Job Requirements Kunia, HI Fort Meade, MD Draper, UT Top Secret/SCI Polygraph Unspecified Career Level not specified $50,460
- $133,142 Job Description Duties NSA's Linguists, known as Multidisciplined Language Analysts (MDLAs), are expected to take an inclusive approach to problem solving and mission accomplishment by frequently engaging with partners, enablers, and customers across the Intelligence Community.
LADP:
The LADP, which lasts up to three years, is designed to provide an intensive, accelerated opportunity to acquire the unique technical skills and experience needed to successfully apply knowledge and analytic ability to the SIGINT mission and help MDLAs achieve core analytic competencies in accordance with the Cryptologic Training System Training Standard and the MDLA competencies framework. The program includes 4-5 operational tours in a variety of offices, interspersed with formal classroom and computer-based training. These on-the-job operational tours are primarily focused on analyzing foreign language materials within the framework of the two main SIGINT disciplines of intelligence analysis- SIGINT reporting and SIGINT development.
- Please note that LADP does not teach a foreign language. Please ensure that your resume reflects your experience in/with the Chinese language. MDLAs are at the forefront of carrying out NSA's SIGINT mission, and they do so in a variety of ways:
- Offer U.S. policymakers and military leaders a window into the foreign language world by analyzing, transcribing, and translating key information.
- Research and understand other cultures, how they operate, and how they fit in the larger geo-political context.
- Apply new techniques and develop creative solutions to address analytic problems such as synthesizing large volumes of data and disparate sources of information.
- Demonstrate a firm understanding of communications and technology trends.
- Craft written and oral assessments that provide unique insights unavailable from other intelligence disciplines.
- Work independently and collaborate effectively (both within NSA and with other analysts in the Intelligence Community) in research, analysis, and reporting.
