Defense & Aerospace Careers: The 2026 Prime-by-Prime Resume Playbook
Two-thirds of US defense and aerospace firms report they cannot fill open cleared roles. The DoD FY26 budget is at a record high, the primes are hiring against multi-year program backlogs, and frontier defense employers (Anduril, Palantir) are paying 40 to 100% above the prime baseline. This guide is the prime-by-prime ATS map (Lockheed runs IBM Kenexa BrassRing, Northrop runs Eightfold AI, Boeing and RTX run Workday, General Dynamics is fragmented across Workday and iCIMS by business unit), the salary band per cluster, and the resume rules that actually get you through each prime's parser.

Why your defense or aerospace application is not converting
The US defense and aerospace labor market in 2026 has a paradox at its center: 67% of firms cannot fill open cleared roles, yet most cleared-eligible applicants get rejected before a recruiter sees the resume. The bottleneck is not your background. It is your resume's match against the prime-specific ATS and keyword profile. The defense ATS stack is fragmented: Lockheed runs IBM Kenexa BrassRing, Northrop runs Eightfold AI, Boeing and RTX run Workday, and General Dynamics is decentralized (GDIT on Workday, GDMS and Electric Boat on iCIMS). One resume cannot win across all of these parsers.
If you write one resume and submit it to Lockheed, Northrop, RTX, BAE, GD, L3Harris, and Boeing, you will get filtered out of at least four of those seven. The keyword density that wins at Lockheed Skunk Works (BrassRing) will read as off-target at Northrop Linthicum (Eightfold). The bullet structure that scores well at GDIT (Workday) will get downranked at Anduril. This guide gives you the prime-by-prime ATS profile so you can tailor the right version for each cluster.
The second compounding factor is the cleared-talent shortage itself. DCSA Tier 5 investigations now median 150 to 200 days, which means an already-cleared candidate is worth far more than an uncleared candidate with otherwise identical experience. If you hold an active or recently-active clearance, the most expensive line on your resume is the line that misstates your status. The third section below covers exactly how to write that line.
What changed in 2026: Boeing BDS, frontier-tech hiring, and DCSA backlog
Three forces collide in May 2026. First, Boeing's January 12 2026 BDS Supply Chain announcement put roughly 300 cleared workers into the market at the same time as competitor primes (Lockheed, Northrop, RTX) had open requisitions. Second, frontier-tech defense employers (Anduril, Palantir, Scale AI) are openly poaching cleared engineers at 40 to 100% premiums over prime baselines. Third, the DCSA Tier 5 backlog is at a multi-year high, which has raised the market value of already-cleared candidates relative to clearance-eligible-but-uncleared candidates. If you are cleared, the resume is leverage. If you are uncleared, your path is through a sponsoring prime and the timeline is realistic at 6 to 12 months from offer to read-on.

The seven defense primes compared (US-only, 2026)
Pick one or two clusters that match your background before you start applying. Recruiters at primes spot a generic resume in seconds, and a tailored Lockheed resume reads completely differently from a tailored RTX resume.
| Prime | Heaviest Cleared Sites | ATS / Application Stack | Top Hiring Disciplines |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lockheed Martin | Skunk Works (Palmdale CA), F-35 (Fort Worth TX), Space (Sunnyvale CA, Denver CO), RMS (Moorestown NJ) | IBM Kenexa BrassRing (sjobs.brassring.com, linked from lockheedmartinjobs.com) | Aero structures, mission systems software, RF / radar, space systems, classified SAP engineering |
| Northrop Grumman | B-21 (Palmdale CA), Space (Redondo Beach CA, Dulles VA), Mission Systems (Linthicum MD) | Eightfold AI (white-labeled on jobs.northropgrumman.com; AI talent-matching not keyword parsing) | Cleared SW, RF / EW, embedded firmware, space mission systems, ISR program engineering |
| RTX (Raytheon, Pratt & Whitney, Collins Aerospace) | Missiles & Defense (Tucson AZ), Collins Aerospace (Cedar Rapids IA), I&S (Aurora CO, Dulles VA) | Workday (globalhr.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com, single instance for all RTX subsidiaries post-merger) | Missile / radar engineering, avionics, IC contractor SW, full-scope poly billets at Aurora |
| BAE Systems | Electronic Systems (Nashua NH, Manassas VA), Intelligence & Security (Hanover MD) | Workday (BAE Systems Inc. external careers) | EW, signals processing, FPGA / embedded SW, electronic countermeasures |
| General Dynamics (decentralized by business unit) | GDIT (Falls Church VA), GDMS (Scottsdale AZ, Pittsfield MA), Electric Boat (Groton CT, Quonset Point RI), Land Systems (Sterling Heights MI) | GDIT = Workday (gdit.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com); GDMS = iCIMS (careers-gdms.icims.com); Electric Boat = iCIMS (careers-gdeb.icims.com). No single GD-wide ATS. | Cleared SWE, AWS GovCloud / Azure Government, DevSecOps, IC mission analysis, submarine and combat-systems engineering |
| L3Harris | Space & Airborne (Palm Bay FL, Salt Lake City UT), Communication Systems (Rochester NY) | Workday (L3Harris external careers) | Tactical comms, SIGINT, EW embedded SW, RF / antenna engineering |
| Boeing Defense, Space & Security | St. Louis MO (F-15EX, F/A-18), Mesa AZ (AH-64), Seattle WA (KC-46, P-8), Huntsville AL | Workday (boeing.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com, single instance for commercial, defense, and engineering post-2020 migration) | Aero / mechanical, software / avionics, manufacturing engineering, supply chain (post Jan 2026 reduction) |
The defense ATS stack is fragmented, not uniform. Lockheed's BrassRing parses very differently from Northrop's Eightfold AI engine, which behaves very differently from Workday at Boeing, RTX, BAE, GDIT, and L3Harris. GDMS and Electric Boat add iCIMS to the mix. There is no single "defense resume" that parses cleanly across all of them; the keyword profile and the format that wins on BrassRing (clean text, exact-match keywords) is not the same one that wins on Eightfold (skills inference) or Workday (section-aware parsing). Always tailor the top half of the resume per prime, and structure it for the specific ATS that prime runs.
Tailor for one prime, then run the variant against a second
The prime-by-prime matrix above is the map. Drop in a real JD from any prime's career site and we score how cleanly your resume parses for that specific ATS (BrassRing, Eightfold, Workday, or iCIMS), including the cleared-line placement each parser actually reads.
Salary bands by city and clearance (2026 medians)
Total compensation includes base + sign-on + cleared premium where applicable. Defense base is conservative; frontier-tech (Anduril, Palantir) and IC contractors (Booz Allen at Fort Meade) sit at the top of each band.
| Region | Mid-Level (3 to 7 yrs) Total Comp | Senior (8 to 14 yrs) Total Comp | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| DC metro (DC / VA / MD) | $120,000 to $165,000 | $170,000 to $240,000 | TS/SCI + full-scope poly adds ~$30K. Booz Allen, MITRE, Leidos, GDIT, Northrop Linthicum anchor the cluster. |
| Denver / Colorado Springs CO | $115,000 to $155,000 | $160,000 to $220,000 | Lockheed Space, Northrop Space, RTX I&S Aurora. Top growth state per ClearanceJobs 2025. |
| Tucson AZ | $110,000 to $145,000 | $150,000 to $200,000 | RTX Missiles & Defense anchor; lower COL than DC but compressed bands above L4. |
| Huntsville AL | $110,000 to $145,000 | $150,000 to $195,000 | Boeing, Lockheed, Leidos, Northrop missile defense corridor. MDA / Redstone Arsenal pull. |
| Seattle / Puget Sound WA | $130,000 to $180,000 | $185,000 to $250,000 | Boeing Commercial + Defense, Anduril Pacific, frontier-tech salary pressure. |
| St. Louis MO | $105,000 to $140,000 | $145,000 to $190,000 | Boeing F-15EX / F/A-18 / MQ-25 anchor; lower COL drives strong real comp. |
| Palmdale / Antelope Valley CA | $130,000 to $175,000 | $180,000 to $245,000 | Lockheed Skunk Works, Northrop B-21. Highest concentration of classified aero engineering in US. |
| Frontier-tech (Anduril, Palantir, Scale AI) | $160,000 to $230,000 | $240,000 to $400,000+ | Cash + equity. Cleared SWE forward-deployed roles at Palantir routinely exceed L7 prime equivalents. |
Bands are 2026 US medians from ClearanceJobs, Levels.fyi defense-tagged data, and public Anduril / Palantir job postings. Cleared premiums (Secret +$10K, TS/SCI +$15K to $20K, full-scope poly +$30K) stack on top of the band.
Five rules for a defense and aerospace resume that gets through the prime ATS layer
The seven primes run four different ATS stacks: BrassRing at Lockheed, Eightfold at Northrop, Workday at Boeing / RTX / BAE / L3Harris / GDIT, and iCIMS at GDMS and Electric Boat. These five rules cover 80% of the failure modes that filter cleared-eligible candidates out before a recruiter ever sees the resume, regardless of which parser they hit.
Don't: Burying clearance status in a Skills section near the bottom of page 2.
Do: Place the cleared line in the resume header, format: "TS/SCI with Full-Scope Polygraph (current)" or "Secret, last active 2024-08, eligible for reinstatement under DCSA Continuous Vetting".
Why: Every prime ATS (BrassRing at Lockheed, Eightfold at Northrop, Workday at Boeing / RTX / BAE, iCIMS at GDMS and Electric Boat) is configured to surface clearance-line keyword matches in the first scan. Recruiters set the clearance filter as a knock-out; if the parser cannot find the match in the first 200 characters of parsed text, you fail the filter even if you hold the clearance.
Don't: Listing program names, SCIF locations, compartments, or read-on caveats on a public resume.
Do: Use generic phrasing: "supported a classified DoD R&D program in a SCIF environment, focused on ISR signal processing".
Why: Naming a SAP or compartment is a reportable security incident under NSA Prepublication guidance and can cost the clearance. Recruiters know the rules and read between the lines; the right phrasing reads as cleared, not as withholding.
Don't: Generic engineering verbs ("worked on", "supported", "responsible for") without quantified outcomes.
Do: Lead with an action verb and end with a number. Example: "Reduced SIGINT pipeline end-to-end latency 38% and lifted unit-test coverage from 22% to 81% across the core analytic library".
Why: Defense recruiters are explicitly trained to look for the Result line in STAR-style bullets. A bullet without a number reads as duty-statement, which signals federal-civil-service or junior-IC experience even if your title says senior engineer.
Don't: Using only the AS9100 or only the MIL-STD framing across all primes.
Do: Match the prime: AS9100 + FAA framing for Boeing Commercial, RTX Collins, L3Harris airborne. MIL-STD-810 / MIL-STD-461 framing for Lockheed mission systems, Northrop, RTX Missiles & Defense, BAE.
Why: Each prime's parser ranks these standards differently. Listing AS9100 on a Lockheed Skunk Works BrassRing application underweights you against MIL-STD-901 / 1474. Listing MIL-STD on a Boeing Commercial Workday application looks misaligned. Use both when the role is ambiguous, lead with the right one for the prime.
Don't: One resume submitted across all primes with identical bullets.
Do: Tailor the top half (summary + first job's bullets + skills section) per prime cluster. Keep the bottom half consistent.
Why: Every modern prime ATS (BrassRing, Eightfold, Workday, iCIMS) weights the top 50 to 60% of the parsed text most heavily for relevance scoring. Tailoring the top half gets you through the filter without rewriting the entire document for each application, and it matters even more on Eightfold (Northrop) because its skills-inference model leans on titles and summary lines.
Your salary band is on the table. Is your resume earning the top of it?
TS/SCI plus full-scope poly is worth ~$30K. Frontier-tech can add 40 to 100% on top. We score whether your resume is positioning you for the top of the band or the middle.
Before / after: a cleared software engineer bullet for Lockheed Skunk Works
Same accomplishment. The before version reads as generic cleared SWE; the after version is specifically tailored for Lockheed mission systems and Skunk Works keyword density.
Worked as a software engineer on classified DoD programs at a defense contractor. Used C++ and Python for signal processing and supported the program through delivery.
Cleared software engineer (TS/SCI, current) on a classified DoD R&D program in a SCIF environment, ISR / SIGINT mission focus. Built C++ and Python signal-processing pipeline supporting national-level intelligence customers; reduced end-to-end latency 38%, lifted unit-test coverage 22% to 81%, and integrated MIL-STD-1553 telemetry across two platforms. Compliant with DoD 8140 IAT Level II baseline and DCSA Continuous Vetting.
The before version is missing every keyword Lockheed's BrassRing parser is scoring on. The after version drops in: TS/SCI cleared line, SCIF environment, ISR / SIGINT mission focus, national-level intelligence customers, MIL-STD-1553, DoD 8140 IAT Level II, DCSA Continuous Vetting. None of those are program names or compartments, so it is fully OPSEC-safe. BrassRing is a relatively literal keyword-match parser (less inference than Eightfold, less section-aware than Workday), so exact-match keyword density in the top third of the resume matters more here than at Northrop or Boeing. It also adds two quantified outcomes (38% latency, test coverage delta) and one cross-platform integration claim, which is exactly the structure Lockheed mission-systems hiring managers are calibrated against.
Beyond the seven primes: integrators, FFRDCs, and frontier tech
The primes are the largest cleared employers, but they are not the highest-paying or fastest-growing. These four clusters often pay above the prime baseline and have shorter offer-to-start cycles.
IC consultancies and integrators (Booz Allen, Leidos, CACI, Peraton, ManTech, SAIC)
Booz Allen (McLean VA HQ), Leidos (Reston VA HQ), CACI / SAIC / Peraton / ManTech (Reston / Herndon VA)
Highest cleared headcount in the DC metro. Hire constantly for cleared SWE, cyber, AI / ML, data engineering, mission analysis. Full-scope poly common at Fort Meade and Bethesda accounts. Promotion velocity is faster than the primes.
FFRDCs (MITRE, Aerospace Corp, JHU APL, RAND)
MITRE (McLean VA, Bedford MA), Aerospace Corp (El Segundo CA), JHU APL (Laurel MD), RAND (Santa Monica CA, Pittsburgh PA, Arlington VA)
Federally Funded Research and Development Centers. Hire cleared systems engineers, researchers, and policy analysts. Comp is below frontier tech but well above prime baseline; mission alignment is the value proposition. JHU APL and Aerospace Corp run heavy classified portfolios.
Frontier-tech defense (Anduril, Palantir, Scale AI, Shield AI)
Anduril (Costa Mesa CA, DC metro, Seattle WA), Palantir (Denver CO, Palo Alto CA, DC metro), Scale AI (San Francisco CA, DC metro), Shield AI (San Diego CA)
Cash + equity packages 40 to 100% above prime baseline for cleared SWE and forward-deployed engineers. Anduril and Palantir openly hire ex-IC and ex-DoD. Hiring loop is 4 to 6 weeks vs prime 6 to 12 weeks. Cleared work is the majority at all four.
Cleared frontier roles inside Big Tech (AWS, Microsoft, Google, Oracle)
AWS GovCloud (Herndon VA, Seattle WA), Azure Government (Reston VA, Redmond WA), Google Public Sector (Reston VA), Oracle National Security Regions
All four operate cleared cloud regions for DoD and IC. Hire cleared cloud architects, security engineers, and FedRAMP / IL5 / IL6 specialists. Comp matches Big Tech (above frontier-tech base) plus cleared premium. Most cleared cloud growth in 2025 to 2026 was here, not at the primes.
National labs and DOE (Sandia, Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore, Oak Ridge)
Sandia (Albuquerque NM, Livermore CA), LANL (Los Alamos NM), LLNL (Livermore CA), ORNL (Oak Ridge TN)
DOE Q-cleared work on weapons stewardship, advanced materials, and HPC. Comp below DC metro but the classified scientific portfolio is unique. DOE Q has limited DoD reciprocity; expect a 6 to 12 month re-adjudication if crossing.
Defense and aerospace terminology that prime ATS engines are scoring
Each prime's parser (BrassRing at Lockheed, Eightfold at Northrop, Workday at Boeing / RTX / BAE / L3Harris / GDIT, iCIMS at GDMS and Electric Boat) ranks these terms higher than generic engineering vocabulary. Use the exact form on the right; do not invent variations.
- TS/SCI
- Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information. The single highest-value keyword on a defense resume. Always write as TS/SCI with the slash, never "TS SCI" or "top secret SCI".
- MIL-STD-810 / MIL-STD-461 / MIL-STD-1553
- DoD environmental, EMI / EMC, and avionics-data-bus standards. Lockheed BrassRing, Northrop Eightfold, RTX and BAE Workday all rank these high. List the specific MIL-STD numbers you have worked under.
- AS9100 / AS9102 / NADCAP
- Aerospace quality standards. Lead with AS9100 for Boeing, RTX Collins, and commercial-leaning roles. NADCAP is the special-process accreditation program; cite it for manufacturing or supply-chain roles.
- ITAR / EAR / CUI
- Export Control. ITAR for defense articles, EAR for dual-use, CUI for Controlled Unclassified Information (replaced FOUO in 2020). Use CUI on a 2026 resume for any unclassified-but-sensitive work.
- DoD 8140 (IAT / IAM Level I / II / III)
- DoD cyber workforce qualification standard. Replaced 8570 in 2023. List your baseline cert by name plus the level it satisfies (Sec+ CE / IAT II is the most common).
- RMF / NIST 800-53 / NIST 800-171
- Risk Management Framework and the underlying control catalogs. Mandatory keyword for cleared cyber, ISSO, and ATO work. CMMC Level 2 / 3 has overtaken NIST 800-171 framing for DIB suppliers in 2025 to 2026.
- AWS GovCloud / Azure Government / IL2 / IL4 / IL5 / IL6
- Cleared cloud regions and DoD impact levels. Highest-growth cleared cloud keywords across every prime ATS in 2026. List the specific impact level your work touched.
- DISS / NBIS
- Defense Information System for Security (current) and National Background Investigation Services (rolling out). Familiarity is a plus for FSO and security-engineer roles; do not list as a deliverable.
- C4ISR / ISR / SIGINT / EW
- Mission-area keywords. Use only when your work was actually in these areas; recruiters at Northrop, L3Harris, BAE EW will probe in the interview.
- EVM / CAM / IMS
- Earned Value Management, Control Account Manager, Integrated Master Schedule. Mandatory for any defense program-management role above mid-level. Cite SPI / CPI numbers if you have them.
- FAR / DFARS
- Federal Acquisition Regulation and the DoD supplement. Cite the part you worked under (e.g., FAR Part 16.5 for IDIQ task orders, DFARS 252.204-7012 for cyber DIB compliance).
- DO-178C / DO-254
- Avionics software and hardware certification standards. Mandatory for safety-critical software on commercial and military aircraft. Boeing, RTX Collins, and L3Harris airborne all rank these high in their Workday instances.
Pick a prime above and tailor in one pass
Lockheed, Northrop, RTX, BAE, GD, L3Harris, Boeing, plus Booz Allen, MITRE, Leidos, Anduril, Palantir. Tailored output preserves OPSEC and keeps your cleared line front and center.
Your 30-day defense and aerospace job-search plan
Run this sequence in order. Each step compounds: skipping the cleared-line audit means every later application is downranked.
- 01
Days 1-3: Audit and rewrite the cleared line
Place clearance status in the resume header in the exact format every prime ATS parses cleanly (BrassRing, Eightfold, Workday, and iCIMS all handle this consistently): "TS/SCI (current)" or "Secret, last active 2024-08, eligible for reinstatement under DCSA Continuous Vetting". If you list a polygraph, use "CI Polygraph (current)" or "Full-Scope Polygraph (current)".
- 02
Days 4-6: Pull DISS visibility and confirm cert currency
Confirm your clearance status, last investigation date, polygraph type / date, and any incident reports in DISS. If your DoD 8140 baseline (Sec+, CASP+, CISSP) is set to expire, schedule the renewal before applying.
- 03
Days 7-10: Build the prime-specific resume variants
Maintain one master resume plus four to seven prime-tailored variants (Lockheed, Northrop, RTX, BAE, GD, L3Harris, Boeing). Tailor only the top half: summary, first job's bullets, and skills section. Keep the bottom half consistent so older roles do not get rewritten dozens of times.
- 04
Days 11-14: Score each variant against a real prime JD
Pull a real, currently-open job description from each prime's actual ATS in your target cluster: BrassRing for Lockheed (sjobs.brassring.com via lockheedmartinjobs.com), Eightfold for Northrop (jobs.northropgrumman.com), Workday for Boeing (boeing.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com), RTX (globalhr.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com), BAE, L3Harris, and GDIT (gdit.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com), and iCIMS for GDMS (careers-gdms.icims.com) and Electric Boat (careers-gdeb.icims.com). Score your tailored variant against the JD via an ATS scanner; aim for 75% keyword match minimum. Variance across primes tells you which keywords (CONOPS, RMF, MIL-STD-461, AWS GovCloud, DoD 8140) you are missing.
- 05
Days 15-21: Submit 30 to 50 applications, batch by cluster
Apply 5 to 8 per prime, plus 5 to 10 to integrators (Booz Allen, Leidos, CACI), plus 3 to 5 to frontier-tech (Anduril, Palantir). Track in a single spreadsheet: prime, role, ATS link, application date, recruiter contact, follow-up date.
- 06
Days 22-26: Activate the cleared network
Reach out to 15 to 20 cleared peers who have already crossed primes (Boeing-to-Lockheed, prime-to-frontier, IC-to-contractor). Ask for one referral, not a job. Cleared-network referrals convert at 3 to 5x cold application rate.
- 07
Days 27-30: Polygraph readiness if you have a poly date scheduled
If a sponsor will run you on a CI or full-scope poly within 60 days, abstain from polygraph-relevant risk behaviors, document foreign travel and contacts since your last poly, and review your SF-86 entries for accuracy. Recruiters do not pre-screen for this; you must.
