Triumph Enterprises is currently looking for a Technical Analyst to support the Equipment/Engineering branch of TSA's Electronic Checked Baggage Screening Program. You will have the opportunity to directly support your clients at TSA Headquarters in acquiring new Explosive Detection Systems and continuously improving existing systems in the field with leading-edge technology.

Background: TSA was created in the wake of 9/11 to strengthen the security of the nation's transportation systems while ensuring the freedom of movement for people and commerce. Within a year, TSA assumed responsibility for security at the nation's airports and deployed a federal workforce to screen all commercial airline passengers and baggage. In March 2003, TSA moved from the Department of Transportation to the Department of Homeland Security. TSA employs a risk-based strategy to secure U.S. transportation systems, and works closely with stakeholders in aviation, rail, transit, highway, and pipeline sectors, as well as the partners in the law enforcement and intelligence communities. The Office of Acquisition Program Management safeguards our Nation's transportation systems through the qualification and delivery of innovative security capabilities and solutions. Its vision is to deter and mitigate new and evolving risks by collaborating to quickly field innovative security capabilities.

This role allows the right candidate to be a part of the mission in which TSA has leveraged leading-edge medical computed tomography (CT) scanning technology as an effective primary screening solution for checked baggage.
