About the Role

The Cyber Engineer designs and implements the cryptographic and platform security that makes Air Defense products trustworthy in contested and classified environments. This hands-on engineering role focuses on implementing cryptography and key handling on constrained hardware, hardening Linux and firmware, building audit and validation tooling, and automating accreditation evidence.

Responsibilities

Implement and improve FIPS 140-3 validated encryption across products.
Own the platform trust chain: secure and measured boot, TPM-backed attestation, firmware signing, and rollback protection on embedded and edge hardware.
Design and implement full-disk and data-at-rest encryption, key management and rotation, and key hierarchies.
Build anti-tamper and zeroization: tamper detection and response, emergency erase, key destruction paths, and associated tests.
Engineer secure communications - protocol design and review, mTLS and workload identity, tunnels and gateways for cross-domain and air-gapped transport, and CNSA-compliant cipher suites.
Build audit and validation tooling: instrumentation that proves cryptographic and boot-time behavior, plus harnesses, fuzzers, and adversarial tests.
Harden Linux, container, and firmware baselines - kernel configuration, SELinux/AppArmor, attack-surface reduction - and codify them.
Automate the compliance surface to express NIST 800-53, STIG, and CNSSI requirements as machine-readable policy evaluated in CI, generating accreditation evidence as build output.

Requirements

Production code writing ability.
Real fluency in C/C++, Rust, Golang, or Python — C or Rust strongly preferred.
Ability to read and modify multiple programming languages.
5-8 years of engineering experience with deep technical ownership of security-critical systems.
Applied cryptography in practice rather than theory.
Low-level systems depth: Linux kernel and userspace boundary, memory, filesystems, device drivers or firmware.
Ability to debug systems using tools like gdb, ftrace, and a logic analyzer.
Experience assessing and hardening firmware, embedded, or cyber-physical systems.
Demonstrated understanding of how skilled adversaries attack systems.
Secure communications and network protocol work: TLS/PKI internals, tunneling, and handling disconnected or degraded networks.
Experience building and sustaining CI/CD systems.
Working command of RMF and NIST 800-53.
Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance; TS/SCI with polygraph preferred.
