Cyber Range Engineer

Cyber Range Engineer

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 incorporate the latest cyber methodologies and threat landscape into cyber exercise scenario and curriculum development.

As a Cyber Range Engineer, you’ll translate the client’s emerging cyberspace training requirements into operationally relevant, integrated virtual and physical cyberspace environments that support training, exercises, and mission rehearsals for defensive and offensive cyber missions. You’ll help develop engaging, hands‑on exercise scenarios; design realistic range environments; and integrate tools, scripts, and platforms used by red, blue, and white teams to align with exercise objectives.

You will also directly support exercise execution by troubleshooting technical issues, restoring environments, and adjusting range configurations in real time, and maintain cyber range virtualization infrastructure, networks, integrated hardware platforms, and supporting services.
