Cyber Systems Engineer 3
Location: San Antonio, Tx
Duration: 12 Months
Rate: Up to $130.00/hr BOE
Active Top Secret Clearance Required
As a Cyber Systems Engineer 3 (CSE) supporting the Sentinel program based in San Antonio, TX.
A Cyber Systems Engineer 3 (CSE) will implement weapon system requirements to ensure cyber survivability attributes are implemented in system designs as it assesses/evaluates the customers/stakeholders cybersecurity requirements to decompose, derive, and refine the systems cybersecurity requirements at all levels to drive the built-in cybersecurity protections to the architecture and design. The CSE also guides/supports the security layout / architecture and influences the security tools selection and development. The CSE evaluates/assesses the proposed and realized implementations to identify security risks, attack surface, and verify the cybersecurity protections from the design are realized and integrated. The CSE guides/supports the development of verification efforts to ensure the cybersecurity protections / capabilities are functional, effective, and complete. A CSE supports the definition of security governance, and risk management.
