Lead Cyber Engineer

Integer Technologies seeks a Lead Cyber Engineer to provide senior-level technical leadership across research efforts supporting Navy-relevant cyber-physical systems, with a primary focus on the cyber resilience of naval power and energy systems. This role is located in Tallahassee, FL, and is centered on joint work with Florida State University’s Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS) as part of a Navy-funded cyber-physical security program.

The Lead Cyber Engineer will help shape technical approaches for Zero Trust Architecture development, cyber-physical resilience research, and threat-informed defensive methods for naval power systems. The role will guide junior and mid-career engineers and serve as a key technical interface with both Navy sponsors and CAPS university partners, who play a central role in modeling, simulation, experimentation, and AI/ML research for power system security.

The Lead Engineer will also contribute to business development and capture by helping identify new research directions, drafting technical proposal content, and supporting sponsor engagement. This position demands strong initiative, deep expertise in cyber-physical research (particularly power systems and embedded controls), and the ability to execute complex R&D with minimal oversight.

• Provide technical leadership across cyber-physical R&D for Navy-relevant power systems, helping structure tasking, refine approaches, and guide engineers performing cyber-physical system modeling, cyber risk analysis, dynamic cyber defense research, and feasibility studies.
• Lead research into dynamic cyber defense methods and cyber-resiliency frameworks for embedded control systems, including vulnerability taxonomies, defensive strategies, mission-impact metrics, lifecycle-aware resilience approaches, and Zero Trust Architecture development for naval power systems.
• Drive AI/ML
  - based anomaly detection research for embedded systems and support integration of advanced analytics into modeling, simulation, and test environments for power system security workflows.
• Develop and oversee bench
  - scale experiments and digital modeling environments , and controlled field demonstrations to validate cyber-physical resilience approaches, ensuring experimental rigor and clear validation of concepts for naval power systems.
• Serve as a primary technical interface with Florida State University’s Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS) and other university partners, coordinating joint research activities, experiment planning, shared modeling/simulation, and AI/ML development tasks focused on power system cyber resilience.
• Collaborate with Navy sponsors, program managers, and research teams to refine technical plans, present findings, support assessment cycles, and manage task interdependencies aligned to SOW milestones.
• Contribute to business development and capture , including shaping new research directions in cyber-physical resilience for power and energy systems, authoring technical proposal content, and maintaining relationships with government and academic stakeholders.
• Produce high-quality documentation , including research papers, experiment reports, sponsor deliverables, and clear presentations of complex technical findings for non-experts and government sponsors, while ensuring CUI data security.

• Must be a U.S. Citizen able to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance.
• Bachelor’s degree and 8 years of experience, or Master’s degree and 6 years of experience in cybersecurity, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or related discipline.
• Demonstrated technical leadership experience in cyber-physical systems research, including modeling, simulation, cyber risk assessment, vulnerability…
