About Blackrock Strategy

Blackrock Strategy, Inc. (BrS) provides engineering, operational, analytical, and technical services supporting the Department of War, Intelligence Community, and commercial customers. Our teams support test and evaluation, experimentation, systems integration, operational planning, and technology transition across a broad range of national security programs.

Position Overview

Blackrock Strategy is seeking a Technical Analysis Specialist to provide advanced technical and analytical support to Task Force RAPTR technology experimentation and assessment activities.

This position serves as a technical lead for complex technology assessments, with emphasis on electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) analysis, threat-informed red teaming, quantitative analysis, and sustainment evaluation . The specialist will help ensure emerging technologies are evaluated against realistic operational requirements, threat environments, technical performance criteria, and transition considerations.

Working across engineering, operational, intelligence, and acquisition communities, this position supports rapid experimentation and defensible technology fielding decisions within the Buy-Try-Decide framework.

The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise, strong quantitative and problem-solving capabilities, and the ability to translate complex technical information into actionable findings for Government stakeholders and senior leaders.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct electromagnetic spectrum monitoring and analysis during experimentation and assessment events, including evaluation of RF performance, signal interference, LPD/LPI characteristics, EMCON compliance, and spectrum-management considerations.
• Lead threat-informed red teaming and vulnerability assessments to evaluate prototype systems against current and emerging operational, cyber, supply-chain, and security threats.
• Design and apply quantitative analytical methodologies to complex performance datasets and develop analytical tools, visualizations, and decision-support products.
• Provide technical and analytical support to experimentation teams, including statistical validation, performance analysis, Critical Operational Issue (COI)-aligned metrics, and Body of Evidence (BoE) development.
• Evaluate system reliability, availability, maintainability, and sustainment considerations to support technology transition and fielding recommendations.
• Coordinate with intelligence organizations, operational units, technical teams, and other stakeholders to develop realistic threat scenarios and operationally representative assessment environments.
• Provide specialized technical expertise across multidisciplinary assessment and Cross-Functional Analysis Teams (CFATs), supporting integrated assessment planning, execution, and analysis.
• Serve as a technical liaison with Government organizations, industry, academia, research laboratories, test facilities, and other mission partners.
• Develop and communicate technical findings, assessment results, and recommendations through analytical products, technical reports, briefings, and other decision-support materials.
• Support technical working groups, planning conferences, field experimentation events, and continuous improvement of experimentation and assessment methodologies.
