Everyone knows security needs to be “baked in” to a system architecture—you actually know how to bake it in. You can identify and implement ways to harden systems and reduce their attack surface. What if you could use your cyber engineering skills to design and develop secure systems for the Department of War ? We’re looking for a security engineer who can create solutions for the U.S. Navy that will withstand even the most advanced cyber threats.

As a solutions architect at Booz Allen, you’ll design secure systems to support critical operations. You’ll coordinate work with our team to identify the right mix of tools and techniques to translate your client’s IT needs and future goals into a plan that will enable secure and effective solutions. We need to come up with the best solutions, so you’ll investigate new techniques, break free from the legacy model, and go where the industry is going.

You’ll lead the team through a critical approach to network design, providing alternatives and customizing solutions to maintain a balance of security and mission needs.

Work with us as we protect and advance secure communications for our client's missions.
