POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES:
Designs, develops, architects, and maintains software solutions for network stack protocol software used to securely exchange data between systems. Partners with stakeholders to identify and review product security requirements. Conducts performance analysis, testing, monitoring and software assessments of networking protocol software to assess, identify and address risks, weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Provides input on secure network and protocols throughout the end-to-end lifecycle development of software products. Researches and implements current and emerging networking protocols, software security trends, vulnerabilities, and technologies. Performs software project management activities and software supplier management functions.
The selected candidate will work with the Ground Systems product team focused on the concept, requirements, architecture, design and development of an advanced ground operating system. The Operating System definition we use is broad. Besides covering multiple operating systems (Windows, Linux, Cisco IOS, CDOT, WindRiver VXWorks, ESXi, etc.) it consists of the provided infrastructure necessary to provide all services of the system. We specialize in air gapped, full featured, and totally self-contained systems, but have also developed WAN connected systems.
Assists with the design, development, architecture, and maintenance of software solutions for network stack protocol software used to securely exchange data between systems.
-Participates in performance analysis, testing, monitoring and software assessments of networking protocol software to assess, identify and address risks, weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
-Gathers information to provide input on secure network and protocols throughout the end-to-end lifecycle development of software products.
-Gathers information to support software project management activities and software supplier management functions.
Successful completion of training is a contingency for this assignment - OJT or formal classroom training.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS (DESIRED SKILLS/EXPERIENCE):
-Accredited Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology (includes manufacturing engineering technology), chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science, or computer science.
-Knowledge of communications and network concepts and principles. Knowledge of antenna and aperture characteristics for application to communications and network system designs. Knowledge of communications and network system design from architecture development to component design. Knowledge of associated technology and methods. Knowledge of secure communications. Knowledge of methods to ensure communication system survivability. Knowledge of communications and network system power system requirements. Knowledge of radio frequency compatibility. Knowledge of multi-discipline integrating issues applicable to communications and network systems, including primary characteristics such as physical and functional interfaces, communications reliability, link availability, and environmental constraints. Additional characteristics include: human factors, maintainability, testability, supportability, mechanical design, packaging, electrical, and software.
-Knowledge of and the ability to apply communications and network systems regulatory requirements (e.g., Federal Aviation Agency [FAA] regulations, Military Specifications, National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), Federal Communications Commission [FCC] regulations) and standards (e.g., safety, military, emissions, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering [IEEE], ARINC, Engineering International Association [EIA], International Civil Air Organization [ICAO], International Standards Organization, International Telecommunications Union [ITU], American National Standards Institute [ANSI], Society of Automotive Engineers [SAE]).
-Ability to identify susceptibility, survivability, and vulnerability (S/V) of the systems, subsystems and delivery mechanisms, based on the knowledge of characteristics and capabilities of threats (e.g. protocol exploits, identity spoofing, malware injection techniques, application layer vulnerabilities).
-Knowledge of software programming languages and databases and the ability to apply to the software domain. Programming languages encompass higher order languages, auto-coded languages and assembly languages.
-Knowledge of the practical application of network technologies. Ability to solve difficult network problems like Quality of Service, multi-level security, network protocol conversion, network management problems and application optimization.
-Ability to innovate in the area of new network systems modeling, simulation, and emulation. Knowledge of programming languages used in modeling, simulation and emulation. Knowledge of software development and testing tools (e.g. desktop simulation tools, configuration management tools, requirements management tools). Knowledge of computer hardware design and operating systems as it relates to modeling, simulation and emulation.
