Job description

At Relative Dynamics we value knowledge as a process rather than knowledge as an answer. Founded in 2011 our goal is to define the new space era by continuously pushing the boundaries of engineering models services and technology development. Visit us at www.relativedynamicsinc.com.
Relative Dynamics is a subcontractor supporting Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) Ground Sustainment Services (LGSS) program at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In this role, you will be employed by Relative Dynamics and assigned to work on projects in support of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) Ground Sustainment Services (LGSS). We are seeking a high-caliber Network Engineer, Mid with a specialized Cyber Security focus. This position is 100% remote.
This role sits at the intersection of robust infrastructure management and aggressive security posture hardening in support of the LGSS program, which is responsible for the sustainment, maintenance, and improvements to the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) Common Ground System (CGS). The JPSS CGS implements command, control, and communications and data processing requirements for CGS-serviced missions. The ideal candidate is a technical diplomat capable of translating complex vulnerabilities into actionable remediation plans and presenting those solutions to high-level stakeholders. The JPSS is NOAA's next-generation operational Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) observation program that acquires and distributes global environmental data from multiple polar-orbiting satellites, including from NOAA's domestic and international partners, playing a critical role in NOAA's mission to understand and predict changes in weather, climate, oceans, coasts, and space environments.
What You'll Get to Do:
  • Network Infrastructure & Operations
  • Cyber Security Hardening & Compliance
  • Network Automation & Cloud

Required Skills & Background
  • Bachelor of Science (B.S.) or equivalent in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, Network Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline, with 5 + yrs of experience, or a Master's and 3 + yrs of experience.
  • Deep expertise in Cisco & Aruba; LAN/WAN troubleshooting in high-stakes environments.
  • Mastery of Nessus, Tenable, and the STIG hardening process.
  • Experience with Gov-sector workflows: PO&AM, SCA audits, and PVG.
  • Proficiency in Ansible, Terraform (AWS), and SolarWinds for monitoring/orchestration.

This role requires more than technical prowess; it requires influence. We are looking for a Cross-Team SME who excels in:
  • Dynamic Presentation: must be comfortable with Public Board Presentations (Med/High frequency), possessing the "adapt and overcome" mindset to handle live, high-pressure inquiries.
  • Technical Translation: The ability to take a granular technical query and translate it into a strategic business or security solution for non-technical leadership.
  • Low-Conflict Navigation: High ability to "politick" across teams with a low-friction, results-oriented approach.
  • Research & Solutioning: A self-starter attitude toward researching emerging threats and proposing architectural pivots on the fly.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Active security clearance (or eligibility to obtain public trust).
  • Relevant certifications: CCNP/CCIE, Aruba Certified Design Professional (ACDP), CISSP, or CEH.
  • Proven history of briefing senior government or corporate leadership on security posture.

Who You Are:
  • A self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment
  • A quick learner who is always ready to gain depth of knowledge
  • A reliable worker who knows the importance of showing up when it counts
  • Accept assignments with open cooperative positive and team-oriented attitudes
  • Able to plan and execute plans across teams
  • Effective communicator both written and verbal

What You'll Enjoy:
  • Competitive wage and benefits package
  • Medical, dental, vision and life/disability insurance
  • Vacation and paid holidays
  • Tuition reimbursement
  • 401k with company match
  • Employee referral program
  • Community involvement investing and giving back to the community

Relative Dynamics conducts a comprehensive background check that includes drug testing. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status or disability status.
