Top Aerospace Cybersecurity Jobs

Lead and build IT and cybersecurity functions, own the system security plan, prepare for CMMC Level 2 certification, integrate business systems, provide hands-on IT support, and scale security and IT teams in a hardware-plus-software startup.

Design, deploy, and maintain networks for factory and field-deployed aerospace systems, including routers, switches, VPNs, firewalls, segmentation, satellite, radio, and IP networks. Own IATT and ATO processes, STIG reviews, ACAS/Nessus scans, remediation, government compliance coordination, security documentation, and approved CI/CD pipelines. Apply AI daily to network analysis, compliance, vulnerability remediation, and configuration management while building the network engineering function from the ground up.

Support DoD research by managing technology, engaging performers, reviewing deliverables, and leading calls regarding technical matters. Requires experience in military cyber operations and agents interaction.

Lead IT security architect responsible for AWS security architecture, compliance (NIST 800-171/CMMC), and GovCloud IL5/IL6 deployments. Maintain SSP, POA&Ms, evidence, and remediation tracking; coordinate with auditors and customer ISSM/ISSO; partner with DevSecOps and Engineering to implement secure baselines, logging, monitoring, encryption, segmentation, vulnerability management, and incident response for regulated environments.

Lead system-level engineering for SATCOM and in‑flight connectivity products, translating customer needs into requirements and use cases, performing system/sub-system design and verification, and maintaining technical documentation. Design and integrate embedded cybersecurity across wired/wireless aircraft systems, perform threat modeling, vulnerability assessments, pen testing, incident response, and security assurance to support certification and regulatory compliance. Mentor juniors, manage technical projects, and scout emerging technologies.

Design, administer, and harden Okta-based identity architecture and SSO integrations; implement RBAC and access governance; manage cross-platform MDM and OS hardening; integrate identity telemetry with SIEM; implement privileged access and secrets controls; support compliance (CMMC, FedRAMP, NIST, ITAR) and audit evidence collection.

Design, implement, and monitor internal security tooling and controls across endpoints and infrastructure. Enforce endpoint configurations via MDM, manage identity and zero-trust SSO solutions, automate security operations with IaC and scripting, perform log analysis and incident response, and collaborate with client platform and IT teams to harden systems and support threat hunting.

Lead product security across application, CI/CD/supply-chain, and Kubernetes-based infrastructure. Own PKI and mTLS, vulnerability management, product incident response, infra hardening, and partner with hardware/firmware teams on secure boot, key storage, and supply-chain integrity. Drive secure SDLC, SAST/DAST/SCA, SLSA-aligned controls, and mentor engineering teams while building security programmatic controls.

Perform network and computer vulnerability evaluations, plan security policies, design and test lab network/software/hardware, deploy network/video cabling, optimize network performance and security, troubleshoot systems, and document test results and recommendations for senior State Department managers.

Hands-on senior IT systems and security administrator responsible for on-site IT support, managing on-prem and government cloud (GCC High, Azure Government, AWS GovCloud) infrastructure, identity and access, endpoint and network security, incident response, vulnerability management, backups/disaster recovery, compliance (CMMC, NIST, FedRAMP, ITAR), and coordinating with vendors and global teams.
