Digital Network Exploitation Analyst at 631 Booz Allen Hamilton_United States — McLean, VA

Digital Network Exploitation AnalystThe Opportunity:

Do you enjoy the thrill of the hunt? Are you motivated by the head-to-head challenge of gaining access to well-protected networks and equally driven to teach others how to do the same? As a network exploitation professional, you know that understanding adversaries’ tactics, techniques, and procedures is crucial to producing the intelligence that enables the success of mission owners. At Booz Allen, you can apply your vulnerability analysis, network mapping, RF engineering, exploitation, and telecommunications experience to shape the next generation of analysts, executing hands-on training that informs our nation’s most critical security missions.

On our team, you’ll be trusted to guide students as they probe targets using the latest network-based analysis tools and structures like Wireshark, DataXplorer, XKEYSCORE, Mando, and others. Using your innate curiosity, technical expertise, and passion for mentorship, you’ll teach others how to select attack vectors, map cellular and 5G infrastructure, and match target vulnerabilities to custom capabilities. You’ll guide defense and Intelligence Community (IC) learners by leveraging advanced SIGINT, protocol analysis, and forensic-based tools to analyze complex cyber environments and perform precise target development.

In this role, you’ll uncover previously unknown and emerging adversary capabilities that impact national security and global cyber operations by designing rigorous, hands-on technical curricula and emulating real-world threat environments in a live-tissue lab setting. As a leader and mentor, you will comfortably bridge the gap between complex network theory and tactical execution. With opportunities to expand both your own technology base and tool knowledge, you’ll guide a growing team committed to developing creative instructional and operational solutions for our classified customers.

Safeguard the future with us and develop the offensive cyber talent essential to providing national security for today and tomorrow.
