Job DescriptionACTIVE SECURITY CLEARANCE AT THE TS/SCI POLYGRAPH LEVEL IS REQUIREDWe are seeking an experienced
Senior FISINT / Telemetry Signals Analyst to support advanced Technical SIGINT (TECHSIGINT) operations focused on foreign weapons and space systems. In this role, you will analyze complex radio frequency (RF) environments, characterize raw signal structures, extract vital telemetry parameters, and model signal behaviors to reconstruct weapons and space system patterns of life.
The annual base salary range for this role is $130,000-$154,000 (USD) , which does not include discretionary bonus compensation or our comprehensive benefits package. Actual compensation offered to the successful candidate may vary from posted hiring range based upon geographic location, work experience, education, and/or skill level, among other things.
Required Skills- Core FISINT & Telemetry Analysis: Demonstrated, hands-on experience performing Technical SIGINT (TECHSIGINT) analysis with an explicit focus on FISINT, telemetry demodulation, framing, and data parsing.
- RF Signal Characterization & Modeling: In-depth understanding of RF propagation, modulation techniques (e.g., PSK, FSK, QAM, analog telemetry), bit-stream recovery, parameter definition, and signal behavior modeling.
- Weapons & Space Systems Domain Knowledge: Proven background analyzing telemetry and signals associated with foreign missile testing, aerospace platforms, space launches, or orbital mechanics.
- Pattern-of-Life & Event Reconstruction: Ability to evaluate signal sequences, anomalous event markers, and temporal data to establish operational profiles and patterns of life for foreign systems.
- Technical Briefing & Presentation Skills: Proven comfort and proficiency in translating complex RF/FIS data into clear, concise verbal briefings and technical presentations for diverse customer audiences.
Education:
Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physical Science, or a related technical discipline, PLUS
3+ years of professional experience in signals analysis OR
High School Diploma / GED PLUS
7+ years of hands-on signals analysis and TechELINT experience.
Desired Skills- Operational Mission Center Experience: Prior operational experience working with or supporting organizations such as DEFSMAC (Defense Special Missile and Aerospace Center) or specialized FORNSAT collection environments.
- Specialized Tools & Systems (SASMO): Working familiarity or direct operational experience with SASMO (Space and Specialized Missions Operations) workflows and associated toolsets.
- Multi-Discipline SIGINT Experience: Practical experience across related SIGINT disciplines, including Electronic Intelligence (ELINT), Communications Intelligence (COMINT), or PROFORMA processing.
- Custom Tooling & Scripting: Proficiency using standard signals analysis environments (e.g., MATLAB, Python, GNU Radio, or X-Midas) to develop custom decoders, spectral analysis routines, or automated data parsing scripts.
- Collection Architecture & Sensor Tasking: Familiarity with national and tactical collection assets, tasking mechanisms, and sensor steering to optimize RF capture against priority targets.
