Electronics Technician

The Opportunity:

As an Electronics Technician specializing in drone forensics, you will play a vital role in supporting law enforcement and national security investigations involving unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Leveraging advanced forensic techniques and analytical expertise, you will uncover, preserve, and interpret digital evidence from drones and their associated technologies to generate actionable investigative intelligence. By combining technical expertise with investigative insight, you will help transform complex digital evidence into meaningful information that supports critical decision-making and advances mission objectives. This role is ideal for a highly analytical professional who is passionate about emerging technologies, thrives in complex investigative environments, and is driven by a commitment to uncovering the facts behind sophisticated incidents.

In this position, you will move beyond traditional “push‑button” forensics and into an environment designed for deep technical exploration. You will have the time, resources, and specialized toolsets needed to develop new capabilities, reverse‑engineer electronic systems, and uncover artifacts that others overlook. Working alongside a multidisciplinary team of investigators, engineers, and mission partners, you will contribute to the full lifecycle of forensic analysis, from initial acquisition and triage to vulnerability assessment and capability development. Your work will support both warfighter and law enforcement operations, helping to identify threats, understand adversary capabilities, and develop new methods to exploit and analyze emerging technologies.

Joining our team means stepping into a high‑visibility, high‑impact role where your technical skill is valued and your professional growth is prioritized. You will leverage industry‑leading forensic platforms, custom hardware solutions, and optimized lab environments to perform electronic data recovery, device exploitation, and in‑depth digital examinations tied to real-world cases. This is an opportunity to expand your expertise exponentially while contributing to investigations that protect communities and strengthen national security. If you are ready to apply your forensic talent to meaningful missions and push the boundaries of what is possible in digital investigations, we invite you to join us.
