About The Position

Five Stones Research Corporation (5SRC) is seeking energetic candidates to join our established and growing Huntsville-headquartered team. This role serves as the lead cybersecurity liaison across engineering and program teams, ensuring alignment between cybersecurity objectives and system development. The engineer will work closely with chief engineers, ISSMs, and cross-functional stakeholders to engineer cybersecurity resiliency into all information systems. This position supports the execution of cybersecurity programs by providing guidance, policy alignment, and technical expertise. The engineer will translate security controls into system specifications and ensure secure design integration without impacting mission or performance requirements. They will ensure cybersecurity-derived technical and performance requirements are incorporated into RFPs, contracts, and all program documentation. A holistic view of system security is maintained, validating the effectiveness, suitability, and mission supportability of cybersecurity features. Threat and vulnerability intelligence will be integrated into cybersecurity decision-making, risk assessments, and engineering trade analyses. The role contributes to alternatives analyses to achieve cost-effective, mission-aligned security architectures. System architectures will be evaluated for defense-in-depth protections, recommending configuration changes and countermeasures to reduce cyber risk. SIEM and vulnerability scan outputs will be assessed, identifying weaknesses and recommending corrective actions. System Security Engineering (SSE) requirements will be identified, documented, implemented, and tested throughout the development lifecycle. Recommendations for cyber-enabled technologies and tools that enhance system protection will be provided. Support will be given to system test events, security assessments, and engagements with validation, vulnerability assessment, and compliance teams. The engineer will lead or contribute to program protection analyses for critical program information and components.
