DoD systems knowledge : Proven experience with DoD weapons systems, MIL-STD specifications, and secure communications protocols.

Real-time embedded system testing frameworks : Experience with automated test environments, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, and simulation tools.

Cross Domain Solutions expertise : Familiarity with CDS architectures, guard technologies, and accreditation processes.

High Assurance Secure Computing expertise : Experience with formal verification, trusted execution environments, and high-assurance operating systems.

Anti-Tamper expertise : Knowledge of AT design, implementation, and evaluation techniques to protect sensitive defense technologies.

Post-Quantum Cryptography: Understanding of and experience with integrating PQC

End-to-End Security Architecture: Architect secure boot flows, cryptographic engines, and root-of-trust (RoT)

Desired Skills:

Advanced system security methods : Expertise in hardware-based security, cryptographic modules, and trusted computing.

OEM Engagement: Experience working with system OEMs and collaborating across technologies.

Secure processing & HPC leadership : Recognized authority in secure processor architectures, parallel computing, and performance optimization for defense workloads.

NSA CSfC Program understanding : Knowledge of the NSA Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Program, including layered solution architectures and compliance requirements.

Type 1 encryption requirements : Familiarity with NSA Type 1 encryption standards, devices, and certification processes for classified communications.

Certification : TOGAF certification required, demonstrating expertise in enterprise architecture frameworks and alignment of system security engineering with organizational strategy.
