The JSE Cloud/Cyber architect is a key hands-on contributor working under the guidance of the JSE Project Lead to implement, test, and verify JSE/SCARS-compliant software and interfaces across FlightSafety's Weapon System Trainer (WST) and Training Systems portfolio for their virtualized/containerized deployment in a cloud environment. This role is well suited for a developer with a solid foundation in cloud deployment and cybersecurity procedures who is ready to deepen their expertise in government simulation standards and distributed synthetic environments., The JSE Cloud/Cyber architect integrates software/simulation components that connect FlightSafety training devices to the JSE via the Global Reusable Interface Domain (GRID) network protocol in a virtualized/cloud environment. This includes implementing message production and consumption logic, and verifying correct integration against a common data model. The engineer executes the a test harness suite of service active tests and supports Wireshark packet capture (.pcap) file parsing to validate data flow between the simulator and middleware services. The developer supports SCARS compliance activities, including applying On Premise Equipment (OPE) integration standards under the SCARS Architecture Standard, Increment 5, and contributing to verification activities. The developer participates in Requirements Verification Report (RVR) activities and maintains traceability between implementation work and Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and Interface Design Documents (IDDs). The JSE Cloud/Cyber architect contributes to the implementation and operation of the internal JSE/SCARS integration lab - both virtual and classified, as required - and builds DevSecOps pipelines for JSE/SCARS-related software deliverables, including version control, automated testing, and documentation in compliance with the SCARS DevSecOps Process Standard. The developer also supports the application of cybersecurity controls in accordance with the SCARS Common Security Controls Standard and coordinates with the cybersecurity team on Risk Management Framework (RMF) compliance activities. The JSE Cloud/Cyber architect works closely with the JSE Architect and Project Lead to interpret SCARS and JSE documentation, implement design patterns, establish infrastructure protocols and document integration results. Travel to government test events is anticipated throughout the year., The JSE/SCARS life of efforts represents one of FlightSafety Defense Corporation's most strategically important investments in defense training systems. As a JSE Cloud/Cyber, you will work at the technical frontier of government synthetic environment standards, gaining hands-on experience with the architectures, protocols, cybersecurity and standards that define the next generation of joint warfighter training. You will be mentored by senior architects and positioned for growth as FSI Defense scales its portfolio across the USAF and Navy. #LI-Remote FlightSafety is an Equal Opportunity Employer/Vet/Disabled.
