Originally established in 1957 in a highly classified effort to understand the Soviet missile threat, PWW remains an integral and recognized part of the intelligence community. The United States Space Force (USSF) is the first US military force founded during the digital age. The evolution from the USAF document-based engineering paradigm to the USSF digital engineering paradigm requires new innovations and bold actions. The Intelligence Innovation group within PWW is developing ground-breaking tools and techniques to enable acquisition programs, space operations, and wargamers access to threat data in the digital engineering environment. This will guarantee that decision makers will have comprehensive evergreen counterspace threat intelligence data in order to successfully outpace the threat when constrained by cost and size, weight, and power (SWAP). Additionally, the Intelligence Innovation group develops Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) tools to aid intelligence analysts and provide key insights for space and technical intelligence analyses. This group is designed to be agile to meet the needs of the organization. This position will be located at Los Angeles Air Force Base.What You'll Be Doing- Work within a small team of innovators developing a Threat-as-a-Service (ThaaS) capability for the USSF which involves database architecting and wrangling.
