PKI Network Engineer

The Opportunity

Everyone knows security needs to be "baked" in to a system architecture, but you actually know how to bake it in. You can identify and implement ways to harden systems and reduce their attack surface. What if you could use your cyber engineering and architecture skills to design and build secure systems for Marine Corps clients? We're looking for an engineer who can help create solutions for the Marine Corps that will stand up to even the most advanced cyber threats.

As a PKI Network Engineer on our project, you'll perform PKI Tier II troubleshooting on Marine Corps systems relating to PKI-specific incidents, including cryptographic logon, certificate validation, and domain controller certificates. You'll provide hardware and software technical support to operate, troubleshoot, and scale three separate forests, classified, unclassified and tactical, with separate infrastructure and services. You'll provide expertise in the development, deployment, and configuration of Certificate Authority (CA) infrastructure and Certificate Validation Infrastructure (CVI). You'll leverage PKI subject matter expertise in resolving issues within all Marine Corps networks in collaboration with other service providers while providing technical guidance to junior engineers and design support personnel. As a team, we'll take a critical approach to network design, providing alternatives and customizing solutions to maintain a balance of security and mission needs. Join our team as we improve warfighter communications through cybersecurity.
