Responsibilities:
• Support the MV-75 Program Office as a tactical aviation weapon-system cybersecurity engineer focused on platform risk, RMF execution, and embedded system security solutions
• Review, assess, and advise on OEM on cybersecurity artifacts, including System Security Plans, Security Assessment Plans, Security Assessment Reports, POA&Ms, continuous monitoring strategies, hardware/software inventories, architecture diagrams, interface descriptions, and control implementation evidence.
• Translate RMF controls into aviation platform-relevant requirements, verification approaches, and risk statements that apply to embedded avionics, mission systems, tactical databus architectures, software loads, maintenance systems, and support equipment
• Support cybersecurity requirements decomposition, allocation, traceability, and verification across MV-75 system, subsystem, software, hardware, mission equipment, and external interface boundaries.
• Advise the Government on cybersecurity risk posture, residual risk, mitigation sufficiency, operational impacts, and ATO decision readiness for the MV-75 platform.
• Review cybersecurity implementation evidence against applicable DoD, Army, and program requirements, including RMF, NIST SP 800-53/800-53A, DoDI 8510.01, Army cybersecurity policy, and program-specific authorization guidance.
• Coordinate with Government cybersecurity, systems engineering, test, airworthiness, logistics, software, and acquisition stakeholders to ensure cybersecurity considerations are integrated into platform engineering and program decision processes.
• Assess cybersecurity impacts of proposed engineering changes, software updates, configuration changes, interface changes, obsolescence actions, and system-of-systems integrations.
• 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.
• Maintain awareness of platform cybersecurity issues across acquisition, development, test, fielding, sustainment, and modernization activities.
• While performing the duties of this job, the employee is occasionally required to stand; walk; sit; use tools or controls; normal physical activity (reach with hands and arms; climb stairs): and communicate effectively with all levels of employees and leadership. The employee must occasionally lift or move office products and supplies up to 25 pounds.
Qualifications:
Required:
• BS degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 10+ years of relevant cybersecurity, systems security engineering, RMF, and tactical/embedded security. Aviation system acquisition experience desired.
• Experience supporting DoD weapon systems, aviation platforms, tactical systems, embedded systems, mission systems, or platform cybersecurity authorization activities.
• 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.
• 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.
• Ability to develop strong working relationships with MV-75 personnel, Government stakeholders, OEM representatives, and supporting contractors.
• Ability to manage complex technical issues, coordinate across multiple organizations, and provide clear recommendations to Government leadership.
• Candidates must have an active Secret clearance or have the ability to obtain and maintain an active Secret level security clearance.
Preferred:
• 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.
