This is an ideal role for a security-focused technologist who wants to build encrypted systems from the ground up for cutting-edge space platforms and critical defense programs.</p> <p>This hands-on role requires deep technical expertise across a variety of NSA High Assurance devices securing data-in-transit across actively architected space and ground systems. You will design, deploy, measure, and document technical security methodologies and controls spanning the full mission lifecycle — including satellite operations, ground segments, Command &amp; Control (C2) systems, and mission planning platforms — while supporting the end-to-end journey to Authority to Operate (ATO). You will ensure our systems meet the most rigorous federal security standards while accelerating delivery of critical warfighting capabilities to Department of War and Intelligence Community customers.</p> <p>Responsibilities</p> <ul> <li>Lead the engineering design, deployment, testing, and certification of cryptographic systems for space-based assets and ground C2 systems, providing technical leadership to cross-functional engineering teams across multiple product lines</li> <li>Stay current on emerging technologies relevant to cryptographic product development and implementation</li> <li>Maintain required documentation for all controlled equipment and keying material (KEYMAT) per USG regulations and best practices</li> <li>Act as lead architect for resilient and survivable cryptographic security architectures and designs</li> <li>Work with cross-functional engineering teams through the testing and validation of communication and command links to ensure maximum usability, stability, and system survivability</li> <li>Conduct and document risk assessments and provide sound mitigation strategies</li> <li>Identify and remediate findings from STIGs, vulnerability scans, penetration testing, and SCA activities to gain and maintain system Authorization to Operate (ATO)</li> <li>Ensure compliance with NIST 800-53, CNSSI 1253, ICD 503, JSIG, and other applicable frameworks for National Security Systems (NSS) handling cla
