Work at the forefront of cybersecurity research and development, delivering capabilities to protect national security. Our projects cover the spectrum of security technologies, hardware architectures, and operating systems; if it runs code, we're interested in its security. We see the impact we have on our nation's security each day. We ensure our engineers have the tools they need to excel and we recognize superb results. 

Position Overview 

We're seeking a Systems Security Engineer to ensure secure product integration into forward-deployed DoD tactical systems such as radars, missile defense platforms, C4ISR systems, and other mission-critical fielded equipment. You'll work directly with customer platform program offices to help architect security approaches that address operational constraints of tactical environments while meeting DoD security requirements. 

This is not an administrative RMF compliance role. We need someone who can engineer security into tactical hardware/software systems at the lowest levels, then help navigate the authorization process. You'll work hands-on with actual platforms in test labs and operational environments, not just enterprise IT infrastructure. 

What You'll Do 

• Integrate products into security architectures 

• Develop security solutions that work within the constraints of forward-deployed systems (SWaP limitations, real-time requirements, etc) 

• Create meaningful security artifacts including Attack Trees for operational systems, Key Management Plans for product or system crypto implementations, and System Security Plans for fielded platforms 

• Map security requirements across different customer frameworks (800-53, Anti-Tamper, Cyber Survivability, Zero Trust) and translate them into implementable technical solutions 

• Interface with platform security personnel and accreditation authorities to support authorization processes 

Required Skills Include: 

Core Technical Experience 

• Experience with tactical/embedded DoD systems - actual hands-on security or software integration work with platforms such as: 

• Radar systems 

• Missile defense systems 

• Avionics or flight control systems 

• C4ISR equipment 

• Electronic warfare systems 

• Tactical communication systems 

• Other forward-deployed mission systems
