About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree, or equivalent experience.
  • At least five years of cybersecurity engineering, information assurance, or security architecture experience.
  • A current and active Top Secret clearance, with the ability to obtain TS/SCI status.
  • An ITIL Foundations v4 certificate, or the ability to obtain it within nine months.
  • A strong technical background in system security, network security, cryptography, secure architectures, firewalls, and DevSecOps environments.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Java, C++, and Python, with hands-on experience in secure coding and automation.
  • Familiarity with cloud security across AWS, Azure, or GCP; virtualization; identity management; and security compliance frameworks.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, documentation, and attention-to-detail abilities.

Responsibilities

  • Translate mission objectives, operational needs, threats, and policy requirements into measurable system security requirements and engineering specifications.
  • Participate in systems engineering technical reviews, including system requirements reviews, preliminary design reviews, solution design document reviews, test readiness reviews, and operational readiness reviews.
  • Integrate cybersecurity requirements throughout the system life cycle, from concept development and requirement analysis through architecture design, integration, verification, validation, deployment, sustainment, and disposal.
  • Evaluate system designs for security, resilience, reliability, maintainability, interoperability, scalability, and operational supportability.
  • Develop or review system architecture products, including operational views, logical and physical architecture diagrams, data-flow diagrams, trust-boundary and network diagrams, interface control documents, and deployment diagrams.
  • Develop and maintain cybersecurity artifacts, including system security plans, security control implementation statements, architecture diagrams, risk assessments, remediation plans, contingency plans, and security test documentation.
  • Define security architecture patterns for identity and access management, privileged access, encryption, key management, network segmentation, endpoint protection, logging, monitoring, backup, recovery, and remote access.
  • Design or recommend technical safeguards that protect data in transit, at rest, and in use, consistent with mission and system requirements.
  • Conduct or support threat modeling, attack-surface analysis, misuse-case development, and engineering risk assessments.

Desired Qualifications

  • Knowledge of systems engineering life-cycle processes, including requirements decomposition, functional analysis, design synthesis, integration, verification, validation, and configuration management.
  • Experience with systems engineering and systems security engineering practices.
  • Ability to develop and analyze system, subsystem, interface, and security requirements.
  • Knowledge of security architecture principles, including defense in depth, Zero Trust architecture, identity, credential, and access management, network segmentation and boundary protection, key management, secure configuration, and system hardening.
  • Experience with model-based systems engineering tools or methods, such as SysML, UML, architecture modeling, or digital engineering environments.
  • Experience with enterprise architecture frameworks or Department of War architecture approaches.
  • Experience with risk management and security engineering standards, such as NIST risk management and security-control frameworks.
  • Experience with cyber forensics, intrusion detection, threat analysis, and incident response.
  • A strong background in system and network security, encryption algorithms, cryptography, identity management, and secure architectures.
  • Proficiency with tools such as Splunk, Nessus, Wireshark, Nmap, AWS, Azure, and GCP security suites, and vulnerability management platforms.
  • Knowledge of secure programming in Java, C++, and Python, and automation for security workflows.
  • Ability to communicate complex technical architecture and cybersecurity issues to engineers, program managers, system owners, and senior leaders.
  • Ability to develop clear technical documentation, diagrams, briefings, decision papers, and engineering recommendations.
  • Ability to work effectively across engineering, cybersecurity, operations, acquisition, testing, and sustainment organizations.
  • Ability to manage competing priorities while maintaining technical rigor, traceability, and configuration discipline.
  • Familiarity with DevSecOps practices, virtualized environments, cloud security frameworks, and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform.
  • Certifications such as CISSP, CISSP-ISSEP, CISSP-ISSAP, INCOSE ASEP, GIAC, CEH, or equivalent advanced cybersecurity credentials.
  • Strong communication, documentation, and analytical skills, and attention to detail.
