About The Position

This applicant will join an organization of highly skilled engineers with a wide variety of backgrounds. This organization designs and develops the highest quality products using the best processes and tools to accelerate adoption and transition of modern and unrivaled secure capabilities. This team surpasses it’s competition and is shaping the industry by delivering value, excellence, innovation, efficiency, and security. This Cyber Architect candidate is responsible for ensuring that cyber security requirements are properly defined, decomposed, allocated, assessed, and implemented into a system architecture to produce a cyber-resilient security design solution for the target platform (Air System or Weapon System). This includes participating in working groups, design reviews, and formal artifact reviews alongside other Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) within the overall platform; and providing security expertise to ensure that cyber security is considered early in the product development lifecycle. This applicant is expected to lead a range of cyber risk analysis and security assessment methods; identify and define appropriate mitigations to address cyber vulnerabilities, feature changes, or obsolescence; develop documentation for specific installations and configurations necessary to obtain Authorizations to Operation (ATOs) in support of program schedules; and drive Plans of Actions and Milestones (POAMs) to mitigate open cyber risks. This applicants efforts will align to the technical execution of a range of model-based engineering initiatives, including interpreting existing documentation and technical inputs to develop models, and conducting experiments with cutting edge technology/processes to drive rigor and digital engineering transformation in our Aeronautics Programs of Record. Likewise, the applicant will support the building of relationships and partnerships with leading DoD technology performers to capitalize on unique skillsets and capability offerings that drive efficiencies and effectiveness in our products and any follow-on new business capture. The ideal candidate will communicate effectively with a range of audiences, technical and non-technical, and will function effectively on an engineering team to create a collaborative environment that allows for the establishment of mission goals, itemized planning of tasks, and prioritization of tasks that drives the efficient execution of objectives. Must be a US citizen. This position is located at a facility that requires special access and a secret clearance updated within the last 5 years to be considered.
