Computer/Electrical Engineering

NSA offers some of the world's most demanding and exhilarating high-tech engineering challenges. Our entry-level engineers work with teams, following a project from beginning through completion. This means you'll be involved in multiple stages of the project, including requirements analysis, design, simulation, experimentation, benchwork, prototype development and testing, manufacturing, and possibly, field work. You'll be part of a multidisciplinary team made up of Engineers, Computer Scientists, Mathematicians, Analysts, Contractors, and other project members.

Career Paths in Computer/Electrical Engineering

• Design of special-purpose computers and antenna systems
• Pattern recognition technologies
• Signals analysis
• Optics
• Design, development, and testing of electronic communications

You may also be working in our microelectronics fabrication facility, including a 20,000-square-foot "Class 10" clean room. In this setting, you will be performing such tasks as electron beam maskmaking and "direct write" wafer lithography.

Our Dual Track system affords you the opportunity to choose to expand your technical prowess or move toward a management role within NSA.
