In this position you will support the development of analytic strategies to resolve key intelligence questions of mission-driven requirements. Analytic Methodologists will support a dynamic Object-Based Intelligence (OBI) program focused on predictive analytics, structured methodologies, and semantic integration across the defense intelligence mission set. This role involves designing and recommending analytic strategies, developing repeatable workflows, and engineering knowledge models to support anticipatory intelligence across a wide range of national security domains—including emerging technologies, geopolitical trends, military capabilities, and threat networks. Responsibilities Deconstruct complex and ambiguous intelligence questions to recommend structured analytic methodologies tailored to mission requirements. Evaluate and adapt existing analytic models, algorithms, and frameworks to improve objectivity, completeness, and predictive value of intelligence production. Design, develop, and maintain domain-specific ontologies to enable semantic representation of data inputs, facilitating integration of data sources and interoperability with internal and external OMSs.
