About The Position

The Cyber Range Engineer is responsible for designing, building, operating, and sustaining cyber range environments that support training, exercises, and mission rehearsals for defensive and offensive cyber missions. This role directly supports the development of realistic, scalable, and secure virtual environments used to train cyber operators, test tools and tactics, and execute complex cyber exercise scenarios. The Cyber Range Engineer works closely with exercise planners, scenario developers, red and blue teams, and infrastructure engineers to ensure ranges accurately reflect real-world operational conditions and mission objectives. This position requires a strong combination of hands-on technical expertise, systems integration experience, and the ability to translate exercise requirements into functional cyber range architectures. The Cyber Range Engineer designs and engineers virtualized and containerized environments that replicate enterprise, cloud, and mission-focused networks for cyber training and exercise execution. The engineer builds, configures, and maintains cyber range infrastructure, including virtual machines, networks, enclaves, and supporting services, to enable full-spectrum training objectives. In this role, you’ll integrate tools, scripts, and platforms used by red, blue, and white teams, as well as support exercise execution by troubleshooting technical issues, restoring environments, and adjusting range configurations in real time. You’ll collaborate with scenario developers to implement scenario injects, adversary behaviors, and data flows that align with exercise objectives. You’ll also be responsible for documenting range architectures, configurations, and standard operating procedures, and supporting continuous improvement of range capabilities, automation, and scalability.
