Job Description

At Lockheed Martin, we are pushing the boundaries of innovation to solve some of the world’s most complex challenges. In our Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS) division, we are focused on advancing security and resilience for critical defense systems, with a particular emphasis on F-35 Training & Logistics. Our team is dedicated to applying cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions that safeguard the integrity of systems throughout their lifecycle. We are passionate about ensuring that these systems remain resilient to evolving cyber threats, supporting both the F-35 and other essential training and logistics operations.

THE WORK

As a Cyber Software Engineer, you will secure, automated delivery of mission‑critical software for PTD and TIPS systems. You will embed Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD pipelines, and rigorous threat‑modeling practices into every stage of the development lifecycle, ensuring continuous monitoring, rapid remediation, and full compliance with DoD RMF, NIST guidelines, and STIG/SRG hardening standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage system integrity, availability, and cyber compliance for hardware, firmware, and software.
• Maintain and update RMF documentation (e.g. System Security Plan, Plan of Action & Milestones, Security Assessment Report).
• Execute RMF steps — implement, assess, authorize, and monitor security controls.
• Automate compliance checks and remediation using scripting (Python, PowerShell, Bash) and tools such as OpenSCAP, Tenable, and Qualys.
• Integrate security gates into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins and GitLab CI) and perform vulnerability testing (SAST and DAST).
• Review Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) and Software Assurance and Engineering Reports (SAER).
• Utilize Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform, Ansible) to build secure, hardened environments across container platforms (e.g.Docker, Kubernetes).
• Collaborate across systems engineering, test, configuration management, and program management teams to align on security goals.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies and provide technical briefings to leadership and stakeholders.

Desired Skills

• Experience with vulnerability scanning and frameworks (e.g. OpenSCAP, Nessus, STIGs, CIS Benchmarks).
• Experience implementing, assessing, and maintaining RMF processes in accordance with DoD, NIST, or other federal guidelines.
• Knowledge of hypervisors such as VMware vSphere/ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and open-source.
• Hands on proficiency with modern AI/ML platforms (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Azure AI, AWS SageMaker, OpenAI APIs).
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI solutions into business workflows and conduct model evaluation.
• Knowledge of Agile/DevSecOps tools and workflows (e.g. JIRA, Confluence, Git).
• Hands on experience integrating secure coding practices (e.g. static (SAST) and dynamic (DAST) analysis) into codebases (e.g. C++, Java, Python, etc.).
• Experience designing, building, and deploying AI driven threat detection models—prototyping and operationalizing solutions with frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit learn.
