Are you ready to take your career to the next level while contributing to the defense of our nation? Peraton, a recognized leader in Cyber, Digital Transformation, Cloud, Operations, and Engineering, is seeking a skilled Network Cyber Security Engineer to support a world-wide national intelligence program. This role plays a crucial part in delivering mission-critical technology solutions to the U.S. Intelligence Community, supporting operations that safeguard our nation’s security. With the growing number of breaches of tactical and non-tactical computer systems, there is an increasing need to focus on the engineering aspects of CS. CS continues to be approached as compliance-based and this has not addressed significant shortcomings and vulnerabilities in the security of naval warfare systems and other service warfare systems. CS requirements must be included during the design, development, and sustainment phases of systems acquisition to ensure they are secure and Cyber-resilient throughout their Life-Cycle. Additionally, previously designed, and fielded systems must be evaluated on an engineering basis to determine potential changes to their design or supportability approaches.
