Cybersecurity R&D Systems Architect - ELSYS - On Site - Warner Robins, GA - (Open Rank)
The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is the nonprofit, applied research division of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). Founded in 1934 as the Engineering Experiment Station, GTRI has grown to more than 2,900 employees, supporting eight laboratories in over 20 locations around the country and performing more than $940 million of problem-solving research annually for government and industry. GTRI's renowned researchers combine science, engineering, economics, policy, and technical expertise to solve complex problems for the U.S. federal government, state, and industry.Job Purpose
The Cybersecurity Research and Development Systems Architect designs and develops new systems, applications, and solutions for external sponsors’ enterprise-wide cyber systems and networks. The Cybersecurity R&D Systems Architect is responsible for driving adoption, identifying and defining new security objectives and controls and helping with the organization’s automated security validation development. This researcher also performs vulnerability analysis and exploitation of applications, operating systems and/or networks. The Cybersecurity R&D Systems Architect designs and implements Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) security solutions, and applies those ICAM solutions to advanced problem domains such as federation and trusted information sharing within select target communities of sponsors and project stakeholders. The Architect ensures system security needs are established and maintained for operations development, security requirements definition, security risk assessment, systems analysis, systems design, security test and evaluation, certification and accreditation, systems hardening, vulnerability testing and scanning, incident response, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning. The Cybersecurity R&D Systems Architect also provides analytical support for security policy development and analysis, integrates new architectural features into existing infrastructures, designs cyber security architectural artifacts, provides architectural analysis of cyber security features and relates existing systems to future needs and trends. In addition, the Architect embeds advanced forensic tools and techniques for attack reconstruction, provides engineering recommendations, and resolves integration and testing issues. The Cybersecurity R&D Systems Architect serves in a consultative role, defining controls for different platforms, including definition of protection rule sets, and threat mitigations for potential threats. The Cybersecurity R&D Systems Architect also interacts, advises, and counsels on a regular basis with internal staff as well as project sponsors and other stakeholders from the communities in which these solutions are implemented.Key Responsibilities
Direct sponsor engagement and facilitate product or system requirements gathering and analysisVerify cybersecurity engineering product life-cycle including definition, requirements analysis, synthesis, cyber engineering analysis and implementationConduct product or system design synthesis translating requirements into physical cyber architectures for systems of moderate complexityContribute to technical reports and diagrams detailing product or system attributesAnalyze network security systems and/or information systems and safeguard networks against unauthorized modification, destruction, or disclosureEnsure Configuration Management (CM) of all associated software, hardware, and security relevant functionsRequired Minimum Qualifications
Experience implementing principals of RMF and NIST publications on information systemsExperience with examining system implementations of cybersecurity controls for their applicability and their level of effectivenessExperience with designing security and continuous monitoring plans for systemsExperience with developing cybersecurity requirements for information systems within acquisition and sustainment lifecyclesEducation and Length of Experience
Levels 3, 4This position vacancy is an open-rank announcement. The final job offer will be dependent on candidate qualifications in alignment with Research Faculty Extension Professional ranks as outlined in section 3.2.1 of the Georgia Tech Faculty Handbook.5 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Mathematics, or related field3 years of related experience with a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Mathematics, or related field0 years of related experience with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Mathematics, or related fieldDue to our research contracts with the U.S. federal government, candidates for this position must be U.S. Citizens.Clearance Type Required
