It's heavily EE-oriented and there are a lot of jobs in the defense industry. As with any job, getting one is a combination of demonstrated ability, circumstance, and luck.
 
Ah, thanks for the reply! Interesting - I thought it was more Earth Science than EE. But yes, the EE techniques are going to be extremely helpful for this.
