Job description

Standard Job Description

This applicant will join an organization of highly skilled engineers with a wide variety of backgrounds. This organization designs and develops the highest quality products using the best processes and tools to accelerate adoption and transition of modern and unrivaled secure capabilities. This team surpasses its competition and is shaping the industry by delivering value, excellence, innovation, efficiency, and security.

Standard Job Description

This Cyber Architect candidate is responsible for ensuring that cyber security requirements are properly defined, decomposed, allocated, assessed, and implemented into a system architecture to produce a cyber-resilient security design solution for the target platform (Air System or Weapon System). This includes participating in working groups, design reviews, and formal artifact reviews alongside other Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) within the overall platform; and providing security expertise to ensure that cyber security is considered early in the product development lifecycle.

This applicant is expected to lead a range of cyber risk analysis and security assessment methods; identify and define appropriate mitigations to address cyber vulnerabilities, feature changes, or obsolescence; develop documentation for specific installations and configurations necessary to obtain Authorizations to Operation (ATOs) in support of program schedules; and drive Plans of Actions and Milestones (POAMs) to mitigate open cyber risks.

This applicant's efforts will align to the technical execution of a range of model-based engineering initiatives, including interpreting existing documentation and technical inputs to develop models, and conducting experiments with cutting edge technology/processes to drive rigor and digital engineering transformation in our Aeronautics Programs of Record. Likewise, the applicant will support the building of relationships and partnerships with leading DoD technology performers to capitalize on unique skillsets and capability offerings that drive efficiencies and effectiveness in our products and any follow-on new business capture.

The ideal candidate will communicate effectively with a range of audiences, technical and non-technical, and will function effectively on an engineering team to create a collaborative environment that allows for the establishment of mission goals, itemized planning of tasks, and prioritization of tasks that drives the efficient execution of objectives.

Must be a US citizen. This position is located at a facility that requires special access and a secret clearance updated within the last 5 years to be considered. Responsible for cyber security requirements, architecture, development, design, test and integration of systems. Utilizes best practices to drive informed risk-based decisions regarding controls that maintain integrity, visibility, compliance and resiliency.

Basic Qualifications

• B.S. degree in a technical discipline such as Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Security, or Information Technology – or equivalent applied experience.
• 3+ years of experience in Systems Engineering
• 4+ years of experience with System and/or Security Architecture

Desired Skills

• Experience utilizing Joint Special Access Program (SAP) Implementation Guide (JSIG), Committee on National Security Systems Instruction (CNSSI) 1253, and NIST SP 800-37 Risk Management Framework (RMF) to design and harden information systems commensurate with customer needs
• Experience executing Systems Engineering processes (i.e., requirements management, requirements decomposition, system modeling, integration & test)
• Experience analyzing, decomposing, and allocating system architectures, requirements, and models
• Experience ensuring that cyber security requirements are properly defined, decomposed, allocated, assessed, and implemented into a system architecture to produce a cyber-resilient security design solution for the target platform
• Prior software engineering / development experience for embedded platforms
• Experience with engineering change processes and/or configuration control processes
• IASAE Level II – IAW 8570 or higher certification (CASP+ CE, CISSP, CSSLP)
• Experience with Agile project management tools (JIRA, VersionOne, etc.)
• Experience developing security architecture representations (e.g. Accreditation Boundaries, Physical Diagrams, Logical Diagrams, Functional Diagrams, and Rack Layouts), system design modeling (UML, SysML, Rhapsody, Cameo, MagicDraw), as well as requirements management
• Experience performing vulnerability analysis, using automated assessment tools, and identifying risks and mitigations
• Experience with the development and sustainment of real-time embedded systems (avionics systems or similar)
• Experience with Real-Time Embedded Operating Systems (e.g. GreenHills INEGRITY, LynxOS, VxWorks, Yocto)
