Job description
Title: Adversary Timing Analysis Engineer / Analyst
Position Summary
KBR is seeking a highly qualified Adversary Timing Analysis Engineer/Analyst to support intelligence assessments of foreign timing technologies, architectures, and capabilities that enable military, civil, commercial, and critical infrastructure operations. The successful candidate will analyze foreign timing ecosystems, including atomic clocks, frequency standards, timing distribution networks, resilient timing architectures, and Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) systems. The analyst will evaluate adversary capabilities to generate, distribute, maintain, and protect precise timing while assessing associated dependencies, vulnerabilities, and modernization efforts. This position directly supports national-level intelligence production and provides critical insights into foreign capabilities that underpin communications, navigation, weapon systems, financial networks, power grids, space systems, and command and control infrastructures.
Key Responsibilities
Conduct technical intelligence analysis of foreign timing systems, capabilities, and supporting technologies.
Assess adversary development and employment of atomic clocks, frequency standards, precision oscillators, timing sources, and synchronization technologies.
Analyze timing architectures supporting military, commercial, and critical infrastructure applications.
Evaluate timing resiliency strategies, backup timing capabilities, and alternative PNT solutions.
Characterize foreign efforts to improve timing accuracy, stability, availability, and continuity.
Assess dependencies between foreign timing capabilities and navigation, communications, cyber, space, and command-and-control systems.
Analyze vulnerabilities, limitations, and potential failure points within adversary timing architectures.
Track foreign research, development, testing, acquisition, and deployment of advanced timing technologies.
Integrate intelligence reporting, open-source information, technical measurements, and scientific literature into comprehensive assessments.
Produce high-quality intelligence reports, technical papers, capability assessments, and executive briefings.
Collaborate with engineers, scientists, intelligence analysts, and operational stakeholders across the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.
Support future capability forecasting and technology trend analysis related to timing and PNT systems.
