Intelligence Analyst

As an All-source Intelligence Analyst within Idaho National Laboratory's National & Homeland Security (N&HS) Directorate, you will perform comprehensive, multidisciplinary analysis that advances critical mission areas - including protecting national critical infrastructure, evaluating defense systems, preventing nuclear weapons proliferation, and securing essential communications.

In this role, you will fuse classified intelligence with open-source information to produce reliable, timely and actionable insights that support decision-making and strengthen the mission and N&HS, INL and U.S Government partners. Working closely with Intelligence Community organizations, you will integrate multiple intelligence disciplines with technical data and collaborate with cross-functional teams - including analyst, engineers, and cybersecurity researchers - to develop, refine, and present assessments and findings to senior leaders and INL customers.
