• Engineer, configure, and implement cyber threat systems, defensive cyber controls, and supporting security mechanisms within threat emulation environments.
• Translate threat intelligence, threat profiles, and engineering guidance into operational system configurations that replicate adversary infrastructure, behaviors, and system responses with high fidelity.
• Support deployment, integration, and sustainment of threat systems across distributed cloud, hub, and Tactical Edge Device (TED) environments.
• Ensure threat systems are configured to support operational realism while maintaining repeatability, stability, and control during training, testing, and mission execution.
• Validate that emulated cyber and EW threat systems accurately represent adversary capabilities, techniques, and operational effects.
• Conduct technical testing, tuning, and assessment of threat system configurations to verify functionality, defensive control effectiveness, and mission relevance.
• Identify gaps, inconsistencies, or degraded fidelity within threat representations and recommend corrective actions, configuration updates, or system enhancements.
• Support verification activities to ensure threat systems align with operational objectives and do not introduce unintended impacts to test or training environments.
• Provide hands-on operational support during ongoing threat operations, exercises, and mission execution across classified environments.
• Support cyber implementation activities including system hardening, configuration management, security control validation, lifecycle sustainment, and technical documentation.
• Collaborate with systems engineers, threat intelligence personnel, and Government stakeholders to ensure threat systems remain aligned with evolving mission requirements and intelligence updates.
• Contribute to technical reporting, engineering analysis, and system assessments supporting continued threat environment modernization.

• Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Information Technology, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum of 15 years of experience supporting cyber operations, threat systems engineering, cyber range operations, threat emulation, or closely related DoW mission environments.
• Hands-on experience engineering, configuring, and validating offensive and defensive cyber tools within threat emulation, operational test, or cyber range environments.
• Demonstrated understanding of adversary cyber infrastructure, defensive architectures, techniques, and operational employment.
• Experience translating threat intelligence into executable system configurations and operational threat environments.
• Ability to operate effectively in sustained, high-tempo operational environments across geographically distributed teams.
• Active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility required.

• Experience supporting cyber ranges, threat emulation platforms, or live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) environments.
• Familiarity with modular or behavior-driven threat modeling approaches.
• Experience supporting Army, joint, or other DoW multi-domain operations involving cyber and EW integration.
• Experience operating across multiple classification levels in continuously operating mission environments.
