• The Opportunity:

  Lead cybersecurity architecture development and implementation for complex Department of Defense intelligence, electronic warfare, and cyber systems. As a Cybersecurity Engineer Lead, you will:
• Design and develop enterprise-level cybersecurity architectures for intelligence and mission systems operating across multiple security domains
• Lead Zero Trust architecture implementation and Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) solutions for defense systems
• Architect Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) and secure data transfer capabilities between unclassified, secret, and TS/SCI environments
• Develop cybersecurity strategies, policies, and technical standards to protect mission-critical systems
• Lead Risk Management Framework (RMF) activities and Authorization to Operate (ATO) efforts for complex systems
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to cybersecurity engineering teams
• Interface with government program offices, Information System Security Managers (ISSMs), and

Authorizing Officials Responsibilities:

• Architect and implement Zero Trust security frameworks incorporating micro-segmentation, continuous verification, and least-privilege access controls
• Design secure system architectures that comply with

NIST 800-53, NIST

800-171, DoD RMF, and Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 503 requirements

• Develop security architecture artifacts including system security plans, security architecture diagrams, data flow diagrams, and threat models
• Lead security assessments, vulnerability analyses, penetration testing coordination, and security control validation activities
• Architect and validate Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) for Multi-Level Security (MLS) and secure information sharing across classification boundaries
• Implement Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs), secure configuration baselines, and automated compliance scanning solutions
• Design Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions incorporating Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC)
• Architect secure DevSecOps pipelines integrating continuous security validation, automated vulnerability scanning, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security controls
• Develop encryption strategies, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) implementations, and cryptographic key management solutions
• Lead security architecture reviews, threat modeling sessions, and design review boards
• Develop cybersecurity roadmaps identifying modernization opportunities, emerging threats, and technology insertion strategies
• Provide technical guidance on security architecture decisions to program managers, system engineers, and development teams
• Support incident response planning, security event analysis, and continuous monitoring architectures
• Maintain current knowledge of emerging threats, attack vectors, and defensive technologies applicable to defense intelligence systems

Qualifications:

Required:

• Active Top Secret security clearance with SCI eligibility (required)
• Master's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or Mathematics with concentration in computer science
• 10+ years of professional experience with cybersecurity engineering and architecture
• Demonstrated experience architecting enterprise cybersecurity solutions for DoD or Intelligence Community systems
• Strong understanding of Zero Trust architecture principles and implementation strategies
• Proven experience with Risk Management Framework (RMF) processes including IATT, ATC, and ATO activities
• Experience designing and implementing Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) for multi-level security environments
• Deep knowledge of security frameworks including

NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, CNSSI

1253, and ICD 503

• Experience with Identity and Credential Access Management (ICAM) architectures and implementations
• Strong understanding of defense-in-depth strategies, network security architecture, and secure system design principles
• Experience with security assessment tools such as ACAS (Nessus), eMASS, and security automation platforms
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical teams and influence cybersecurity strategy
• Excellent technical writing and communication skills with ability to brief senior leadership
• IAM, IAT, or IASAE Level I certification per DoD 8570.
