About The Position

V2X is seeking a Senior Cybersecurity Infrastructure Engineer III to join its Cybersecurity Engineering Team supporting the COBRA DANE radar program on Shemya Island, Alaska. The position serves as the designated on-site Information System Security Officer (ISSO) and leads multidisciplinary system, network, and cyber engineering work to ensure compliance with Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of the Air Force (DAF) directives. The role reports to the Program Protection Lead in Colorado Springs and receives daily on-site direction from Site Leads. The position supports local unclassified and classified information system enclaves across physical and virtual servers, workstations and thin clients, and enterprise network infrastructure. Work includes administration and maintenance of Solaris, Windows, and Linux systems; network and directory services; RMF documentation and system hardening; operations monitoring; equipment and media security; and coordination of radar system maintenance. Because of Shemya Island’s remote location, the job requires a rotational on-island deployment schedule. Employees typically work 11 hours per day, seven days per week, though hours are not limited to that schedule. Each on-island rotation is followed by uncompensated rest and relaxation (R&R) off-island. The employee must obtain Operator Certification within six months to cover Intelligence Operations Center Operator duties during breaks or staffing shortages; training is provided on site.
