• Support risk treatment activities by documenting technical constraints, compensating controls, residual risk, and remediation status.
• Assist control assessors and assessment leads by providing technical evidence, configuration details, screenshots, logs, and implementation explanations.
• Provide technical engineering support during security incidents, investigations, containment activities, eradication efforts, and recovery actions.
• Assist with log collection, tool validation, endpoint or network containment actions, access changes, system isolation, and forensic preservation activities as directed.
• Develop and maintain scripts, queries, automation, and repeatable procedures to improve security operations and engineering response efficiency.
• Participate in after-action reviews and support implementation of technical improvements based on incident lessons learned.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, configuration standards, diagrams, implementation guides, runbooks, and operational procedures.
• Support change management, configuration management, asset documentation, and security engineering governance processes.
• Recommend improvements to security tools, engineering processes, baselines, automation, monitoring coverage, and technical control implementation.

Qualifications:
Required:
• U.S. Citizenship with ability to obtain and maintain a DOE “L” clearance after start.
• 3-5 years of experience in cybersecurity engineering, security operations, systems administration, network administration, cloud security, or related technical security roles.
• Hands-on experience implementing, configuring, or supporting security tools, technical controls, secure configurations, and enterprise security technologies.
• Working knowledge of Windows, Linux, networking, identity and access management, endpoint security, logging, vulnerability management, and common security architectures.
• Experience applying security requirements, hardening standards, vulnerability remediation guidance, and configuration baselines across technical environments.
• Ability to troubleshoot technical security issues involving systems, networks, applications, integrations, agents, logs, policies, and monitoring tools.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks, standards, and best practices such as NIST, CIS Controls, DISA STIGs, ISO 27001, or organizational security baselines.
• Strong documentation, communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
Preferred:
• Experience supporting SOC, incident response, vulnerability management, compliance, or security engineering programs in enterprise or mission-critical environments.
• Experience with SIEM, EDR, firewalls, IDS/IPS, vulnerability scanners, cloud security tools, identity platforms, scripting, APIs, or automation tools.
• Experience in regulated or compliance-driven environments such as government, defense, finance, healthcare, critical infrastructure, or large enterprise programs.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud and related security services, logging, monitoring, and identity controls.
• Experience supporting technical evidence collection for assessments, audits, authorization activities, or remediation tracking.
• Certifications such as Security+, CySA+, GSEC, GCIA, GCIH, SSCP, CISSP, CCNA, AWS, Azure, or equivalent technical or security credentials.
