Electronics Exploitation Engineer - BTS Software Solutions

BTS is seeking a cleared Electronics Exploitation Engineer to support customer operations at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland.

Position Description:

The Electronics Exploitation Engineer (EEE) will provide forensics and exploitation support for the Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate (I2WD).

The EEE will serve as the Subject Matter Expert in relation to the collection and handling of recovered electronic devices, ensuring that triage and technical exploitation (TECHEX) occur in accordance with organizational intelligence requirements. The EEE will also execute reach-back and coordination with OCONUS-based engineering staff, as needed.

The EEE will be expected to generate forensics reporting from TECHEX-generated products and will respond to any associated analytical requirements. Responsibilities include installing, debugging, maintaining, and upgrading of all assigned equipment as well as provide broad mission support, training, briefings, employing and fielding of the TECHEX capability to include electrical forensics applications, tools, and systems.

What You’ll Get to Do:

• Provide hands-on technical forensic exploitation support for technical intelligence (TECHINT), media exploitation (MEDEX), cell phone exploitation (CELLEX), electronic exploitation (ELEX), and other unique exploitation missions.
• Conduct electronic analyses of target devices, including functional analyses of the target devices, understand and describe how the target functions from an electronic perspective – basic signaling characteristics; voltage levels; electrical connections; electrical modifications to commercial-off-the shelf (COTS) hardware; logic states; operating frequencies; component configuration identification; operating profiles/modes; operation in noisy electromagnetic environments; and susceptibility.
• Serve as subject matter expert in RF characterization.
• Publish reports and briefings in order to present characterization information, electronics vulnerabilities, and exploitation recommendations.
• Work with a team to respond to RFI’s and determine best consolidated solutions to problems.
• Design and implement characterization standard operating procedures (SOPs) and implement SOPs in daily functions.

You’ll Bring These Qualifications:

• Must possess an active TS/SCI.
• BA/BS in Electrical Engineering and 3 years’ experience (OR) Associates degree and 5yrs experience
• An understanding of RF communications, with a particular emphasis on complete characterization of electronic circuits.
• Extensive experience in electronics engineering.
• Experience using benchtop RF equipment including Signal Generators, Spectrum Analyzers, Oscilloscopes, and other equipment.
• Perform standard RF measurements (e.g. occupied bandwidth, average power, pulse width) using the previously listed test equipment.
• Experience in synthesizing and generating various types of RF waveforms using an arbitrary waveform generator.
• BS in Electrical Engineering desired.
• Previous experience working in OCONUS DoD forensic exploitation labs, to include FXL-C and ACME Labs desired.
• Experience in reverse engineering electronic devices from start to finish desired.
• Experience in reverse engineering electronic components and circuit boards desired.
• Experience supporting exploitation and modeling and simulation tool development desired.
• Working knowledge of software-defined radios (SDR), such as the Ettus B210 and x310. Able to interface with such units in order to transmit or receive RF signals desired.
• Basic MATLAB (and other basic programming/scripting) skills, should be able to apply digital signal processing techniques to communication signals. Techniques include digital filtering, sample rate conversion, frequency/phase estimation, demodulation, carrier recovery, timing recovery, channel equalization, pulse shaping, and forward error correction desired.
• Experience working with embedded systems such as Arduino and writing programs leveraging the SPI bus to configure and analyze various chipsets desired.
• Previous OCONUS deployment experience desired.
