Description Do you love to push the bounds of science and technology while solving some of the most ambitious problems facing our Nation? If so, we seek an Engineering Lead with the creativity and dedication to join our team of innovative scientists and engineers who have a real passion for cyber research and advancing novel technology concepts. Your role will be to lead diverse teams in the end-to-end engineering of blended (defense and offense) solutions for military and space systems that enhance resilience in cyberspace. Our hardworking team believes in learning, experimenting, and finding creative new ways to apply research. We value collaboration, and we foster a work environment of teamwork, different perspectives, and open exchange of ideas. As a Military/Space Cyber Engineering Lead for the Resilient Military Systems Group, you will: Analyze and evolve the architecture, design, constraints, and requirements of fielded systems to enhance system resilience to cyber attack in the presence of a hostile cyber environment. Lead technical teams in the definition and design of robust and resilient solutions for the acquisitions, operations and sustainment of systems operating in hostile cyber environments. Contribute to strategy and early concept demonstration and development for new solutions considering cyber concerns and constraints while respecting and operating within the context of other system constraints. Innovate solutions to bring defend-forward, offensive cyber, and threat hunting concepts and capabilities to constrained military/space systems and operations. Qualifications You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you... Have a Bachelors in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Computer, Electrical Engineering, or related fields. Have at least 5 years of experience designing, developing and maintaining military and/or space systems with sophisticated computational and processing dependencies. Have experience designing solutions that inhibit or mitigate operational impact from cyber-attack given constraints of funding, operations, performance and/or organization. Have experience engineering solutions that establish cyber accesses and/or deliver effects that create operational impact in constrained contexts. Hold knowledge of current cybersecurity standards, cybersecurity policy issues, and cyber systems operations. Have demonstrated team leadership and project management skills.
