This Principal Cyber Systems Engineering position is an experienced role requiring demonstrated technical knowledge, cybersecurity certification(s), and other cybersecurity accomplishments that are needed to secure Space Systems. Space Systems are comprised of multiple segments and this position has responsibilities across Space Segments, Communications Segments, and Ground Segments.
To be successful, you must have the experience and maturity to work independently as an individual technical contributor on small teams to secure multiple space missions. This team-focused position is primarily engaged during the Operations & Sustainment mission phase; however, knowledge of the complete Systems Development LifeCycle (SDLC) is essential for mission success. This position requires a broad range of skillsets and interests, including defensive cyber operations, Cybersecurity Systems Engineering, and RMF ISSO responsibilities.
Job Responsibilities:
Work as an individual contributor representing the Cyber domain within an integrated product team (IPT) to architect, implement, and execute Risk Management Framework (RMF) CyberSecurity, CyberResilience, and/or CyberSurvivability requirements of satellite systems, communications links, and ground command & control (C2) systems.
Analyze System Security Engineering requirements in support of satisfying program protection requirements, work with systems engineers to decompose system-level security requirements across the segments and down to specific components.
Perform Attack Surface Analysis (ASA) and prepare Systems Security Plans (SSPs) documentation for complex space systems including Risk Assessment Reports (RAR), Security Control Traceability Matrices (SCTM), and Security Assessment Reports.
Perform traditional ISSO responsibilities for complex mission systems by maintaining all RMF deliverables and related artifacts.
Preparation and execution of assessment procedures to verify conformance with Commercial, Federal Civilian agency, Department of Defense (DoD), Intelligence Community, and/or Special Access Program, IA/Cyber security controls, and or survivability requirements.
Lead the implementation and verification of specific security components by performing systems engineering, integration, and test (SEIT) activities for security-critical components.
Work in an Agile engineering environment where the Cybersecurity Engineers may assist in triage of Static Code Analysis (SCA) tool findings.
Deploy security infrastructure and services for Mission Unique Software (MUS) in computing clouds and/or highly virtualized environments.
Prepare Certification To Field (CTF) assessment procedures.
Conduct Defensive Cyber Operations activities including vulnerability scanning, remediation, and patch management activities.
Document Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and perform (or contribute to) software patch installation, other flaw remediation, antivirus updates, and continuous monitoring (ConMon) activities.
Ensure systems are operated, maintained, and disposed of in accordance with security policies and procedures as outlined in the system security plan (SSP).
To Be Successful in this role you should have:
Experience operating systems/networks to use, or hands-on experience operating, DISA Host Based Security System (HBSS) or Endpoint Security Suite (ESS) solutions.
Experience designing or operating systems/networks to use, or hands-on experience with industry platform hardening practices.
Experience conducting security log reviews and implementing the RMF Assessment & Authorization (A&A) process.
Excellent technical document preparation skills and related artifacts as required to satisfy security controls.
Demonstrated ability to communicate with a variety of stakeholders ranging from technical staffers up to senior program managers.
There will be a strong focus on Sec + or CISSP or similar experience, RMF, and JSIG experience.
Basic Qualifications:
Must have U.S. Citizenship with active or current Top Secret Security Clearance, with eligibility to obtain SCI.
BS degree in STEM with 5 years of IA/cybersecurity experience, preferably for USG customers; or 3 years with a Masters’; or 0 with a PhD.
Security Plus certification (CISSP preferred).
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with the JSIG version of RMF.
CDS (cross domain solutions) experience.
Salary Range:
$107,300 - $160,900
The above salary range represents a general guideline; however, Northrop Grumman considers a number of factors when determining base salary offers.
