research and development programs, and reporting to office
leadership. This position includes identifying national security challenges and
participating in the development of portfolio-level strategies to address them.
