Digital Forensic Engineer
Salary: $56,996 - $119,794
Digital Forensic Engineers (DFE) are energetic and enthusiastic computer or engineering professional who enjoys tackling hard challenges, are obsessed with learning about the newest technologies as they emerge, and love it when no two days of work are ever the same. A day in the life of a Digital Forensic Engineer (DFE) can range from: analyzing data from an ongoing sophisticated cyber-attack, to providing time critical information to policy makers on threat mitigations for the newest zero day, or researching and understanding new file formats, mobile devices, and storage devices.
DFEs focus on the Agency's toughest technology challenges and cyber threats. They scientifically research, collect, process, analyze and present findings in support of vulnerability mitigation, data recovery, and assessing and identifying malicious behaviors within digital datasets. While DFEs are expected to perform analysis in such a way as to maintain the integrity and objectivity of the forensic process, exhibiting innovation and creativity in problem solving strategies is highly encouraged. DFEs also write scripts/code to help develop new information recovery techniques and threat identification methods.
