You will deliver high‑level analysis across specialized forensic applications, conduct functional systems analysis, design advanced capabilities and workflows, and prepare technical reports that support critical investigative needs.

Work location: Work is mostly remote, with occasional visits to customer and/or corporate locations in DC/Northern Virginia. Applicants who do not currently reside within commuting distance to these locations should describe how they would satisfy any onsite requirements. Remote status is subject to change at the customer’s direction, but is expected to continue.

Prepare detailed forensic reports, visualizations, presentations, and investigative documents suitable for legal and intelligence proceedings.
Train and mentor investigators, analysts, and mission partners on forensic methodology, digital‑evidence handling, and investigative best practices.
Develop, deliver, and lead formal training events for government and cross‑agency partners.
Contribute to forensic readiness, capability maturation, and mission‑focused innovation efforts.

Required Qualifications:

At least 5 years of relevant digital‑forensic experience supporting federal investigations, incident response, evidentiary workflows, and cross‑agency operations with extensive knowledge of field concepts, practices, and procedures.
Bachelor’s degree in Digital Forensics, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or related field.
Hands‑on expertise with mobile device forensics and computer forensics.
Demonstrated experience conducting memory forensics, disk forensics, or malware triage.
High proficiency with forensic platforms such as EnCase, AXIOM, X‑Ways, Cellebrite, or related enterprise tools.
