Senior Cyber Systems Engineer (SETA)

Peraton•Chantilly, VA

About The Position

The Senior Cyber Systems Engineer will be responsible for serving as an expert on tradecraft associated with computer network operations. This role involves leveraging analytical tools like Splunk and Wireshark for PCAP analysis, conducting technical computer network analysis including network infrastructure, logical network topology, data flows, and security posture. The engineer will utilize knowledge of computer and network operating systems (e.g. Windows, Linux, etc.), hardware/network management tools and equipment (e.g. routers, switches, servers, etc.), and protocols (e.g. TCP/IP, SMTP, TLS/SSL, etc.). Additionally, the role requires knowledge of reconnaissance techniques (active or passive) such as foot-printing, scanning networks, and enumeration, and staying updated on current attack vectors and exploitation methods. A key aspect of this position is the ability to communicate complex technical information to non-technical or less-technical audiences at all levels.
