Sr. Systems Engineer 4

About the role

Perform cybersecurity assessments of large-scale DoD systems, utilizing an OCO (Offensive Cyber Operations) mindset to perform DCO (Defensive Cyber Operations) activities.

Perform long-term, in-depth vulnerability assessments leveraging systems engineering principles and knowledge, utilizing any available information, including architecture diagrams, build specifications, design documentation, and systems architecture.

Independently verify and validate security requirements and capabilities, incorporating systems resiliency and security engineering concepts into acquisition documents (e.g., Performance Work Statements).

Perform technical evaluations of contractor proposals for systems resiliency, security, and cybersecurity considerations.

As a technical leader, Sr. Systems Engineers will report to you directly; ensure they are fully utilized, their best skillset is being used, and encourage them to exceed technical performance expectations.

Participate in building a strong team with depth in the systems engineering process and how it can be utilized in different areas within the mission space.

Leverage your interpersonal skills to foster relationship development with our customers to gain additional insights, information, and documentation to improve our ability to accomplish our mission.
