TL;DR · Wireless and Edge Infrastructure Cybersecurity Engineer

The Wireless and Edge Infrastructure Cybersecurity Engineer joins a small, fast-moving team to secure a lab-built platform involving wireless networking and edge AI infrastructure. You will own end-to-end security hardening for GPU-accelerated servers, network switches, radio units, and Kubernetes or virtualization layers. Daily responsibilities include applying STIGs and CIS benchmarks to Ubuntu hosts, designing network segmentation via VLANs and ACLs, and managing vulnerabilities using Nessus or ACAS. You will perform protocol analysis using Wireshark, maintain RMF artifacts for ATO, and manage PKI and secrets. The role requires expertise in Linux, Docker, Proxmox, and Layer 2/3 security. You will solve the technical challenge of establishing a secure baseline for next-generation systems deployed across government sites, ensuring reproducible builds through detailed MOP and SOP documentation.

What you'll do

  • Harden GPU-accelerated servers, network switches, radio units, and Kubernetes/virtualization layers.
  • Apply and verify defense STIGs and CIS benchmarks on Ubuntu hosts and network devices.
  • Design and implement network segmentation, access controls, and TLS for management interfaces.
  • Build and operate vulnerability management programs including Nessus/ACAS scanning and patch remediation.
  • Perform security assessments and protocol analysis of wireless and core network components using Wireshark.
  • Prepare RMF artifacts and documentation to support the Authority to Operate (ATO) process.
  • Manage identity, credentials, and secrets including PKI, certificates, and privileged access.
  • Define shipping and field security postures for systems deployed at government sites.

What we're looking for

  • Must possess a Secret security clearance.
  • Must have a Bachelor's degree in CS, Cybersecurity, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering and 5+ years of cybersecurity engineering experience.
  • Must have 9+ years of cybersecurity engineering experience in lieu of a degree.
  • Must be able to obtain a Security+ CE or DoD Baseline Certification within 6 months of start date.
  • Experience hardening Linux systems to STIG or CIS benchmarks, including evidence collection and remediation.
  • Experience securing virtualized and containerized environments, including Kubernetes, Docker, and hypervisors such as Proxmox, VMware, or KVM.
  • Experience with network security on Layer 2 or Layer 3 infrastructure, including VLAN segmentation, ACLs, 802.1X, firewalls, and TLS or PKI.
  • Experience with DoD Risk Management Framework (RMF), NIST SP 800-53 controls, and preparing artifacts for an ATO.
  • Experience with vulnerability scanning and management tools such as Nessus or ACAS.
  • Ability to read packet captures via Wireshark or tcpdump and analyze system logs to investigate security issues.
  • Experience securing wireless or cellular infrastructure, including radio access networks or private LTE/5G systems (preferred).
  • Experience with Zero Trust architectures, NAC platforms, or SIEM platforms like Splunk or Elastic (preferred).
  • Experience securing GPU-accelerated or edge AI platforms (preferred).
  • Experience with security automation and Infrastructure-as-Code, including Ansible or Python/Bash (preferred).
  • Experience supporting DoD research, test, or evaluation programs (preferred).
  • Possession of CISSP, CCSP, GICSP, or Certified Kubernetes Security (CKS) Certification (preferred).
