Information Systems Security Engineer, Senior

The Opportunity:

Everyone knows security needs to be “baked in” to 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 skills to design and build secure systems for industry partners and government clients? We’re looking for an engineer who can help create solutions for clients and colleagues that will stand up to even the most advanced cyber threats.

As an Information Systems Security Engineer (ISSE) on our projects, you’ll assist our government clients and colleagues with the development and maintenance of Risk Management Framework (RMF) packages and provide immediate feedback and solutions as required from in-depth system analysis. You’ll work with industry and government teams to identify the right mix of tools and techniques to translate your customer’s needs and future goals into a plan that will enable secure and effective solutions. We need to come up with the best solution, so you’ll investigate new techniques, break free from the legacy model, and go where the industry is going. As a team, we’ll take a critical approach to network design, providing alternatives, and customizing solutions to maintain a balance of security and compliance needs. Your contributions will help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by integrating secure practices like endpoint-based detection, identity, access management, advanced analytics, intrusion detection, and advanced autonomy analysis. You’ll be able to gain experience in Naval communication standards, unmanned system architecture, systems integration, and policy implementation while building peace of mind in critical infrastructure.

Join our team as we improve Naval communication standards, unmanned system architecture, and systems integration through cybersecurity.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
