Working with government security officials, project managers, project engineers, cybersecurity personnel, and installation organizations, this individual will translate findings into actionable requirements and help ensure corrective measures are incorporated into project planning, design, implementation, and acceptance.

This position bridges technical and organizational boundaries, addressing the relationships among C4IT infrastructure, cybersecurity implementation, physical security, and facility-related control systems. The successful candidate will provide clear analysis, practical recommendations, and documented evidence to support government decisions, demonstrate readiness, and reduce the recurrence of previously identified deficiencies.

• Evaluating findings from existing USSPACECOM facilities and determining their applicability to new or transitioning facilities at Redstone Arsenal

• Maintaining traceability from findings to affected systems, project requirements, responsible owners, corrective actions, and verification evidence
• Reviewing cybersecurity implementation documentation, policies, procedures, guidelines, equipment records, and supporting compliance artifacts for completeness and consistency
• Identifying gaps between documented requirements, planned designs, implemented controls, and operational practices
• Coordinating with project engineers to incorporate security requirements into designs, statements of work, installation plans, test procedures, and project milestones
• Assessing the interfaces among IT infrastructure, physical security measures, and facility-related control systems, including environmental monitoring, building controls, power protection, and utility monitoring
• Coordinating with government cybersecurity and facility personnel to identify system boundaries, ownership, connectivity, access controls, monitoring responsibilities, and supporting documentation
• Working with the Directorate of Public Works, installation communications and IT organizations, construction teams, and other supporting activities to resolve requirements and implementation dependencies
• Developing and maintaining corrective action plans and plans of action and milestones, including priorities, owners, schedules, dependencies, and closure criteria
• Evaluating proposed mitigations for effectiveness and identifying residual risks requiring government review or acceptance
• Supporting site reviews, inspections, and verification activities to confirm corrective measures are implemented and supported by adequate evidence
• Participating in change control boards to assess security and compliance impacts of proposed changes and track resulting actions
• Coordinating with command and supporting organizations to resolve conflicting interpretations, clarify responsibilities, and obtain authoritative decisions
• Preparing detailed assessment reports and executive summaries that explain findings, project impacts, recommended actions, and decisions required
• Maintaining organized, appropriately protected repositories of inspection records, requirements, decisions, corrective actions, and verification evidence
• Identifying recurring deficiencies and recommending improvements to checklists, procedures, design reviews, and project acceptance practices
• Supporting government-led inspection preparation, audit responses, and related security assurance activities
