Build mission-ready tech that protects the nation.

As a cyber warfare engineer, you know how critical it is to stay ahead of evolving threats by identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities before adversaries can. At Booz Allen, you'll bring that expertise to a mission-focused team where you'll design, develop, and prototype Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning capabilities specifically for Operational Technology (OT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), and cyber-physical environments. Work at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and operational systems to develop new capabilities that improve OT asset visibility, threat detection, vulnerability analysis, anomaly detection, incident response, and operator decision-making.

Analyze OT data sources, including network telemetry, asset inventories, logs, sensor data, process data, threat intelligence, and security alerts to identify opportunities for AI-enabled automation and analytics. Develop and evaluate machine learning models, AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation capabilities, and other AI-enabled tools designed around the unique safety, availability, latency, and mission requirements of OT environments.

Partner with OT engineers, cybersecurity specialists, data scientists, and mission stakeholders to move concepts from research and prototypes into deployable capabilities. Evaluate emerging AI technologies and determine how they can be securely applied within on-premises, air-gapped, disconnected, intermittent, and bandwidth-limited environments.

This is your opportunity to help advance national security through cutting-edge cyber capabilities.
