The Cybersecurity Engineer is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining security measures to protect the organization's IT infrastructure, networks, and data in support of Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) space technology programs. This role involves assessing vulnerabilities, responding to security incidents, and ensuring compliance with Department of Defense (DoD) risk management frameworks and industry standards. The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background in cybersecurity with specific experience supporting space and ground system security requirements, including:

• Authority to Operate (ATO) processes:
  Support obtaining and maintaining compliance with ATOs for ground and space systems in accordance with DoD risk management frameworks
• Cloud-based ground station network security:
  Implement and maintain security controls for cloud computing architectures, disaggregated ground networks, and mission operations infrastructure
• Mission operations center cybersecurity:
  Support cybersecurity for mission operations centers, flight operations, and spacecraft command and control systems across multiple classification levels

This position requires a proactive mindset, the ability to work in Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs) and Special Access Program Facilities (SAPFs), and cross-functional collaboration to enhance the organization's security posture for cradle-to-grave space mission support ranging from Cube Sats to ESPA-class spacecraft.
