About The Position

As a cryptography engineer, you’ll work with Booz Allen colleagues and the U.S. Space Force on cryptographic strategies that will sustain and evolve the next generation Resilient Missile Warning and Tracking (RWMT), Tactical Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (TISR), and Environmental Monitoring (EM). You will work with cross-functional and cross-organizational Crypto, Cyber, and Command teams on new and novel approaches to cryptographic solutions and architectures that will inform senior leadership on critical security decisions relevant to protection of national security. This is an opportunity to use your critical thinking and analytical skillsets to inform government leaders and commanders on solutions to cryptographic challenges and enhance crypto capabilities that will provide critical information to our warfighter during combat engagements. If you want to be in the fight with our client, influencing the most critical global Space and Terrestrial combat missions, this is the opportunity for you. This is a position that provides direct, shoulder-to-shoulder work with U.S. Space Force policy makers and military Commanders that directly contributes to future on-orbit designs needed to drive success for critical global missions.
