The Cyberspace Combat Department (CCD) within the Cyberspace Systems Security Subdivision (CS3) is at the forefront of defending our Nation’s interests in, from, and to the space domain. Our team of leading cybersecurity professionals specializes in offensive and defensive cyber operations, space-focused cyber assessments, reverse engineering, and exploit development to ensure cyberspace superiority in support of space control operations. We integrate cutting-edge technologies with deep expertise in cyber warfare to deliver combat-credible capabilities that enable the Joint warfighter to achieve space superiority.
We are seeking a Space Vehicle Defense Cybersecurity Project Engineer to advance critical Space Vehicle Defense (SVD) initiatives within the CCD. This role primarily supports the U.S. Space Force’s (USSF) 6th Sustainment Squadron (6 STS) and Mission Delta 6 by advancing on-board cybersecurity capabilities that protect space vehicles from cyber-physical threats across the orbital, link, and terrestrial segments. You will serve as a technical authority and task leader for SVD capability development, evaluation, integration, and operational deployment, ensuring space vehicles maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability in contested, degraded, and operationally limited environments. This position plays a vital role in implementing defensive cyberspace warfare measures that preserve friendly space capabilities and deny adversaries the ability to exploit space systems through cyberspace attacks, directly contributing to space superiority as defined in Space Force doctrine.
