About the role
Tensley Consulting is seeking a FISINT Signals Analyst to support signals analysis activities focused on internally generated signals and telemetry from foreign systems. The FISINT Signals Analyst performs analysis of internally generated signals, telemetry, and data streams to characterize the operation, configuration, and behavior of foreign systems. The analyst ingests, decommutates, parses, validates, and interprets telemetry and related data to produce decision-quality intelligence. The FISINT Signals Analyst analyzes telemetry structures, scaling, units, operational modes, events, and system states. The role develops and maintains telemetry dictionaries, data definitions, and analytic documentation to support reproducibility and traceability.
education/experience
Bachelor’s degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related STEM discipline from an accredited college or university is required. Eight (8) years of experience supporting signals analysis, telemetry analysis, or related technical intelligence analysis is required. Six (6) years of experience may be accepted with a Master’s degree in a related technical discipline. Twelve (12) years of relevant experience may be substituted in place of a degree.
Qualifications
Experience performing analysis of internally generated signals, telemetry, or data streams to characterize system configuration, behavior, performance, or operational state Experience supporting telemetry ingestion, decommutation, parsing, validation, and interpretation across one or more foreign system types Experience identifying and interpreting telemetry fields, bit structures, packet formats, scaling factors, units, and modes of operation Experience developing and maintaining telemetry dictionaries, data definitions, interface control documentation (ICDs), or analytic reference materials Experience reconstructing system events, timelines, operational modes, or state transitions using internal signal data Experience supporting validation and quality control of internal signal data, including anomaly identification and resolution Experience developing, adapting, or using specialized tools, scripts, or automation supporting internal FISINT analysis Experience documenting analytic methods, assumptions, uncertainties, and results to ensure traceability and reproducibility
Desired Skills Experience supporting Department of Defense (DoD) or Intelligence Community (IC) programs Experience supporting signals intelligence or technical intelligence analysis activities Experience analyzing telemetry or internally generated system signals from complex technical systems Clarifying Note: Experience in telemetry collection, data transport, or processing may contribute to overall experience but does not replace required internal signal analytic expertise.
