Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, including TLS, certificates, firewalls, and enclave boundary considerations.
Experience integrating systems or applications within government or large-scale enterprise environments.
Familiarity with DISA STIGs, ACAS/NESSUS scanning, and RMF-aligned cybersecurity workflows.
Ability to support field test environments, operate in austere conditions, and travel as required.
Strong written communication skills, including the ability to produce clear ICDs, configuration guides, and integration documentation.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related technical field; four years of equivalent military or industry experience may be substituted.
Active Secret clearance required.
Ability to meet physical and medical requirements applicable to the position.
