Project/Unit DescriptionThe Cybersecurity R&D Systems Architect in the Test Engineering Division (TEN) will work with sponsor engineers to ensure cyber-resiliency and cybersecurity for contracts, test strategies/plans, system-specific requirements, and cybersecurity strategies for Electronic Warfare, Avionics, and Communications systems acquisition programs. Additionally, the candidate will serve as Cybersecurity R&D Systems Architect for Department of Defense (DoD) networks, information systems, and embedded electronics systems. These systems provide DoD components with critical services and military aircraft with offensive and defensive capabilities. The Cybersecurity R&D Systems Architect will be responsible for a portfolio of programs potentially spanning Collateral, Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) and Special Access Program (SAP)/Special Access Required (SAR) levels. The candidate will support information system life cycle activities from scoping systems for new programs and preparing Risk Management Framework (RMF) packages, to regular maintenance, support and upgrades of systems during program execution, to program close-out and de-certification activities.
Job PurposeThe Cybersecurity Research and Development Systems Architect designs and develops new systems, applications, and solutions for external sponsors' enterprise-wide cyber systems and networks. The Cybersecurity R&D Systems Architect is responsible for driving adoption, identifying and defining new security objectives and controls and helping with the organization's automated security validation development. This researcher also performs vulnerability analysis and exploitation of applications, operating systems and/or networks. The Cybersecurity R&D Systems Architect designs and implements Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) security solutions, and applies those ICAM solutions to advanced problem domains such as federation and trusted information sharing within select target communities of sponsors and project stakeholders. The Architect ensures system security needs are established and maintained for operations development, security requirements definition, security risk assessment, systems analysis, systems design, security test and evaluation, certification and accreditation, systems hardening, vulnerability testing and scanning, incident response, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning. The Cybersecurity R&D Systems Architect also provides analytical support for security policy development and analysis, integrates new architectural features into existing infrastructures, designs cyber security architectural artifacts, provides architectural analysis of cyber security features and relates existing systems to future needs and trends. In addition, the Architect embeds advanced forensic tools and techniques for attack reconstruction, provides engineering recommendations, and resolves integration and testing issues. The Cybersecurity R&D Systems Architect serves in a consultative role, defining controls for different platforms, including definition of protection rule sets, and threat mitigations for potential threats. The Cybersecurity R&D Systems Architect also interacts, advises, and counsels on a regular basis with internal staff as well as project sponsors and other stakeholders from the communities in which these solutions are implemented.
