As a prime mover in ground force capabilities, this firm provides innovative solutions that ensure the safety and effectiveness of military personnel worldwide, focusing on durability, mobility, and performance. Responsibilities: Provide technical authority for Cyber Systems Engineering, ensuring an integrated, compliant, and balanced cyber design across vehicle platforms within cost, schedule, and performance constraints. Lead development and enforcement of system-level cyber requirements, including Performance and SWaP-CRaM (Space, Weight, Power, Cooling, Reliability, and Maintainability). Manage requirements allocation, interface definitions, architectures, and configuration changes across multidisciplinary engineering teams. Conduct and oversee system trade studies and structured design decisions, analyzing impacts to space, weight, power, cost, reliability, performance, and cybersecurity posture. Develop and manage system specifications, compliance documentation, and CDRLs to ensure contractual and regulatory adherence. Oversee verification planning and execution, including development, production, and field validation activities. Lead design integration troubleshooting and Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA) activities across development, production, and modification programs. Support and coordinate with Design Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) for threat analysis, interface development, requirements decomposition, and compliance validation. Drive enterprise-wide adoption of cyber-physical engineering best practices, tools, and education to strengthen cybersecurity culture. Evaluate and assess emerging Cyber and C5ISR technologies for integration into next-generation vehicle platforms. Ensure compliance with NIST SP 800-37, NIST SP 800-53, and related federal cybersecurity frameworks.
