The explosion of the World Wide Web has created a need for the Computer Network Operations (CNO) mission. This very important mission is comprised of three major parts: network defense, network attack, and computer network exploitation. In order to carry out these functions NSA is looking for people who are highly skilled and impassioned about winning the war in cyberspace. These are NOT your average Computer Science or Engineering jobs! As a developer, you will work in the areas of secure system design, analysis, and tool/technique development in support of Computer Network Operations (CNO). CNO developers discover, create, design and deliver technology that will enable the CNO operators to carry out their missions. Tasks may include conducting comprehensive technology research, to evaluate potential problems in cyberspace systems. Other duties may involve developing unit and system tests to evaluate compliance with customer requirements. As a Developer, you will be part of a team tasked with delivering a revolutionary data collection and analysis system, analyzing user/customer requirements, building prototypes, Evaluate or test computer applications or programs to ensure compliance with technical, professional, or organizational standards/requirements, Analyze output of various processing and analysis programs/systems, including newly developed hardware and software (for example, beta testing), Identify new and existing products and technologies to solve design, development, and operational problems, and View computer screen continuously for two hours or more to name a few. . Qualifications Ideal candidates should possess a minimum of 2 years experience in one of the following areas listed below. If recent college graduates, experience via class projects or hands-on work should be in one of the following: - Electrical engineering - Computer Engineering - Computer Programming - software and computer languages. Includes writing code, debugging/testing programs, fixing syntax, correcting logic errors, and ensuring that programs meet technical requirements. - Networking Engineering - concepts, principles, theories, and methods for the design, development, analysis, testing, and securing of telecommunications and computer networks. - Network/Systems Exploitation - analyzing exploitation opportunities for Cryptologic systems and networks. - Systems Design and Engineering - the principles, methods, and tools for integrating components (for example, network equipment, protocols, telephony) into a functional system or prototype. - Software Development (principles, methods, and tools for designing, developing, and testing software). - Telecommunications - concepts, principles, and theories of transmissions, broadcasting, switching, control, construction, or operation of telecommunications systems. - Software Engineering - software engineering design and development methodologies, paradigms, and tools. Includes elements such as software life-cycles, reusability, and software reliability metrics. Ideal candidates should also possess a B.S. or MS in Computer Science, Mathematics or Engineering and Physical Science. Experience in one or more of the following is desired: - Programming experience (prefer C, C++, Java) - Knowledge of Network protocols (especially TCP/IP, VOIP, wireless protocols) - Understanding of Internet - Understanding of WAN and LAN - Database analysis and design - Vulnerability Analysis .
