Deep Analytics Bomb Technician Opportunities
Deep Analytics is seeking current and retired Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and Public Safety Bomb Technicians to beta test our newest development, the Community EOD Data Hub, starting Monday, May 16th though Wednesday, June 15th. The Hub is an online resource for uploading, labeling, searching for, and downloading pictures and 3D scans of IEDs and explosive ordnance. A project funded by the EOD and Explosive Operations Subgroup of the Irregular Warfare Technical Support Directorate (IWTSD), the Hub is designed to make it easy to research, find, and download images and data of explosive hazards relevant to our end users. The Hub is entirely crowd sourced and relies on end users to upload their own pictures and to tag and label the contents of their colleagues’ images as well. The Hub incentivizes participation by providing competitions, challenges, levels, goals, and awards for the users. Participation in the beta test event yields a special reward that will carry over to the Community EOD Data Hub once the service goes live, and simply requires using the system and filling out a feedback form. Please sign up today at eoddatahub.com.

Tier Tech International Bomb Technician Opportunities
The United States Bomb Technician Association (USBTA) in partnership with Tier Tech International (TTI) is seeking qualified people to act as either site lead, or deployment instructor for the DIA Deployment Qualification Course (DDQC). The DDQC is a week-long (40 hour) course established to ensure that first-time and returning deploying individuals arrive in theater thoroughly prepared to meet the challenges of deployment in support of the warfighter overseas, worldwide. This course combines computer-based training, classroom instruction, and situational training exercises (STX) which may include Suburban Rollover Egress Training (SRET), Civilian Response to Active Shooter Event (CRASE) and a Mass Casualty (MASCAS) CAPSTONE. All topics are derived from the U.S. Central Command's Fragmentary Order (CENTCOM FRAGO) and meet the directed Theater Entry Requirement training for all, including deploying Intelligence Community (IC) officers. DDQC maintains flexibility to meet the evolving needs of the Combatant Commands (CCMDs) and DIA. DDQC typically runs approximately 36 iterations per year with class sizes ranging from 6-30 students. Due to changing mission needs and Agency demands, 8 to 10 additional iterations may require Mobile Training Teams (MTT) which occur outside the NCR. MTTs are typically conducted in but not limited to Tampa, FL (4), St. Louis, MO (4) and Charlottesville, VA (2) as well as international as needed.
