Overview: Position Overview The Secure Network Engineer will provide technical leadership and hands-on expertise in secure networking for critical ground infrastructure systems supporting national security missions. This role ensures resilient, compliant, and cyber-secure networking across development, integration, testing, and operational phases. The engineer will directly support program management, systems engineering, cybersecurity, integration and test, and operations. Key Responsibilities Program & Technical Leadership * Attend and lead technical and program reviews, working groups, and design milestones (SRR, PDR, CDR, ORR). * Ensure compliance with applicable engineering and quality standards, including IEEE 15288.x, SAE AS9100, AS6500, and MIL-STD-882E. * Provide technical deliverables and documentation related to secure networking. Ground Transition & Integration * Support secure networking during hardware/software integration and ground system transitions. * Establish and maintain network connectivity, security controls, and cryptographic device management. * Ensure proper handling of COMSEC devices, spares, and keying materials. Program Management * Provide secure networking inputs to project schedules and integrated master plans. * Track milestones, risks, and deliverables related to networking security activities. Systems Engineering * Lead or support requirements definition, risk management, and technical performance tracking. * Develop and maintain networking artifacts within model-based systems engineering (MBSE) environments. * Support verification, validation, and system safety planning for secure networking elements. * Deliver sustainment and maintenance planning for secure networking infrastructure. Integration & Test * Develop, review, and maintain interface control documents for networking systems. * Support integration and test activities with vendors and mission partners. * Troubleshoot connectivity issues and ensure interoperability across systems and mission partners. * Participate in test readiness reviews and resolve findings. Cybersecurity * Support cybersecurity testing and evaluation of ground systems. * Develop and maintain cybersecurity body of evidence (e.g., workforce rosters, PPS matrices, STIGs, compliance reports, network diagrams, device configs). * Conduct vulnerability assessments, compliance scans, and mitigation activities. * Protect systems against TEMPEST-related threats and information leakage. Operations & Sustainment * Design, plan, and execute secure network infrastructure installations at operational facilities. * Maintain ground system infrastructure with updated configurations. * Support nominal and backup operations of ground elements as the secure networking lead. Travel Requirements * Up to 25% travel to program offices, operational facilities, and contractor/vendor sites. Responsibilities: * Active DoD Secret Clearance (TS/SCI Preferred). * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Electrical Engineering, or related field. * 7+ years of experience in secure networking, systems engineering, or cybersecurity for DoD/IC programs. * Expertise in DISA STIGs, RMF, COMSEC handling, TEMPEST protections, and IA Workforce requirements. * Experience with MBSE tools (Cameo, Rhapsody, MagicDraw, or equivalent). * Familiarity with IEEE 15288.x, SAE AS9100, AS6500, and MIL-STD-882E standards. Qualifications: * Experience with large-scale ground systems integration (satellite, space, or defense systems). * Hands-on with cryptographic devices (e.g., KIV-7M, TACLANE, KG-series). * Strong background in DoD program scheduling and risk management. * CISSP, CCNP Security, or DoD 8570/8140 certification. * Prior work with SSC, SMC, or other space enterprise programs.
