• Support targeting and time‑sensitive intelligence operations
• Correlate signal activity with operational events and intelligence reporting
• Provide actionable insights to mission stakeholders
• Produce SIGINT reports, assessments, and briefings
• Deliver timely and accurate intelligence to Government customers
• Support mission updates, operational briefings, and decision‑making processes

SIGINT Tools & Systems

• Utilize SIGINT platforms and analytical tools to process collected data
• Apply advanced analytical methodologies for signal exploitation
• Maintain awareness of emerging tools and technologies
• Collaborate with GEOINT, all-source, and other intelligence analysts
• Support multi-INT fusion to enhance situational awareness
• Contribute to integrated intelligence products across domains

What You Bring

• Active TS/SCI clearance with Polygraph (Required)
• 5–10+ years of experience in SIGINT analysis
• Experience supporting ISR or C5ISR missions

• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and critical thinking skills
• Ability to operate in fast‑paced, mission‑driven environments

Preferred

• Experience with electronic warfare (EW) or spectrum operations
• Knowledge of signals processing or network analysis
• Experience supporting time‑sensitive targeting or real‑time operations
• Familiarity with multi‑INT fusion environments
• Salary Range: $125,000 – $170,000+ annually(Commensurate with experience, clearance, and mission scope)
• Performance‑based incentives
• 401(k) with company match
