Since 1969, Advanced Programs, Inc. (API) has developed secure, mission-critical solutions that serve the United States, NATO, and allied partners. As a small, agile company supporting national security initiatives, we offer a tight-knit environment where every engineer plays a meaningful, visible role in real-world impact.

We move quickly to respond to evolving defense and intelligence challenges, often working directly with government stakeholders to turn urgent needs into engineered solutions. You'll have room to make a difference — and you'll be expected to bring initiative, curiosity, and a willingness to learn every day.

This is an unusual opportunity for a mid-career engineer: we will train a strong EMI/EMC designer into a TEMPEST design authority. TEMPEST (emanations security) is a small, in-demand specialty that's difficult to break into — it typically requires a cleared employer willing to invest in your development. That's exactly what we offer.

If you already think in terms of shielding, filtering, grounding, and controlling emissions to pass EMC limits, you're most of the way there. TEMPEST applies that same discipline toward a security objective: preventing compromising emanations. You'll learn the standards, the security framing, and the classified environment from engineers who are experts in the field — and become one yourself.

You'll support programs sponsored by the NTSWG, a U.S. government body that leads interagency efforts to develop advanced technologies protecting national security. NTSWG identifies urgent capability gaps across the defense, intelligence, and homeland security communities and funds rapid R&D to close them. The solutions you help build are deployed directly into the hands of U.S. forces, law enforcement, and our allies.

You'll design secure communications, computing, and networking products that help the United States, NATO, and allies safeguard sensitive information in high-threat environments. Day to day, you'll work at the component level on analog and digital systems, applying your EMI/RFI background while we develop your expertise in emanations security (TEMPEST/TSG).

As you build TEMPEST expertise and get to know our programs, there's a clear path to greater ownership. Over time — and with support — you'll have the opportunity to take on responsibilities such as:
