• Prepare and maintain security documentation, including System Security Plans (SSP), Test Plans (STP), and Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&M).
• Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure security considerations are integrated from design through deployment, providing expert guidance to engineers and program stakeholders.
• Conduct Test and Evaluation (T&E); validate physical controls; review hardware/software inventories; analyze system topology and data flows; and perform on-site assessments.
• Lead efforts to modernize ATO processes, aligning them with current industry standards and enabling a continuous ATO approach.
• Stay up-to-date on cybersecurity threats, technologies, policies, and cloud trends; recommend improvements to strengthen the security posture of DoD cloud systems.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Active DoD TS/SCI clearance with polygraph
• Minimum 7 years of experience with RMF, JSIG, or ICD 503 processes
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, IT, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or a related field

• Knowledge of Infrastructure-as-Code and scripting tools such as Ansible, Terraform, PowerShell, or Bash
• At least 3 years administering DoD cloud environments
Desired:
• Prior DoD cybersecurity engineering experience
• Familiarity with enclave architectures and mission system designs
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with program managers, developers, and system administrators
