About the position

As a Cyber Systems Security Engineer within the Program Protection Organization at Lockheed Martin, you will play a critical role in overseeing all aspects of Anti-Tamper and embedded Cybersecurity for Missiles and Fire Control. This position is not just about traditional cyber engineering; it involves designing, implementing, deploying, and maintaining advanced System Security architectures and countermeasures that protect and enable innovative Lockheed Martin products. You will be responsible for ensuring that our systems are secure throughout their development life cycle, particularly in the context of Department of Defense (DoD) Weapon Systems. Your work will involve providing embedded System Security Engineering design and implementation, assessing and mitigating security threats and risks, validating security requirements, and implementing both hardware and software security solutions. You will analyze vulnerabilities and threats against the System Security posture of product designs and prototype countermeasures to defend against cyber-attacks. Collaboration is key in this role, as you will work closely with Hardware, Firmware, Software, and Systems Engineers to integrate System Security Engineering into a variety of high-integrity, security, and safety-critical Embedded Systems. This position requires a strong background in embedded products, such as missiles, fire control systems, and radar, making it a unique opportunity for those with relevant experience.

Responsibilities

• Designing, implementing, deploying, and maintaining System Security architectures and countermeasures.
• Providing embedded System Security Engineering design and implementation in all aspects of the System Security Engineering process for DoD Weapon Systems.
• Assessing and mitigating System Security threats and risks throughout the embedded Weapon System development life cycle.
• Validating System Security Engineering requirements decomposition, allocation, and analysis.
• Implementing System Security Engineering solutions in both hardware and software.
• Verifying the implementation of system security requirements.
• Analyzing weaknesses, vulnerabilities, and threats against the System Security posture on product designs.
• Prototyping and testing System Security countermeasures against cyber-attacks on Lockheed Martin products.
• Collaborating with Hardware, Firmware, Software, and Systems Engineers to integrate System Security Engineering into Embedded Systems.

Requirements

• Must be able to obtain an Interim DoD Secret Security Clearance prior to beginning employment.
• Experience working within the DoD systems development life-cycle (SDLC).
• Implementing System Security requirements on DoD systems to meet U.S. government compliance requirements.
• Experience supporting validation and verification of security requirements on DoD systems.
• Experience with embedded systems design.
• Possess an approved DoD 8570 baseline certification for IAT/IAM Level II (CISSP, CAP, etc.) or ability to obtain certification within 6 months of start date.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience developing embedded DoD National Security Systems (NSS) requiring Systems Security Engineering implementations.
• Design experience through the DoD systems development life-cycle (SDLC) developing embedded system security solutions for DoD weapon or tactical systems.
• Tactical and strategic thinking with creative problem-solving skills.
• Excellent writing skills and effective communication abilities.
• Experience with embedded system vulnerability scanning and Software Assurance (SwA) activities.
• Strong understanding of System Security Engineering (SSE) principles and processes (NIST SP 800-161).
• Experience in the identification, decomposition, allocation, and verification of NIST SP 800-53 Security Controls on DoD systems.
• Experience in supporting Security Verification testing on developed DoD Weapon Systems.
• Familiarity with missile and/or aircraft fire control system interfaces, design, and operation.
• Systems Engineering experience with Open System Architecture design and partitioning.
• Understanding of Critical Program Information (CPI) assessment and protection strategies.
• Understanding of NSA-approved cryptographic standards and methods, and/or practical application of cryptographic algorithms.
• Experience with Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools (Cameo desirable), DODAF views, development of MBSE diagrams.
