Overview

Bring your hands-on GALE experience to a role where you directly influence how the enterprise uses the platform. BigBear.ai is seeking a Senior/Principal-level Intelligence Analyst to support GALE (Generic Area Limitation Environment) users across the DoD/IC. You’ll sit at the intersection of mission analysts and software developers—validating GALE outputs, testing new capabilities, translating analyst needs into actionable improvements, and supporting training/adoption.

This is a mission-enablement role for someone who has used GALE in real workflows and wants to make the tool better for the community.

What You Will Do

Validate GALE analytic outputs: Evaluate GALE autocorrection and related tool outputs for quality, tradecraft alignment, and analytic usability; document findings and recommend improvements.
Drive workflow improvements: Translate GALE user needs into clear feedback (use cases, workflow steps, acceptance criteria) for developers and product stakeholders.
Test new GALE features/releases: Conduct hands-on testing to confirm new functionality supports operational analytic workflows; provide actionable defect reports and enhancement recommendations.
Support training/adoption: Partner with GALE training specialists to improve training materials and procedures; occasionally assist with user training or capability briefs.
Develop analytical examples: Create exemplar analytical products/workflows that demonstrate best practices and improve enterprise consistency and mission outcomes.

What You Need To Have

SIGE certifications: SIGE3120 and/or SIGE3810
ELINT credential: If predominantly ELINT-focused, SIGE2810 preferred/strongly desired (include if required by your program)
Customer environment: Experience supporting Department of Defense and/or Intelligence Community mission customers (requirements, workflows, or operational support)

What We'd Like You To Have

SIGE3120 and/or SIGE3810 certification.
GALE Expertise: Experience with or first hand exposure to the GALE application.
Customer Knowledge: Deep understanding of Department of War and/or Intelligence Community customers.
