You’ll work with other CSfC engineers and subject matter experts to learn the strategic goals and operational needs that shape their solution requirements. You’ll plan and collaborate with CSfC engineers to architect and engineer, integrate, validate, and transition to operation the full range of solution components. From resolving interoperability issues across platforms, to supporting the acquisition of hardware, you’ll employ your hardware and software talents to maximum effect. This is your chance to develop your skills in securing Data-in-Transit (DIT) and Data-at-Rest (DAR) of CSfC solutions while continuing to advance your own networking and systems engineering expertise. Join us as we help protect critical NSS systems. As a technical leader, you’ll shape the digital solutions business and identify opportunities for growth.
