About The Position

At Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, innovation is paramount, with engineers working on cutting-edge technology from advanced air vehicles to gravity-defying aircraft. The Cyber System Security Engineer is responsible for ensuring that cyber security requirements are properly defined, decomposed, allocated, implemented, and assessed to create a cyber-resilient security design solution for target platforms (Air System or Weapon System). This involves participating in working groups, design reviews, and formal artifact reviews with Subject Matter Experts, providing security expertise early in the product development lifecycle. The role also entails leading cyber risk analysis and security assessment methods, implementing patches and Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) to address vulnerabilities, and developing documentation for Authorizations to Operation (ATOs). The engineer will contribute to and implement Plans of Actions and Milestones (POA&Ms) to mitigate cyber risks. The ideal candidate will possess strong communication skills for diverse audiences and effectively collaborate within an engineering team to establish mission goals, plan tasks, and prioritize objectives for efficient execution. This position requires US citizenship and a government security clearance, and is located at a facility requiring special access.
