Pentagon, DC (Off-Site/Hybrid)
Sensor & Monitoring Control Systems Cybersecurity Consultant
Location: Onsite at the Pentagon 2 days/week
Clearance: Top Secret with SCI
Rate: 100-115/hr 1099 or 175K W2 with full benefits
Sensor & Monitoring Control Systems Cybersecurity Consultant will leverage 5+ years of experience to support Air Force Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) by integrating OT cyber requirements into the AF Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) community. Will oversee sensor deployments (IDCS, VOLTRN+) and work to drive OT incident detection/incident response capabilities into the community. Acting as a technical liaison to AF cyber forces, this mid-tier consultant will translate OT mission criticality into actionable plans to manage effectiveness of monitoring sensors, and ensure personnel roles and certifications align with evolving threat-monitoring requirements. The role demands strong analytical acumen, hands-on familiarity with security sensor (intrusion-detection) platforms, and clear communication with both technical operators and senior leadership.
Required Skills (3–5 years’ experience)
• Sensor Deployment & Management – 3–5 years configuring, deploying, and tuning cybersecurity intrusion detection systems
• Dashboard Analytics & Visualization – Building and maintaining real-time threat dashboards (e.g., Splunk, ELK, or similar platforms)
• Defensive Cyber Operations Support – Collaborating with DCO teams to translate OT data into incident-detection and response actions
• Control Systems Security – Understanding of OT/ICS network protocols and how sensor data maps to control-system assets
• Stakeholder Communication – Preparing and presenting technical briefings and reports to both operators and senior leaders
• Compliance & Certification Alignment – Familiarity with workforce certification frameworks (e.g., DoD IAM, CSSP) and mapping roles to sensor-monitoring requirements
• Analytical Troubleshooting – Investigating sensor alerts, diagnosing false positives, and refining detection rules
Primary Job Duties (top 5, total 100%)
• OT Defense Cyber Operations Liaison (35%) Serve as the point of contact between sensor teams and DCO operators; prepare and deliver concise reports and briefings on sensor effectiveness and threat posture.
• Sensor Operations Support (25%) Prioritize and oversee the integration and deployment of IDCS and VOLTRN+ sensor platforms into DAF OT environments.
• Dashboard Development & Analytics (20%) Design and maintain real-time dashboards for monitoring sensor outputs, trending key metrics, and alert volumes.
• Workforce Certification Alignment (20%) Assess sensor-monitoring roles against DoD certification requirements, recommend training/certification paths, and track compliance.
