About the role
- Our products and technologies require an extraordinary team-one that will ensure the security of tomorrow's technologies while deploying today's best.
- As a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer (Level 3) within our Digital Operations team, you won't just be monitoring alerts or checking compliance boxes.
Responsibilities
- Partner directly with non-cyber employees (program managers, manufacturing engineers, test stand operators) to understand their workflows and help them safely manage CUI and new tools without fear or unnecessary friction.
- Design controls around engineering workflows to eliminate latency and operational bottlenecks, ensuring compliance feels like an accelerator rather than a roadblock.
- Lead the technical implementation to strategically expand our CMMC Level 2 boundary beyond our cloud-only enclave-safely integrating on-premise infrastructure, physical testing equipment, and shop floor operations without expanding CMMC scope to the entire enterprise network.
- Manage and optimize technical security controls (SIEM, firewalls, zero-trust network access, identity platforms, vulnerability management) across both cloud and physical network environments.
Requirements
- 4+ years of dedicated cybersecurity engineering experience in regulated or high-rigor environments.
- Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
Nice to have
- Master's degree in a technical field
- active CISSP, CISM, CISA, or CRISC certifications.
- Direct experience participating in or maintaining a C3PAO CMMC assessment environment.
- What we can't quantify for you are the exciting challenges, supportive team, and amazing culture we enjoy.
- Classification: Full-Time, Exempt
- 401k with Company Match
Skills

- one in which every link in an enormous value chain isn't limited by those around it.
Compensation
