Manage project risk registers, cybersecurity and compliance risks, RMF activities, ATO and cATO support, and risk acceptance decisions. Integrate risk management into Agile, DevSecOps, Sprint, and Program Increment planning. Coordinate with project leaders, cybersecurity teams, system owners, clients, and regulatory stakeholders while assessing NIST controls, DoD STIGs, supply chain risks, and software security practices.

Support the Information Security team by reviewing security alerts, documenting responses, tuning security tools, maintaining event logs, organizing audit evidence, tracking external security reports, and updating compliance software. The intern will complete a summer project such as identifying logging gaps, refreshing incident response documentation, or creating a dashboard. The role provides hands-on exposure to security operations, compliance audits, and tools including Zscaler, CrowdStrike, ThreatLocker, Darktrace, and AlienVault.

Designs and secures edge and hybrid-cloud infrastructure operating in contested, air-gapped, and degraded network environments. Responsibilities include container hardening, threat modeling, vulnerability management, automated provisioning, secrets and PKI lifecycle management, Linux security, and DoD/IC accreditation compliance. The role also contributes to security architecture, embedded Linux hardening, secure software supply chains, and mission-critical infrastructure reliability.

Designs and secures complex networking, computing, and enclave environments for mission-critical government cybersecurity infrastructure. Responsibilities include integrating information assurance architectures, assessing vulnerabilities and risks, developing mitigation strategies, defining security requirements, establishing trusted system relationships, and embedding security throughout the engineering lifecycle. The role collaborates with government customers, engineers, and architects and requires an active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph and CISSP certification.

Provides cybersecurity engineering across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. Owns security architecture, SIEM/SOAR security, endpoint protection, detection engineering, automation, vulnerability management, incident response, and CMMC/NIST compliance support. Enhances Microsoft Defender and Darktrace tooling using PowerShell, KQL, and automation workflows. Maintains security documentation and provides backup infrastructure support for VMware and Veeam. Participates in after-hours response and cross-functional IT projects.

Operate and improve the internal information security program across security operations, incident response, identity and access management, endpoint and network security, vulnerability management, compliance, third-party risk, and security awareness. The role monitors security platforms, investigates incidents, administers access controls, coordinates remediation, supports audits, reviews vendors, documents procedures, automates processes, and participates in an on-call rotation.

Analyzes multi-source intelligence to assess cyber threats, adversary capabilities, and national security developments. Supports collection, operations, investigations, and defense intelligence requirements. Produces written intelligence products and briefings for senior policymakers and defense stakeholders while applying intelligence-cycle methods and ICD 203 tradecraft standards. The role requires knowledge of IT infrastructure, cyber actors, the intelligence community, and combatant command environments.

Build and operate workforce and workload identity systems across corporate, cloud, and factory environments. Own SSO, MFA, provisioning, access lifecycles, privileged access, secrets, service identities, authorization, and cloud IAM. Automate joiner-mover-leaver processes and access reviews while implementing least-privilege controls. Partner with security detection, compliance, and FSO teams to make identity telemetry actionable and audit-ready. This is a hands-on role requiring strong software engineering and identity protocol expertise.

Supports cybersecurity engineering for avionics and government systems by assessing risks, developing requirements and controls, designing security architectures, applying NIST controls and STIGs, and supporting certification efforts. The role requires systems thinking, Linux and scripting experience, Cross Domain Solution knowledge, and eligibility for a security clearance. Desired qualifications include C, C++, Java, and Python experience, RMF familiarity, and willingness to travel up to 10%.
