Job Description
SIGINT Analyst
This is not theoretical work. It's a deep-dive and end-to-end mission analysis that often gets briefed at the national-level. It's hands-on, challenging, and intellectually addictive. You'll perform interactions w trust is built and w your technical expertise becomes indispensable. If you're looking for a role w your analysis has immediate impact and w you can continuously grow alongside highly technical teammates, you've found the right team.
SIGINT AnalystThe Opportunity:
Are you energized by solving hard technical problems? Do you get lost, in the best way, in waveforms, network behaviors, and the challenge of uncovering what's hidden in the noise? If decoding complex signals, understanding how systems really communicate, and supporting operational missions at the highest levels excites you, this is the role w your expertise truly matters. As a Technical Signals Analyst, you'll join a high-performing team that tackles some of the most compelling SIGINT and SIGDEV challenges in the mission space. You'll collaborate with analysts who, like you, work directly with RF, binary, packet, and network data, and you'll help drive insights that feed real operational outcomes.This is not theoretical work.
