Job description

Position Overview

Position Overview The Cyber Range Event Engineer is a key member of the Event Engineering Team (EET), responsible for designing, deploying, and managing realistic test environments that replicate operational IT systems and weapon platforms on the NCR range. This role is not a cybersecurity or red team position, it requires a strong foundation in systems engineering, infrastructure integration, and the ability to translate mission requirements into deployable systems across a wide range of test scenarios.

Key Responsibilities

• Work with event sponsors and range users to define technical and operational objectives
• Design and implement integrated test environments using traditional IT systems, tactical networks, weapon systems, and representative mission components
• Lead the deployment of physical and virtualized systems (compute, network, storage, C2, sensors, etc.) that align with test objectives
• Coordinate across engineering teams to ensure environment readiness and interoperability
• Create environment design documents, deployment plans, and technical briefings for stakeholders
• Support live event execution by managing system configuration, troubleshooting, and real-time adjustments
• Capture environment lessons learned to drive repeatability and improvement

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Information Technology, or related discipline
• 8+ years of experience in systems integration, IT infrastructure engineering, or testbed/environment design
• Active Secret Security Clearance with ability to obtain TS/SCI
• Strong understanding of enterprise IT systems (Windows, Linux, AD, Exchange, DNS, databases, etc.)
• Experience designing and deploying mission-representative networks (e.g., LAN/WAN, VPN, tactical radios, firewalls, routers, switches)
• Proficiency with virtualization platforms (VMware, ESXi, Hyper‑V, KVM)
• Ability to infer test requirements and translate them into actionable infrastructure plans
• Strong verbal and written communication skills for both technical and non‑technical audiences
• Comfortable working independently and collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams

Desired Skills

• Experience supporting DoD test events or mission rehearsals
• Familiarity with LVC (Live, Virtual, Constructive) environments or simulation integration
• Knowledge of GOTS/COTS systems and their use in operational mission scenarios
• Familiarity with RMF or system hardening (but not the primary focus of this role)
• Exposure to cyber range infrastructure, but with a focus on deployment rather than cyber TTPs
• Prior experience supporting NCR or other military range environments
• Experience integrating weapon systems or MIL‑STD interfaces

Travel Requirements

• Minimal travel (10%)
