DCS Corp
System Security Engineer (SSE)
will provide technical support to formally register Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition programs with their applicable cybersecurity program(s). SSE will assist in conducting trade-off analyses and will integrate contributions from system security engineering disciplines such as anti-tamper, cybersecurity, exportability features, hardware assurance, software assurance, supply chain risk management, and security specialties (personnel security, industrial security, physical security, etc.). Essential Job Functions: Responsible for ensuring the development and delivery of cybersecurity and program protection capability for DoD acquisition programs through the implementation of an approach based on cost, schedule, performance, and risk. Lead the evaluation and balancing of security contributions to produce a coherent security capability across the technology system and the DoD acquisition program, in order to integrate all aspects of system security. Assist in conducting trade-off analyses and integrate contributions from system security engineering disciplines such as anti-tamper, cybersecurity, exportability features, hardware assurance, software assurance, supply chain risk management; and security specialties (personnel security, industrial security, physical security, etc.). Focus on cyber survivability to assess the system's ability to perform its mission and functions in the face of cyber-attacks by anticipated adversaries, and to operate effectively in a cyber-contested environment. The outcome of the SSEs efforts will be a comprehensive program and system protection strategy within the constraints of cost, schedule, and performance while maintaining an acceptable level of risk. Some specific tasks include:
Provide a program protection assessment of requirements documents to program management. Identify critical program information (CPI) including inherited designated science and technology information. Determine the threat to CPI. Identify personnel required to fulfill all pertinent program protection roles to engineering and program management. Identify vulnerabilities to CPI. Perform risk analysis. Recommend appropriate security controls for an acquisition program. Provide technical support to register an acquisition program with the applicable cybersecurity program(s). Document program protection planning in the systems engineering plan (SEP), PPP, and system security plan (SSP).
Less than 5% travel is anticipated.
Required Skills: U.S. Citizenship is required due to the sensitivity of customer-related requirements. Must be able to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance. Bachelor's Degree in an engineering discipline or cybersecurity, plus at least 12 years of experience, with at least 5 years focused specifically on cybersecurity. Understanding of systems engineering processes. Self-starter with the ability to work without direct supervision. Ability to work within a team. Ability to provide high-quality support and customer service to the government on-site full-time in Warren, Michigan. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Strong interpersonal and negotiation skills. Strong customer service mentality.
Desired Skills: CISSP-ISSEP certification. Bachelor's Degree in computer science, computer engineering, or electrical engineering. 20+ years of cybersecurity experience. Experience mitigating cyber and program risk through supply chain management. Familiarity with AR70-77, related to "Technology and Program Protection." Experience in systems engineering.
