Description |
Intelligence Analysts at the National Security Agency (NSA) are part of a multi-faceted Cryptologic discipline that involves research, analysis, and the presentation of findings that enable us to provide the fullest possible SIGINT picture to U.S. policymakers, military commanders, and other Intelligence Community members.
While the unique responsibilities of our Intelligence Analysts are not easily defined, we can say that they work in diverse environments that deal with a range of different issues of key Cryptologic significance. The individual assignments and opportunities that are available are varied and highly specialized, but all share one important and exciting quality: they help protect the Nation's security.
Positions may be available in Maryland, Hawaii, Georgia, and/or Texas.
