Defense analytics and systems integration for the Intelligence Community
Boeing Intelligence & Analytics operates a specialized engineering division serving U.S. defense and intelligence agencies, with deep expertise in ground-based midcourse defense systems, RF signal processing, and embedded development. The tech stack reveals infrastructure-heavy operations (AWS, Terraform, Ansible, Prometheus/Grafana for observability) paired with legacy integration challenges (Visual Basic, ODBC) — a pattern typical of defense contractors managing both modern cloud deployments and decades-old mission-critical systems. Hiring velocity is accelerating across 50 open roles, with engineering dominance (42 of 49 named positions) and a mid-level hiring skew, indicating active scaling of development capacity rather than leadership restructuring.
Boeing Intelligence & Analytics, headquartered in Annapolis Junction, Maryland, is a subsidiary of Boeing Defense, Space and Security focused on advanced analytics and intelligence solutions for U.S. government customers. The division employs 201–500 people and specializes in software engineering, systems integration, RF signal processing, embedded development, and FPGA design. Active projects span ground-based midcourse defense (GMD) system development, lab infrastructure upgrades, DoD certification processes, and simulation tooling. The organization manages both modern cloud infrastructure (AWS, containerization, infrastructure-as-code) and legacy system integration, with documented pain points around network performance, database optimization, and latency in complex hardware/software environments.
Primary focus areas include design verification testing for ground-based midcourse defense products, RF signal processing applications, DoD certification/accreditation processes, database administration and design, network failover mechanisms, and simulation data processing tooling.
Core infrastructure: AWS (with Direct Connect, VPC, Transit Gateway), Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation. Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch. Development: Python, C, C++, React, Bash. Legacy systems: Visual Basic, ODBC. Security/infrastructure: Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, SysML.
