Job description

Job Description

Everforth ECS Federal is seeking a C-sUAS Network Security Analyst supporting a Department of War customer in the National Capital Region. The Network Security Analyst assesses counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) equipment and networks for net worthiness and identifies cybersecurity conditions affecting connection and operation. The analyst turns technical documentation, security findings, and authorization requirements into organized actions which support government review and fielding decisions. The position oversees compilation of Risk Management Framework (RMF) and authorization artifacts and maintains the supporting records in the Enterprise Mission Assurance Support Service (eMASS). The analyst works directly with vendors, supported units, and government security stakeholders to resolve documentation gaps and coordinate authorization and connection-approval activities. This is a fast-moving technical environment where equipment and network configurations continue to evolve. The role requires a cybersecurity professional who maintains traceable documentation, follows deficiencies through resolution, and explains authorization risks in terms of their operational impact. Authorization decisions remain with the appropriate government authorities.

Primary Duties

• Assess C-UAS equipment and network designs for net worthiness, identifying security and documentation gaps which could prevent authorization or connection.
• Coordinate preparation of RMF artifacts, aligning system descriptions, boundaries, data flows, and supporting evidence with proposed system configurations.
• Collect, review, and organize vendor- and unit-provided cybersecurity documentation for completeness and consistency before government review.
• Enter, maintain, and update system records and authorization-package artifacts in eMASS, keeping documentation aligned with current equipment and network configurations.
• Coordinate Authorization to Operate (ATO), Authorization to Operate with Conditions (ATOc), and Authorization to Connect (ATC) activities with vendors, supported units, and government security stakeholders.
• Track security findings, corrective actions, responsible parties, and outstanding evidence, and follow up with technical teams to resolve deficiencies.
• Review equipment and network changes for impacts to existing authorization documentation and coordinate updates needed for government assessment.
• Identify authorization dependencies which could affect integration or fielding schedules and brief their operational implications and recommended actions to government leads.
• Maintain clear records of package status, reviewer comments, and open conditions so supported units and vendors understand actions needed before connection or operation.
• Support responses to assessors and authorizing officials with traceable evidence and technical recommendations and document the disposition of review comments.

Required Skills

• Must be a US Citizen
• Active DoD TS/SCI clearance
• Must have a bachelor’s degree. Relevant experience and certifications may be considered in lieu of degree requirements.
• Experience supporting the Risk Management Framework process.
• Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) or CompTIA SecurityX certification.
• Experience using eMASS to manage system records, security artifacts, and authorization-package information.
• Ability to assess equipment and network documentation, identify security or authorization gaps, and organize actions needed to resolve them.
• Ability to compile and maintain complete, internally consistent authorization artifacts as system configurations and supporting information change.
• Ability to coordinate technical and documentation requirements with vendors, supported units, assessors, and government security stakeholders.
• Ability to communicate authorization status, unresolved findings, and connection constraints to technical teams and military and civilian leadership.
• Strong attention to detail, written and verbal communication skills, and the initiative to manage multiple open actions with minimal supervision.

Desired Skills

• Experience with Air Defense Artillery (ADA) or C-UAS networks.
• Experience supporting authorization and connection-approval activities for vendor-provided systems in experimentation, assessment, or fielding environments.
• Experience coordinating corrective actions and maintaining authorization documentation through equipment or network configuration changes.
• Experience translating cybersecurity findings and authorization conditions into practical actions for operational and technical teams.
