Overview
Mid-Level Satellite Communications Security Engineer Join to apply for the
Mid-Level Satellite Communications Security Engineer
role at
American Nano Society . Leidos is a global science and technology solutions leader working to solve the world’s toughest challenges in the defense, intelligence, homeland security, civil, and health markets. Leidos is seeking a Satellite Communications Security Engineer to lead the engineering, design and implementation of the next generation of cryptographic product security, transport, and accountability for key and data for high and medium assurance applications. Responsibilities
The selected candidate will provide engineering support to understand, document and design satellite communication security patterns and capabilities. These satellite network systems have exacting interface, performance and security requirements that must be analyzed and decomposed. This position will require someone who is meticulous and creative in problem solving, designing security-focused solutions that address potential system vulnerabilities and associated mitigations. Participate in the definition of system security requirements for a wide range of satellite architectures including but not limited to low-earth orbit (LEO) constellations that integrate small/cube/nano spacecraft. This requires an understanding of the unique constraints and interfaces to satellite spacecraft, approaches to integrating payload protection techniques, and approaches to protecting Telemetry, Tracking and Control (TT&C) using cryptography and key management solutions. Lead or participate in the secure design of new products and features, vulnerability analysis of applications and devices, and work with developers to communicate cryptographic security architectures. Focus on high impact, creative solutions to complex technical problems, and work as part of a large team. Develop and execute a set of integrated plans and technical artifacts that enable the program to meet technical performance parameters and achieve mission success. Become part of a team of Security Engineers working on challenging issues on a nationally significant defense program. Collaborate with other engineers and technical experts to provide improvements to operational, test, integration, and development systems. Position responsibilities will include participating in system engineering, hardware, and software analysis to support the Navy’s Key Management project portfolio, including satellite communication security; defining and applying systems engineering processes; managing requirements (decomposition, allocation, verification, validation); defining and developing System Architecture, CONOPS, and use cases; participating and leading customer meetings and technical interchange meetings; researching, writing, and reviewing technical documentation; providing project briefing materials as requested. Optional to work a 9/80 schedule and relocation assistance to move to San Diego, CA. Required Qualifications
Position requires US citizenship and an active Secret DoD security clearance. Demonstrated experience in requirements decomposition and in analyzing risks and uncertainties to navigate projects through established processes. Understanding of complex system development methods; knowledge of software development methodologies (e.g., TDD, peer programming, debugging) and programming languages (C/C++, C#, Java); knowledge of software design patterns; knowledge of Agile Development/Scrum methodologies (and related automation, configuration, tracking, and optimization). Excellent verbal and written communication skills. BS degree and 8 – 12 years of prior relevant experience or Masters with 6 – 10 years of prior relevant experience. DoD 8570 approved security certification (i.e., Security +) (will be required 90 days after hire). Desired Qualifications
An understanding of the threats to satellite systems and the role of cryptography in mitigating those threats; understanding of satellite architectures and security approaches; constraints to encryption and key management in the space domain (performance, latency). Understanding of satellite payload waveforms and mission cryptography; cryptographic key management approaches for securing communication confidentiality and integrity on satellite and ground stations; cryptographic security for satellite TT&C. Understanding of transec keystream generation approaches for secure satellite communication; knowledge of new approaches to satellite communication (e.g., mesh networks, optical intersatellite link encryption, cloud processing of downlinks). Knowledge of cryptographic products used in various satellite constellations and how HAIPE is used within satellite constellations. Working knowledge of computing technologies including Python, shell scripting, SQL; collaboration tools; software security assessment tools; configuration management and version control; cryptographic key management based on EKMS and KMI; COMSEC operations and accountability; networking and interface technologies; RESTful and SOAP web services; OpenAPI; ASN.1; PKI; cryptographic mechanisms (SHA, HMAC, Elliptic Curve, quantum resistance); CMS. Location-specific notes: Relocation assistance available to move to San Diego, CA. Optional 9/80 work schedule.
