This Staff Cyber Systems Engineer position is for a Ground Cyber Architect for a complex space system - where you will provide Subject Matter Expertise enabling greater application agility among on-premises computing environments and customer-provided cloud-hosted infrastructures and platforms.
You will be responsible for designing the cybersecurity elements of the ground subsystem and related Mission-Unique Software. This position requires extensive experience with software security assurance, secure coding best practices, establishing security quality metrics, remediation of software weaknesses, and secure deployment of application software for both on-premises and customer cloud computing applications. Prior knowledge and experience applying Cyber/Systems Security Engineering (Cyber/SSE) principles to complex systems in the early system development phase of the lifecycle is essential.
You will be responsible for internal/external stakeholder coordination of Cyber/SSE requirements, development status, milestones, and deliverables. Exceptional customer intimacy skills are essential. Additionally, you will coordinate multi-disciplinary activities across multiple overlapping threads and engineering specialties - Ground Software Engineering, Cyber Software Security Assurance (C/SSA), Mission Software Integration, Systems Engineering Integration & Test (SEIT), ISSM, ISSE, and ISSO roles. You will have primary oversight of ISSE and C/SSA activities focused on Cyber CDRL development and Static and Dynamic security scanning of Ground Mission Unique Software. Implementing SECURITY into a DevSecOps CI/CD pipeline is part of the hands-on skills required for this position. Strong technical qualifications are required, with demonstrated leadership on complex development efforts.
Additional Responsibilities for a Staff Ground Cyber Architect:
Working as a programmatic lead in a structured engineering environment, where you may supervise and prioritize “driving” security requirements.
Negotiating security responsibilities with external IAAS & PAAS providers for every layer of the technology stack between hardware and application layer.
Deep understanding of virtualization technologies with emphasis on cloud computing environments. Knowledge and certifications in Cloud Security architectures is a plus.
Developing security-focused assessment procedures for application containers and container orchestration environments, such as Kubernetes is essential.
Connecting systems and subsystems having different security classification levels using approved Cross Domain Solutions and/or Data Diodes.
Leading Cyber/SSE element technical presentations during engineering milestone reviews – SRR, PDR, CDR, and PSR in accordance with our internal, NG Cyber Systems Engineering Standards document.
As the Cyber/SSE thread-lead, project management experience is crucial, to include experience as a Cost Account Manager (CAM) within large programs required to use Earned Value Management System (EVMS).
Supervise C/SSA processes to include ensuring Static Code Analysis (SCA) tool(s) (e.g. Fortify, SonarQube) are integrated into ground software development environments; triage tool findings to prioritize remediation activities.
Defining programmatic Cyber guidance to shepherd software development scrum teams on secure coding practices, security-focused engineering trade studies, and other security best practices for our mission unique software development efforts.
Ensuring the multi-disciplinary team are remediating security tool findings by working with software developers, systems engineers, and other engineering disciplines to resolve technical and programmatic cybersecurity concerns.
Understanding of Space/Ground interface control documents and security-relevant connectivity considerations.
Leading other Cyber/SSE personnel in the development of program CDRLs.
Ensuring systems are operated, maintained, and disposed of in accordance with security policies and procedures.
Championing automation efforts across all DevSecOps disciplines to routinely accomplish SCAP compliance scans, vulnerability scans, container scans.
Basic Qualifications:
Bachelors Degree in STEM field with 14 years of experience (or Masters with 12 yrs, or PhD with 9 yrs). Experience can be considered in lieu of degree.
14 years IT security (Cybersecurity) experience in support of USG.
9 years technical leadership experience.
Must have U.S. Citizenship, with active TS/SCI clearance at time of application.
CISSP Certification.
Demonstrated experience with Space Ground Architectures.
Demonstrated experience with RMF and Splunk.
Familiarity with Systems Engineering processes and milestones.
Must have a commitment to working on-site, inside restricted office spaces.
Preferred Qualifications:
15 years Cyber/SSE experience in the Defense Aerospace Industry.
5 years experience working within restricted program areas.
Formal EVMS project management training with CAM experience.
Demonstrated engineering leadership experience participating in Systems Engineering milestone reviews.
