Responsibilities
- Systems engineering & acquisition support — 75%
- Work across program lifecycles to design, evaluate, and integrate cyber-resilient solutions into special warfare, rotary- and fixed-wing, and other weapon systems.
- Provide expert-level evaluation of designs and proposed implementation solutions to defend weapon systems against malicious and non-malicious exploitation.
- Translate operational, safety, and mission assurance requirements into practical system security engineering (SSE) approaches and implementation guidance based on NIST 800-53.
- Evaluate designs and vendor solutions for security posture, Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM), and operational impact; recommend mitigations and trade-offs to program teams.
- Assist Program Offices in developing Program Protection Plans (PPP), Anti-Tamper (AT) approaches, Interface Control Documents (ICDs), and secure architecture diagrams.
- Ensure cyber requirements are captured in Statements of Work (SOW), Contract Deliverable Requirements Lists (CDRLs), and technical evaluations of vendor proposals.
- Provide proactive engineering solutions for continuous monitoring, secure communications, and mission continuity during degraded/contested environments.
- Institutionalize tools/processes and coach program teams to sustainably implement cyber best practices across the directorate.
- RMF / Assessment & Authorization (A&A) — 25%
- Apply RMF to develop A&A packages (IATT, ATC, ATO) and continuous monitoring plans; coordinate artifacts with ISSMs, AOs, and higher headquarters.
- Conduct system-level threat and vulnerability assessments, develop residual risk recommendations, and brief findings to program leadership and authorizing officials.
- Support testing/assessment activities and closure of cybersecurity findings using risk-based prioritization.
- Stakeholder engagement and leadership
- Coordinate across Program Offices, ISSMs, Aircraft AOs, PEO staff, MAJCOM/Center leadership, and external vendors to align engineering solutions with policy and operational needs.
- Provide timely, clear risk-communication and decision-support to senior DoD/AF leadership; be coachable and able to coach technical teammates.
- Actively participate in cross-program working groups and IPTs to share lessons learned and drive repeatable cyber-resilient practices.
