• Troubleshoot and resolve advanced issues in CSfC environments, such as encryption protocols, VPN configurations, and multi-layer security implementations.
• Stay abreast of emerging technologies, threats, and updates to CSfC standards, recommending improvements and leading innovation efforts within the team.
• Provide feedback to design engineers and evaluate end-to-end systems and systems-oriented products through their entire life cycle.
