Cybersecurity Engineer

To be considered for this role, you must be a US Citizen with a US government security clearance. Additionally, you must either live near or be willing to move to the Boulder, CO area.

Centil, a Sabel Systems company, is a mission-focused engineering team supporting some of the highest-priority space defense programs in the U.S. Space Force portfolio, including missile defense and missile warning systems for Space Systems Command. Our work spans Dev Sec Ops , CI/CD product development, and space-domain systems engineering, and our people are embedded directly in the programs they support.

The Cybersecurity Engineer we hire for this role will work to identify and mitigate cybersecurity vulnerabilities for a ground system for a new United States Space Force (USSF) satellite constellation. This person will work with the program's engineering team to architect, develop and sell-off products to a government customer.
