Our employees solve the most daunting challenges our customers face every day, serving as a valued partner to essential government agencies and supporting every branch of the U.S. armed forces.
Peraton is seeking an experienced Senior Digital Forensic Analyst to support our marquee Federal Strategic Cyber program. This full-time, on-site role is based in Arlington, VA, within the Computer Investigations and Forensics Division (CIF).
The CIF recovers and analyzes digital evidence in support of criminal, cyber, and administrative investigations for the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Cyber and Technology Security Directorate. In this position, you will be the technical backbone of our Cyber Monitoring and Operations, Cyber Threat and Investigations, and Technology Innovation and Engineering teams. You will apply advanced digital forensics skills to solve complex investigative challenges, ensuring that all digital evidence meets Department of Justice court-admissibility standards.
Your day-to-day involves conducting forensic examinations of diverse digital media—from cellphones and tablets to cloud sources and removable storage—using advanced technologies and decryption methods. You will produce clear, comprehensive reports for investigators and prosecutors, and you may be called upon to provide expert witness testimony in federal, state, and local proceedings. Beyond the technical analysis, you will mentor new hires, conduct peer reviews to ensure quality, and stay current on emerging techniques in digital forensics and cybersecurity.
The application period for this role is estimated to be 30 days from the posting date, though this timeline may vary based on business needs and candidate availability. By applying, you express interest in the role and the Company. During the review process, selected candidates may be required to participate in an on-camera interview and a process to verify their identity.
