About The Position

Everyone knows security needs to be “baked in” to a system architecture—you actually know how to bake it in. You can identify and implement ways to harden systems and reduce their attack surface for unmanned vehicles. What if you could use your cyber architecture skills to lead the design and development of secure systems for the US Navy? We’re looking for a cyber engineer who can create autonomous solutions for Navy that will withstand even the most advanced cyber threats. As a lead Cybersecurity Engineer at Booz Allen, you’ll lead cyber efforts to enhance security of unmanned and autonomous platforms. You’ll coordinate work with in-house teams, legacy OEMs, and start-ups to identify the right mix of tools and techniques to translate your customer’s Cyber needs and goals into a plan that will enable secure and effective solutions. We need to come up with the best solutions, so you’ll advise on new techniques, break free from the legacy model, and go where the industry is going. You’ll guide the team through a critical approach to network design, providing alternatives and customizing solutions to maintain a balance of security and mission needs. This is a chance to lead a team to make a difference in the security of autonomous and unmanned war fighting area. You’ll oversee efforts to help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by integrating secure practices and identifying new solutions. You’ll broaden your skillset into areas like AI, autonomy, rapid acquisitions, and growing unmanned industry while building peace of mind in a critical infrastructure. As a technical leader, you’ll identify new opportunities to use cybersecurity solutions to help your clients meet their toughest challenges. Work with us as we protect and advance unmanned and uncrewed platforms in the Navy. Join us. The world can’t wait.
