If you have strong analytical skills and a problem-solving mindset, we have an opportunity to use those skills to protect our national security.

As technical editor on our team, you’ll be responsible for reviewing and revising intelligence or communication products and other documents prepared by DoD analysts for publication. The technical editor works with primary authors to edit/rewrite products for organization, grammar, style, accuracy, consistency of technical data, etc. Advises management and analysts with expert technical knowledge of the DIA Style Guide. The ability to operate on short timelines, flexibility, and excellent oral and written communications skills are a must. At the discretion of the Division Chief, technical editor is assigned to support crisis management operations, edit desk notes for the senior leaders, and review products for dissemination to partner services. This is a chance to grow your expertise, develop new skills, and share your methodologies with other analysts.
