About The Position

The Cyber Range Event Engineer is a key member of the Event Engineering Team (EET), responsible for designing, deploying, and managing realistic test environments that replicate operational IT systems and weapon platforms on the NCR range. This role is not a cybersecurity or red team position; it requires a strong foundation in systems engineering, infrastructure integration, and the ability to translate mission requirements into deployable systems across a wide range of test scenarios.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Information Technology, or related discipline
8+ years of experience in systems integration, IT infrastructure engineering, or testbed/environment design
Strong understanding of enterprise IT systems (Windows, Linux, AD, Exchange, DNS, databases, etc.)
Experience designing and deploying mission-representative networks (e.g., LAN/WAN, VPN, tactical radios, firewalls, routers, switches)
Proficiency with virtualization platforms (VMware, ESXi, Hyper-V, KVM)
Ability to infer test requirements and translate them into actionable infrastructure plans
Strong verbal and written communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences
Comfortable working independently and collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams

Nice To Haves

Experience supporting DoD test events or mission rehearsals
Familiarity with LVC (Live, Virtual, Constructive) environments or simulation integration
Knowledge of GOTS/COTS systems and their use in operational mission scenarios
Familiarity with RMF or system hardening (but not the primary focus of this role)
Exposure to cyber range infrastructure, but with a focus on deployment rather than cyber TTPs
Prior experience supporting NCR or other military range environments
Experience integrating weapon systems or MIL-STD interfaces

Responsibilities

Work with event sponsors and range users to define technical and operational objectives
Design and implement integrated test environments using traditional IT systems, tactical networks, weapon systems, and representative mission components
Lead the deployment of physical and virtualized systems (compute, network, storage, C2, sensors, etc.) that align with test objectives
Coordinate across engineering teams to ensure environment readiness and interoperability
Create environment design documents, deployment plans, and technical briefings for stakeholders
Support live event execution by managing system configuration, troubleshooting, and real-time adjustments
Capture environment lessons learned to drive repeatability and improvement
