The Opportunity:

As a computer network operations (CNO) specialist, you know that embedded and application developers, reverse engineers, and vulnerability analysts all play key roles in the CNO capability development lifecycle.

As a CNO capability development specialist on our team, you’ll support full project lifecycles. Guiding an agile team of professionals, you’ll manage reverse engineering and vulnerability analyses of diverse software problems.
