This role owns cybersecurity alignment activities across Mission Delta 6's space mission enterprise – coordinating Service Level Agreements, driving the CSSP Working Group, and ensuring system owners have a clear, proactive path to compliance rather than a reactive one.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary System Owner interface for cybersecurity alignment activities across Mission Delta 6 space systems at Schriever SFB, Peterson SFB, and the Colorado Springs local area

- Participate in and help drive the CSSP Working Group, surfacing and resolving cybersecurity alignment issues at the working level
- Develop and maintain the Cybersecurity Alignment Plan and supporting compliance documentation
- Apply Zero Trust Architecture principles to cybersecurity alignment across enterprise and space-adjacent network segments (User, Ground, and Space Segments)
- Support eMASS/RMF lifecycle documentation, including SSPs, SARs, and POA&M control-to-evidence mapping
- Provide technical mentorship and day-to-day direction to Analyst-level CSSP team members
- Represent NetSEA in technical discussions and status reviews with the Government Program Manager (GPM) and COR
- Support the Contingency Operations Plan and mission essential coverage requirements as a Tier 1 role
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience
- 10+ years of relevant cybersecurity and/or network engineering experience, including experience in DoD or federal environments
- Active DoD 8140-aligned certification appropriate to a CSSP Analyst/Infrastructure Support work role (e.g., CISSP, GCIH, CASP+, or equivalent)
- Active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility, or an active Secret clearance with a submitted SSBI/Tier 5 investigation and the ability to reach TS/SCI eligibility within approximately 90 days
- U.S. Citizenship required
- Demonstrated experience with RMF/ATO processes, eMASS, and DoD cybersecurity compliance frameworks
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience supporting a CSSP (Cybersecurity Service Provider) mission specifically, rather than general IA/cybersecurity support
- Prior experience supporting U.S. Space Force, Space Delta, or other space mission enterprise programs
- Experience with Zero Trust Architecture implementation or assessment
- Prior experience in a client-facing technical lead or working-group chair role
- Familiarity with SATCOM or space-adjacent network segment security
Knowledge, Skills & Abilities
- Strong working knowledge of NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-171, and RMF control families
- Ability to translate technical findings into clear, actionable guidance for non-technical stakeholders
- Strong written and verbal communication skills suitable for direct Government customer interaction
- Ability to mentor and provide technical direction to junior team members
- Comfort operating with a high degree of autonomy in a small, embedded team environment
Work Environment and Physical Demands
- On-site position at a Government facility in the Colorado Springs, CO area (Schriever SFB / Peterson SFB)
- Standard office environment; some periods may require extended hours to meet reporting deadlines or respond to cyber incidents
- Access to classified spaces and systems requiring adherence to all applicable security protocols
