Warren - DEVCOM - GVSC - Warren, MI 48397

FEDITC, LLC is a fast-growing business supporting DoD and other intelligence agencies worldwide. FEDITC develops mission critical national security systems throughout the world directly supporting the Warfighter, DoD Leadership, & the country. We are proud & honored to provide these services.

FEDITC is seeking Engineering Subject Matter Specialist (SSE Cyber) to work in Warren MI area. Systems security engineering is a specialty engineering discipline of systems engineering that applies scientific, mathematical, engineering, and measurement principles, concepts, and methods to coordinate, orchestrate, and direct the activities of various security engineering specialties and other contributing engineering specialties to provide a fully integrated, system-level perspective of system security.

Systems security engineering, as an integral part of systems engineering, helps to ensure that the appropriate security principles, concepts, methods, and practices are applied during the system life cycle to achieve stakeholder objectives for the protection of assets—across all forms of adversity characterized as disruptions, hazards, and threats. It also helps to reduce system defects that can lead to security vulnerability and as a result, reduces the susceptibility of the system to adversity.

And finally, systems security engineering provides a sufficient base of evidence that supports claims that the desired level of trustworthiness has been achieved—that is, a level of trustworthiness that the agreed-upon asset protection needs of stakeholders can be adequately satisfied on a continuous basis despite such adversity.

A United States Citizenship and an active Secret DoD Security Clearance is required to be considered for this position.

• Defining stakeholder security objectives, protection needs, concerns, and system security requirements, along with associated validation and verification methods.
• Developing security perspectives within system architecture and design, including security views and viewpoints.
• Identifying and assessing vulnerabilities, threats, hazards, and susceptibility to disruptions throughout the system lifecycle.
• Conducting security assessments and risk analysis to identify potential security threats.
• Designing, developing, and implementing proactive and reactive security solutions to mitigate risks and protect systems and data.
• Monitoring security systems for anomalies and responding to security incidents in a timely manner.
• Providing security considerations to inform systems engineering, aiming to reduce errors, flaws, and weaknesses that could lead to unacceptable asset loss or security vulnerabilities.
• Evaluating the costs and benefits of security functions and considerations to support analysis of alternatives, engineering trade-offs, and risk treatment decisions.
• Performing security system analyses to support decision-making, risk management, and engineering trade-offs.
• Demonstrating, through evidence-based reasoning, that system security claims are satisfied and providing substantiating evidence for system trustworthiness.
• Leveraging expertise from multiple security and related specialties to deliver a trustworthy and secure system.
• Ensuring the effectiveness and suitability of security elements as enablers for mission and business success.
• Incorporating relevant threat and vulnerability data into security-relevant decisions.
• Conducting security risk management activities, producing related information, and advising engineering teams and stakeholders on the impact of threats and vulnerabilities.
• Collaborating with technical teams to integrate security measures into system design and development processes.
• Identifying critical system components and providing well-organized analysis of systems and potential risks.
• Supporting Program Protection Planning (PPP), aligned with the SSE Framework and DoD Technology and Program Protection Guidebook.
• Applying multidisciplinary engineering expertise to address programmatic system security requirements, including protection needs assessment, secure architecture, security technologies, hardware/software assurance, cybersecurity testing/evaluation, and program protection plan development.
• Advising on system description, functions, information types, operating environments, and security and privacy requirements.
• Reviewing the adequacy of controls to protect the system and its information, manage privacy risks, and ensure compliance with privacy requirements.
• Assisting in tailoring security and privacy controls as necessary.
• Ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability by designing and implementing secure systems.
• Ensuring system compliance with privacy requirements and managing privacy risks associated with processing personally identifiable information (PII).
• Implementing secure and privacy-enhancing networking and computing environments.
• Providing security and…
