## About the Role

A motivated systems engineer who enjoys solving complex security problems and producing clear technical documentation. You can work independently on technical challenges, communicate effectively with multidisciplinary teams, and apply solid engineering judgment. Hands-on experience-or strong academic exposure-to system architecture, security analysis, and documentation is highly valued., * Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).

 * Active Full Secret clearance (must be maintainable).
 * 1-2 years of relevant experience in systems engineering, security engineering, or technical writing.
 * Demonstrated ability to produce clear, concise technical documentation.
 * Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to research complex systems and translate findings into actionable policies.
 * Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to interact with multidisciplinary teams.
 * Active DoD Secret security clearance with the ability to maintain the clearance.
 * Willingness to work in a classified environment.

Desired Skills

 * Working knowledge of systems-engineering tools (e.g., IBM DOORS, Modeling Tools (ie. Cameo)).
 * Exposure to security-systems engineering tasks such as detection-policy creation, attack-tree analysis, and threat modeling.
 * Familiarity with cryptographic methods, secure firmware, or security-related software.
 * Knowledge of safety-critical development standards (e.g., DO-178C, DO-254).
 * Prior experience in a defense-industry environment.

## Description

* Research system architecture, interview subject-matter experts, and author policy documentation.
 * Conduct threat modeling, create and maintain attack trees, and communicate findings to engineering and program leadership.
 * Apply Security Systems Engineering (SSE) methodologies; review circuit-card assemblies, ICs, cryptographic modules, and security-related software for risk assessment.
 * Produce, edit, and maintain security-focused manuals, user guides, and engineering reports in accordance with Lockheed Martin standards.
 * Collaborate with software engineers, system engineers, firmware teams, and configuration-management to capture and trace security requirements.
 * Stay current with emerging security standards (e.g., NIST 800-53, DO-326A, ISO 27001) and incorporate best practices into engineering processes.
 * Contribute to estimates, schedules, milestones, and work products.
