Candidate will develop and maintain an integrated system that aligns with the Navy architecture, requirements, objectives and policies; and cyber security solutions in support of system Certification and Accreditation (C&A) of Naval Systems. Qualified candidates should demonstrate a solid 2 - 5 years of experience in a development and test environment, with experience using vulnerability analysis tools.

Job Responsibilities

Systems Engineering Support Services
Assist in the development and/or modification of ship design specifications and in the review of user system specifications. Provide engineering support for network products produced for labs, proof-of-concept demonstrations, and fielded shipboard systems. Work in this area includes initial concept exploration and requirements definition, through engineering development, qualification testing, lab and/or shipboard integration, and troubleshooting.

Life Cycle System Support
Participate in System Program Reviews, Technical Reviews, Technical Exchange Meetings, Engineering Team Meetings and other Technical and Programmatic forums to maintain awareness of program and system issues and initiatives.
Assist in the development of user manuals, technical descriptions, training material, and fact-sheets necessary for the sustained, successful operation and maintenance of mission critical Data Networks.
Assist in the writing of system engineering plan documents, requirements documents, test procedures and plans, test reports and other related technical documentation for lab, test site and shipboard applicability.
Help assess potential cost, schedule, and performance impact associated with installation of proposed program related hardware and software changes.

Cybersecurity Support
Develop and maintain cybersecurity packages that include but not limited to: Information System Continuous Monitoring Strategy, System Security Plan, Plan of Actions and Milestones, Security Assessment Plan, Risk Assessment, Security Authorization Package, CYBERSAFE Certification, and other relevant cybersecurity documentation. Track deliverables and action items associated with cybersecurity plans. The candidate will maintain system and application Authority to Operate (ATO), participate in the Authorization and Accreditation (A&A) process.
Candidates will be involved with software design, development and testing:

• Develop, modify, enhance, and test software for shipboard machinery control systems and for Land Based Test Sites following software assurance best practices throughout the software lifecycle:
• Analyze information to determine, recommend, and plan the development of a new application or modification of an existing application for security compliance.
• Capture security controls used during the requirements phase to integrate security within the process, identify key security objectives, and maximize software security while minimizing disruption to plans and schedules.
• Apply coding and testing standards, security testing tools, and conduct code reviews.
• Apply secure code documentation.
• Conduct trial runs of programs and software applications to ensure the desired information is produced and instructions are correct.
• Confer with systems analysts, engineers, programmers, and others to design applications and obtain information on project limitations and capabilities, performance requirements, and interfaces.

Minimum Requirements
