What is TS/SCI clearance?
TS/SCI stands for Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information. It's the highest standard security clearance, providing access to intelligence information and compartmented programs beyond standard Top Secret. SCI access is granted on top of a Top Secret clearance and requires additional adjudication. It's commonly associated with intelligence community work but is also required for many defense contractor programs.
How much do TS/SCI jobs pay on the Space Coast?
TS/SCI positions on the Space Coast are among the highest-paid defense roles, with salaries typically ranging from $120K–$180K+ for engineers and analysts. Senior technical leads and program managers with TS/SCI can exceed $190K. The premium over uncleared roles is 25–40%, reflecting the extremely limited pool of candidates with active TS/SCI access.
How do I get a TS/SCI clearance?
TS/SCI access requires employer sponsorship, a completed SSBI (Single Scope Background Investigation), and additional adjudication for SCI access by the sponsoring agency. The process typically takes 6–18 months and may include a polygraph examination. You cannot self-sponsor. Most people obtain TS/SCI through their employer when assigned to a program that requires it.
What types of TS/SCI jobs are available on the Space Coast?
TS/SCI roles on the Space Coast include intelligence analysis, SIGINT/ELINT engineering, space-based ISR systems, cyber operations, electronic warfare design, classified satellite programs, and Space Force intelligence missions. Employers include Northrop Grumman, L3Harris, Booz Allen Hamilton, Leidos, General Dynamics IT, and SAIC. Many of these programs are based at Patrick SFB or support Cape Canaveral operations.
Can I transfer my TS/SCI clearance to a new employer?
Yes, active TS/SCI clearances can be transferred between employers through a crossover process. Your new employer requests the transfer in DISS, and the process typically takes 2–6 weeks — longer than a standard Secret crossover due to the SCI component. An inactive TS/SCI can be reinstated within 24 months without a full reinvestigation, though SCI access requires re-briefing by the new program.
