Job Description
TEMPEST Engineer - TEMPEST Professional Level II (CTP-II) - 3+ yrs of Experience - TS/SCI w/Poly Required
Halogen Engineering Group is looking for a TEMPEST Engineer who will work on a team of TEMPEST engineers and SMEs performing TEMPEST testing and providing TEMPEST engineering recommendations to help ensure the security of our nation's systems.

The devices we use daily, emit RF signals. While these emissions are typically designed to stay within the device and communicate with other devices, they can inadvertently leak sensitive data if not adequately managed. This concept forms a crucial aspect of TEMPEST, as it addresses not only the intentional interception of RF signals, but also the potential vulnerabilities arising from the unintentional release of these signals
