Booz Allen Digs into Tech (And In-n-Out) in El Segundo

Imagine teaching kids to make their own Wi-Fi detectors. Designing and implementing cloud security programs. Developing mission system solutions and securing the cloud for federal organizations. When it comes to technology, engineering, and design, the Booz Allen team in El Segundo is “the second” (pun very much intended) to none.

From partnering with the Air Force on Global Positioning System (GPS) solutions for use by our frontline warfighters, to competing in the annual Aerospace Summer Games, our employees in El Segundo are always up for testing new technology and building local community.

Working for the U.S. Air Force, one of our El Segundo teams employs systems engineering, software development, cybersecurity, and more to support GPS, a satellite navigation system that’s of crucial daily importance to America’s servicemen and women (and anyone with a smart phone). They recently developed GPS mission-planning software that can perform trillions of global positioning computations in a mere 36 hours—a feat that previously would have required two full years to complete. 

When Freddie Johnson Jr. isn’t helping a local military installation migrate its cyber operations to the cloud, he’s teaching the principles of cybersecurity in El Segundo High School’s after-hours learning program. Freddie, an expert in cloud-based defensive cyber operations, loves that working for Booz Allen comes with ample resources for deepening and expanding his technical skills. Sharing his knowledge with local students is his way of paying that forward. 

What do you get when you combine sand, surf, and beach sports with experts from some of La La Land’s top aerospace organizations? The Aerospace Summer Games, an annual competition where teams from industry greats like Booz Allen, SpaceX, and NASA go for gold in events like watermelon eating, ultimate frisbee, and human pyramid. It’s a family-friendly chance to enjoy some beach time and forge bonds across the greater L.A. aerospace community. 

Booz Allen’s El Segundo employees get the opportunity to solve technical problems with a collaborative and supportive culture while working in sight of Pacific sunsets and an In-N-Out Burger. If you’re an engineer, cybersecurity expert, software architect, or a Jack/Jill of all trades, come join the pursuit of new technology areas like space battle management. We’d love to meet you in L.A.
