Job Description:
Job Description: The client is seeking candidates to join a
highly successful team that has won and performed over $100 Million
of Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) work around the world for
more than 20 years. This challenging and exciting work will provide
you the opportunity to travel CONUS and OCONUS to the most
important DoD defense systems and critical infrastructure to ensure
the survivability of any threat or attack. This is an exciting
opportunity to experience travelling to destinations around the
world and protecting mission critical infrastructure. The Defense
Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), Nuclear Enterprise Support
Directorate (NE) performs integrated, multidisciplinary,
assessments that assess survivability of critical U.S. and allied
national/theater mission systems, networks, architectures,
infrastructures, and assets. Blue Team assessments teams aim to
ensure continuity to DoD missions and critical infrastructure by
assessing the vulnerabilities and survivability of these
infrastructure against a broad spectrum of threats including
accidents, natural disasters, technological failure, information
system attacks, terrorists, radio frequency weapons (RFW),
sabotage, and weapons of mass destruction (WMD). In order to ensure
continuity of DoD Missions and to maintain continuous operations of
critical infrastructure, it is imperative to have fully functional
Blue Teams (1) to conduct assessments; (2) to provide specific SME
assistance to Technical Support Projects (TSPs); (3) to provide
Design Review assistance; and (4) to provide technical assistance
to the Home Team. The size and skillsets of each team will vary and
include those required to execute each mission. The resource needs
of each mission and/or stakeholder requests will be identified and
managed by DTRA. Blue Team assessments include, but are not limited
to, examining surveillance operations, physical security,
telecommunications (e.g., video, voice and data, commercial and
military), information operations (e.g., computer networks, IA
tools use, operations security), structural protection and response
(to include blast effects modeling and consideration of
anti-terrorism/force protection standards), utility subsystems
(e.g., power and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
reliability and endurance), weapons of mass destruction protection,
emergency operations (e.g., emergency preparedness, fire
protection, emergency response, disaster control and recovery,
continuity of operations), and electromagnetic protection (e.g.,
electromagnetic pulse and radio frequency weapon susceptibility,
lightning protection). The Blue Team mission, by necessity, is
fluid and requires the teams operating within these environments to
be adaptable. The Electromagnetic Spectrum Specialist shall conduct
assessments of supporting Defense Critical Infrastructure to
identify vulnerabilities which can be exploited by the Unmanned
Aircraft System threats. The Electromagnetic Spectrum Specialist
shall apply radio frequency (RF) engineering principals to evaluate
spectrum dependent technologies and shall be familiar with a wide
variety of spectrum dependent systems including radars,
communications, data links, satellite communications (SATCOM), and
global positioning system (GPS) technologies. Additionally, the
specialist will need to determine root causes and recommend methods
of resolution and provide expert advice on the development,
integration, operation of and planning for spectrum specific
countermeasures. . Required Skills/Qualifications: Master of
Science degree in Physics; or related field of study with
demonstrable emphasis (academic or experience) in Electromagnetic
Theory. Minimum Clearance Required to Start: Top Secret SCI
