Adversary Network Intelligence Analyst

MANTECH seeks a motivated, career and customer-oriented Adversary Network Intelligence Analyst to join our team USMC Team in Stafford, VA. In this role, you will apply specialized SIGINT and all-source network intelligence techniques to analyze, map, and evaluate foreign communications and adversary IT infrastructure, directly supporting tactical Marine Corps planners, defensive cyber teams, and strategic operations.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Adversary Network Mapping: Reconstruct complex, fragmented target networks and characterize logical/physical topologies, IP assets, domains, cloud services, and C2 nodes from diverse intelligence feeds.

• Vulnerability & Vector Identification: Identify ingress points, vulnerable interface nodes, and structural weaknesses across hardware, modems, fiber optics, and satellite links; evaluate adversary operational security (OPSEC) practices and evasion tactics.

• Multi-Source Intelligence Fusion: Correlate technical network telemetry with all-source intelligence (OSINT, SIGINT-derived insights, malware reporting) to build comprehensive assessments of adversary capabilities, intent, and infrastructure lifecycles.

• Red C2 & Threat Profiling: Conduct deep-dive analysis of foreign C2 systems, organizational hierarchies, and doctrine to help command elements predict how adversary leadership issues tactical directives.

• Finished Intelligence Production: Author timely, accurate intelligence products—including technical assessments, briefings, network diagrams, and threat reports—tailored for USMC intelligence officers, tactical planners, and strategic leadership.

• Operational & Tradecraft Support: Partner with cyber operators and collection managers to support targeting, disruption efforts, and collection refinement. Contribute to the development of analytical tradecraft, methodologies, and tools for large-scale network parsing.

• Proven capability in structured intelligence analysis (link analysis, pattern recognition) under Intelligence Community Analytic Standards.

• Practical experience with technical research tools (passive DNS, certificate transparency, WHOIS/RDAP, and network visualization platforms).

Preferred Qualifications:

• C2 & Red System Modeling: Deep knowledge of foreign C2 systems, military communication doctrines, and infrastructure correlation with specific intrusion sets or campaigns.

• Scripting & Data Enrichment: Working knowledge of scripting languages (Python preferred) to automate data enrichment and parse massive metadata sets.

• Frameworks & Disruption: Familiarity with the MITRE ATT&CK framework and experience supporting collection management, threat hunting, or takedown/disruption operations.
