Acclaim Technical Services, founded in 2000, is a leading language and intelligence services company supporting a wide range of U.S. Federal agencies. We are an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) company, which is uncommon within our business sector. We see this as a significant strength and it shows: ATS is consistently ranked as a top workplace among DC area firms and continues to grow. We are actively hiring a Cryptologic Computer Scientist to join our Defense & Homeland Security Division on a newly awarded, 5-year contract based in the Fort Meade area. The FIRST of the Next Generation Analysis Contracts has been awarded. This multi-year contract needs you to fill positions as mathematicians, data scientists, engineers, collection managers and analysts. As a Cryptologic Computer Scientist, you will design, develop, deliver, and operate solutions to hard cryptologic computer science problems within a scientific framework. Solutions derived from forensics and attack attribution, protection or critical networks, active systems, knowledge discovery of passive and active systems, or other cryptologic computer science mission support. Requisite computer science skills (operating systems, compiler theory, databased theory, algorithm analysis, computer architecture, discrete math, programming language theory, and data structure) are applied to each problem to provide state-of-the-art techniques, tools and approaches. REQUIRED EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE * Must possess an active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph * Bachelor''s degree and two (2) years of relevant experience OR * Associate''s degree and four (4) years of relevant experience may be considered for individual with in-depth experience that is clearly related to the position. * Relevant experience must be in computer systems research; simulation/model development and prototyping; software design; programming; computational science; algorithm analysis and design; reverse engineering; and/or designing/developing computer or information systems, including engineering hardware and/or software. PREFERRED SKILLS * Note: Degree must be in Computer Science (CS). Related fields (e.g., Engineering, Mathematics) may be considered relevant if the programs contain, at minimum, a concentration of courses in the following foundational CS areas: algorithms; computer architecture (not network architecture); programming methodologies and languages; data structures; logic and computation; and advanced mathematics (for example, calculus, discrete mathematics). Information Technology (IT) or Information Systems (IS) degrees may be considered relevant if the programs contain the amount and type of coursework equivalent to a CS major.
