About The Role

Peraton is seeking a Cryptologist in our Linthicum, MD office in support of our Department of Defense (DoD) customer as part of a highly talented, highly motivated, and high-performing team. This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of cyber investigations, digital forensics, cyber threat analysis, and mission support in a dynamic and collaborative environment. The successful candidate will contribute to protecting national security interests by leveraging technical expertise, analytical skills, and innovative problem-solving to address complex cyber challenges. Individuals who are passionate about cybersecurity, committed to excellence, and eager to make a meaningful impact are encouraged to apply.

This highly analytical Cryptologist should specialize in data recovery and device access to directly support law enforcement, counterintelligence (CI) investigations, and digital forensic examiners. You will serve as a critical technical resource for investigative teams — recovering encrypted, deleted, and otherwise inaccessible data from seized devices and digital media encountered during active criminal and CI investigations. Core responsibilities include:

Decrypting encrypted data from mobile devices, computers, and storage media
Recovering deleted data not recognized by standard carving tools
Extracting data from flash memory chips with custom or proprietary file systems
Collaborating with digital forensic examiners to support evidence recovery from locked or damaged devices
Researching encryption implementations and storage architectures used in consumer and commercial devices to identify recovery pathways
Producing detailed technical reports documenting methodologies and findings suitable for federal court proceedings or intelligence products

This position requires full-time, onsite attendance Monday through Friday in the Baltimore metropolitan area.
