• Review vulnerability assessment results, scan outputs, penetration test findings, software assurance results, supply chain risk inputs, and cyber test evidence to determine platform-level risk and required Government action.
• Support cybersecurity input to test planning, verification events, lab events, flight test readiness, operational test planning, and Government reviews.
• Evaluate cybersecurity risks associated with embedded real-time operating systems, avionics networks, mission systems, tactical data links, aircraft maintenance interfaces, ground support equipment, and external system interfaces.
• Support development of risk-based recommendations for control tailoring, inherited/common controls, compensating controls, mission-based risk acceptance, continuous monitoring, and POA&M closure.
• Assist the Government in preparing decision-quality cybersecurity briefings, risk summaries, authorization status updates, and technical recommendations for program leadership and authorizing officials.

• Knowledge of RMF processes, ATO packages, security control implementation evidence, POA&Ms, continuous monitoring, and cybersecurity risk acceptance
• Ability to interpret cybersecurity controls and translate them into platform-relevant requirements, verification criteria, technical risks, and operational impacts.
• Familiarity with aviation or tactical system architectures, including avionics, mission systems, databus interfaces, support equipment, software loads, embedded controllers, tactical networks, or platform integration environments.
• Familiarity with embedded real-time operating systems is preferred.
• Familiarity with aviation and tactical interface standards such as MIL-STD-1553, ARINC-429, ARINC-664, ARINC-653, Ethernet, CAN bus, tactical radios, and tactical data links
• Experience reviewing or developing cybersecurity documentation such as SSPs, SAPs, SARs, SCTMs, POA&Ms, CONMON strategies, architecture diagrams, accreditation boundaries, PPSM/ports-protocols-services data, and system security requirements.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain technical cybersecurity risk to engineering acquisition, test, and leadership audiences.
